My story

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

Say hello to Sprinkles!

Sprinkles is a 4-year-old Bulldog/Terrier mix who comes in at a petite 47lbs. He is a sweet and sensitive soul looking for a family that is willing to give him a home to blossom in. Sprinkles arrived in our care with heartworm disease that has been left untreated for so long that it caused irreversible damage to his heart. Although you would never know by interacting with him, it has caused him to be on daily medication long term to keep him happy and healthy! He lived in a foster home and is crate and potty trained and is the perfect companion for anyone looking for a quiet pup to add to their home that takes a little extra TLC.

Sprinkles can be nervous when meeting new people and may need a couple yummy treats to warm up. Once comfortable this boy would make a great topping to any sundae. He is a quiet boy who would adore a comfy bed, and a couple of squeaky toys to call his own. He has never met a squeaky toy that he doesn`t love and he will gladly self occupy for hours. Sprinkles can do well with dogs with a slow intro, but would much rather have a companion than a playmate. As for kids, due to his soft nature he would enjoy living with kids as young as 13.

If Sprinkles sounds like the missing piece to your ice cream, give us a call at 330-487-0333 ext.226!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All of our adoptable animals are up-to-date on all age appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, de-wormed, de-flea and microchipped before adoptions are finalized. All dogs over six months of age receive a temperament assessment by our Certified Professional Dog Trainer to ensure appropriate placement. Also, many animals in our care receive basic obedience training to improve manners and increase adoptability.

We are currently doing adoptions by appointment only. Please contact us by phone at (234) 212-9843 or email at adoptions@summithumane.org, and an adoption counselor will return your message. They will review our adoption process, answer any questions, and tell you more about the animals currently available for adoption at our shelter and in our foster program. If we have a match for you and your family, an appointment will be scheduled to meet the animal.

Additional questions can be directed to our adoption team at (234) 212-9843.
