🍎 BOB FOR APPLES AND UNLOCK YOUR ADOPTOBER DISCOUNT!

🎃 Because nothing says fall festivities like discounted adoption fees and bringing home a tiny lunatic! 🐾😂

At just 7 months old, Gonzo is a Muppet Terrier with satellite-dish ears, a magnificent snoot, and the facial expression of someone who just heard the word "TREAT." 🐔👀

Much like his Muppet namesake, he's enthusiastic, delightfully weird, and probably shouldn't be left in charge of the special effects. 💥

He's a social little dude who loves doggy playgroup, although he sometimes gets a little carried away flirting with the ladies.

SIR. MISS PIGGY IS NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS. 💋🐷

He's sweet, playful, and ready for a family who appreciates a little puppy-powered chaos.

Adopt Gonzo. Every family needs a Muppet, and this one comes with four legs and absolutely no understanding of personal space. 😂💚

Meet Nutmeg, the sweetest spice in the Halloween mix! This four year old girl is the best of both worlds. One minute she's having a blast playing with her dog friends who can match her energy, and the next she's curled up beside her favorite people, soaking up all the cuddles she can get. Whether it's an autumn adventure, a stroll through colorful leaves, or a cozy movie night under a blanket, Nutmeg is always happy to be part of the fun.

She'd love a home with children 7 and older, plenty of love, and lots of opportunities to show off her playful side. Cats aren't really her cup of pumpkin spice, but if you're looking for a loyal companion who can switch effortlessly from zoomies to snuggles, Nutmeg might just be the perfect ingredient for your family.

And don't forget, now through October 31st, we’ve partnered with Subaru Loves Pets Ken Ganley’s of North Olmsted & Bedford for “Bob for Your Bestie”!

Pick your apple and receive $25, $35, or $45 off our regular $95 adoption fee, a spooky‑sweet deal for anyone ready to fall in love.

🍎 BOB FOR APPLES, SAVE SOME CASH, AND ADOPT A NAKED POODLE! 🍎

Adoptober is here, and bobbing for apples earns you a discount on your adoption fee!

Toodles would like to apologize for his current state of undress. This 4-year-old Poodle arrived wearing several pounds of matted, rather fragrant fur that was well past the point of saving. The mats had to go, and unfortunately, so did his dignity. 😂

But underneath all that questionable hair was a handsome, playful goofball who loves fetch, hanging out with his dog friends, and occasionally getting a little too enthusiastic about socializing. He's still working on his manners, so a family willing to provide some guidance would be ideal. Kids 12 and up are preferred.

Toodles is ready for a fresh start, a cozy home, and eventually, a pair of pants. Until then, please respect his privacy during this difficult time. 💙

OUTTA THE KENNEL & INTO THE WORLD! 🌎

Meet Bonzai! This 7-month-old Pit Mix may be little, but his personality is anything BUT! Bonzai is all about the puppy life — zoomies, toys, goofy antics, and making every moment an adventure! This happy-go-lucky boy has plenty of energy to burn and a whole lot of love to give. ❤️

He's still just a baby learning about the big world around him, and what better way to explore it than with a Dogs Day Out adventure?! Whether it's exploring new places, sniffing all the smells, or simply enjoying some one-on-one time outside the shelter, Bonzai is ready to get out there and experience it all!

Want to be Bonzai's adventure buddy? Sign up for Dogs Day Out and help this sweet, silly pup enjoy a much-deserved break from kennel life! 🐾

John Jr. — a whole lot of handsome with a heart to match!

That smile! That adorable face! That little black patch over one eye! 😍 At 2 years old, this Bulldog mix is serving up good looks, a lovable personality, and a few tricks up his paw! He’s a great leash-walking buddy, knows “sit,” and offers his paw like a gentleman. He also loves playing with his doggie friends who match his energy and would do best in a home with kids 8 and older. Add his sweet nature and tidy kennel habits, and you’ve got yourself quite a catch!

Come meet John Jr. and see that irresistible smile in person! 😁 There’s an extra reason to make it happen now! Our BOB FOR YOUR BESTIE adoption promotion runs through October 31. Adopt any dog 4 months or older and save $25, $35, or $45 off the regular $95 adoption fee!

John Jr. is more than ready to be someone’s BESTIE! 💙🐾

Playgroups form some great summer camp like friendships between the pups in our care. They play their morning away before heading back to their kennels for their afternoon naps and activities while looking for new families.
