My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Are you looking for a spunky gal who tells you exactly what she wants? Then look no further than perfect Pippa!

Pippa is a 5 and a half year old Coonhound and weighs about 60 lbs. Anyone who meets her knows she is as smart as she is sassy! Pippa is not shy to let volunteers know when she needs to go out, when she wants to play, and when she's ready to nap. She makes volunteers laugh when she rolls halfway on her back and falls asleep with her front feet in the air and ears falling over her bed.

In addition to being smart, Pippa is also strong, but so are her training skills! She is a graduate of our Grafton training program, and although it may take some practice with her new owners, Pippa is treat you motivated which helps with training.

The best furever home for Pippa would be one without small children, as she LOVES her toys too much to share. Pippa is adorable in that she is crazy about fun toys, but she also is very protective over them, so older children or adults only is a must.
Although Pippa doesn't mind other dogs, she can be selfish with her toys and food so we believe she would do best in a home without other dogs. She also loves to be active and exercise. Everyone who walks her knows she loves a good back scratch in the grass, to stretch out in the sunshine, and get some excited walks in.

If you believe this smart and spunky Coonhound should be your newest family member, please reach out to her consultant Rachael at 440-773-0270.

More about this rescue

Berea Animal Rescue Fund “ARF” began in 1987 as a small group of animal lovers started a ‘grassroots’ movement, recognizing the desperate housing and healthcare needs of homeless animals. Their efforts began in the southwest suburban Cleveland area, transforming a family’s garage into an animal "shelter."

The ARF movement grew when the city of Berea provided us a small building, utility costs included. In return, ARF would always have a cage open for the city’s stray animals. Now, after 20 years of service and thousands of success stories later ARF continues to save lives and make friends. ARF is operated in large part by a group of very dedicated volunteers who give their time and endless love to the shelter's furry residents.

Our next big goal is to position ourselves into a roomier facility…a more spacious home to the area's unwanted and abandoned animals. We believe no pet should be euthanized or left behind because lack of such a place. Our facility is overcrowded and outdated by today’s animal welfare standards. ONLY, through the generous support of the community and the dedication of our volunteers, can we make this dream a reality.

2007 was record breaking for ARF with both animals served and operating costs. Much help is needed!

The Berea Animal Rescue Fund “ARF” operates as a No Time Limit Shelter.
We are a 501(c) 3 Non Profit.

ARF's mission statement.... For the betterment of the lives of stray and abandoned animals, Berea’s Animal Rescue Fund, Inc. promises to:

Provide shelter, food and medical necessities;
Seek quality homes through adoption programs;
Create public interest and awareness of animal rights and issues; and
