My story

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

When Howie arrived at the shelter, he was battling a skin condition that left him without most of his fur, but he`s well on his way to growing it back. Though he`s still a little underweight, Howie’s love for snacks is helping him bulk up to a healthy size. Despite his rough start, Howie’s personality shines through—he`s a happy, playful, and goofy boy who loves to make everyone smile. If you’re looking for a dog who will bring joy and laughter into your life, Howie is your guy! Please note Howie is currently residing in a foster home and is not available for same day meet and greets. If you are interested in learning more about Howie or scheduling a meet and greet, please email the foster team at foster@cuyahogacounty.gov today!

Adoption Process

All dogs are adopted on a first come first adopt basis. We will not hold a dog for anyone. We strongly encourage you to stop down and pay us a visit, as we have many more dogs in our care than are listed on the website. You may visit with our dogs during our normal business hours of: Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; Sunday from 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.; closed on Monday.

Adoption Questionnaire

Before you can spend time with a dog, there is a brief questionnaire that you will need to fill out. Our staff will review these questions with you in order to help you decide which dog is the right fit for you, your family, and your lifestyle. This information is confidential and will be used only to assist our staff in determining the best possible placement. Please spend the time necessary to make the best possible decision for you AND the dog you may adopt.

Adoption Fees
The cost to adopt a dog is $95, $170 for a puppy. This includes:

DHLP, Parvo Vaccination, Rabies Vaccination and Bordatella
Heartworm test for age appropriate dogs
Spay/Neuter surgery
Dog license

Although dogs receive initial vaccinations from us, please make an appointment to see your veterinarian within ten to 14 days after you take your new dog home for a complete and thorough physical examination, and to continue with vaccinations as necessary.

Where Our Dogs Come From

Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter is a temporary home for dogs that are found on the streets by the county dog wardens. Dogs are held for 72 hours in order for the owner to claim them. After the holding period, unclaimed dogs may be available for adoption.
