My story

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

Gumbo is a handsome 2-year-old Pit Bull with a heart as big as his name suggests. This sweet boy has a gentle and timid nature, and he`s a little head-shy, so he’ll need patient adopters who can help him build confidence. He would thrive in a calm home with older children who understand how to respect his space. He gets along well with female dogs and enjoys their company, making him a great candidate for a home with a canine sister. With the right love and understanding, Gumbo is sure to blossom into the loyal, loving companion of your dreams. Could Gumbo be your perfect match? Come meet him today!

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.

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.
