Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Michelangelo will be patiently waiting at our shelter for his forever home.
Meet Michelangelo! He is an approximately 2.5-year-old pot bull mix with a heart as big as his playful personality. This special boy has overcome incredible odds, including the amputation of one of his rear legs due to multiple fractures. But don't let that fool you - Michelangelo hasn't missed a beat! He's spunky, energetic, and full of life, always ready to brighten your day.
Michelangelo adores his toys, especially squeaky ones, and can entertain himself for hours with his favorites. While he's respectful and calm around other dogs, he's happiest doing his own thing. Cats, however, are not his cup of tea, so a feline-free home is a must.
He's a champ in his crate, fully potty trained, and ready to settle down after playtime. Michelangelo's resilience and joyful spirit make him the perfect companion for someone looking for a playful and loving dog who knows how to bounce back from life's challenges.
If you're ready to welcome this one-of-a-kind pup into your home, bring your family and canine companions to the shelter during our open hours to meet him. Please note that a meet and greet with other dogs in the home is required before adoption can be completed.

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 Our facility is overcrowded and outdated by today’s animal welfare standards.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:
Give loving care and companionship for as long as needed;
Provide shelter, food and medical necessities;
Seek quality homes through adoption programs;
Create public interest and awareness of animal rights and issues; and
Promote action and advocacy for all of the above.
