Story

*SPECIAL NEEDS GIRL IN SEARCH OF SPECIAL HOME for PALLIATIVE CAREMeet our special needs girl Zoey. While under our care, Zoey had a soft tissue sarcoma tumor surgically removed from her leg. It may or may not come back. For that reason, we are asking for a permanent foster who is willing to open up their home to Zoey for as long as she has on this earth. The Shelter will continue to pay for all her vetting while she is in the permanent foster’s home. Zoey is a female Boxer mix that weighs 56 pounds. She is 8.5 years young. This girl came to us as an owner surrender after her loving owner passed away. Zoey is a very good girl and would make a great family dog. In the home, Zoey is very calm and easy going. She will follow you around and keep you company, whether you want it or not (LOL). She is very much a Velcro dog. Zoey thoroughly enjoys car rides. She is housetrained and has a medium energy level. She is dog selective meaning she likes some dogs, and others, not so much especially small dogs.. Zoey also does well with certain cats. If you have a resident dog, you must schedule a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along. Zoey would be perfectly fine being the only dog too. Zoey is already spayed and microchipped. Please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and fill out an adoption application online to meet Zoey. Zoey lives her life day by day. She just needs a loving home.

Muggle

Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Schnauzer (Standard)

Male, 1 yr

Parma, OH

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Muggles in the Harry Potter series were boring non-magical people. While our Muggle may not be magical, he is definitely a hoot and a half and will have you constantly laughing and on your toes. Muggle came to us as an owner surrender through no fault of his own. He is around 1 year old and weighs 51 lbs. He is a high energy dog that will play fetch all day long. He can pull on leash but with some general leash training, he will be walking like a pro in no time. Muggle is so unique looking. We think he`s a Wirehaired pointer mix. He has the scruffy marble colored coat of a wire- haired dog and an underbite that is downright adorable. He likes to jump on you to give you a hug. He is dog friendly. A dog that will tolerate his exuberant play style would be great. Muggle is a friend to everyone-adults and children. He wags his tail a mile a minute. The previous owner states that Muggle is housetrained. At the shelter, he keeps his kennel clean. Muggle is very food-motivated and he knows the commands of sit and give paw. Muggle is available for adoption and is neutered, up to date on vaccines, HW tested, and microchipped. Please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and fill out an adoption application online to meet Muggle. His adoption fee is $160.

Story

Please note: King is in a volunteer foster home and not at the shelter. Every once in a while, a dog like King comes along. King is a male Boxer mix that weighs 60+ pounds and is approximately 2 years old. King came to us as a stray. He is in horrible shape-very thin, skin infections, and little hair. We don’t know what happened to King but we can assure you, he is so grateful for all the love and TLC given to him. He is happy and ready to put his past behind him. This boy is so friendly and delightful. He just needs a home with a family that will promise to treat him like the King he is. He is a fairly easy dog- he curls up on his bed at the end of the night, licks the bowl after he finishes his food, and walks ok on leash. This holiday season is about appreciation and love. And while the dog volunteers always have a secret favorite shelter dog, I think we all agree that King is our absolute favorite. Because of King’s unknown background, we don’t know his compatibility with other dogs, cats, or children. At the shelter, he is unphased by the other dogs. A meet and greet is required with any resident dog to ensure that everyone gets along. We believe that once King recovers, he will be a spunkier different dog in the home. He is already such a good boy. King is available for our foster to adopt program which means you can foster him in your home until he finishes his vetting which includes neuter, vaccines, heartworm testing, and a microchip. For now, King needs to gain much-needed weight and let his skin heal. Please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and fill out an adoption application online to meet King. His adoption fee is $160. All of us have promised King that it’s only the best for the rest!
