Parma Shelter Adoptable Dog

Isn't that the sweetest little face! Riley is a special little guy who has had a rough start to life but is still very affectionate, although just a tad timid at first.

Riley is the only one still looking for a forever home. He needs someone who will be a little patient with him because of his shyness; but he promises lots of love in return. His foster mom says he's already come a long way. Riley is about 45 lbs and up to date on his shots. Note: This dog is in foster care. If you're interested, call Ros at 440 236 8408.

Bambi

Bambi is a five year old terrier mix. She's very energetic and would be a wonderful agility dog. She would benefit from additional obedience training and loves to learn new things.

Dogs


Will You Take Me Home?

Adjusting to a New Home

When you adopt a dog, please, give him time to get used to his surroundings and your family structure and routines. Time (at least 2 weeks) to get him used to your schedule and patience are essential elements to a successful adoption. We try to socialize our dogs with as many volunteers as possible but we cannot duplicate a home environment by any means.

Shelter Life

Life in a shelter is very stressful for animals and they need a period of adjustment once they come to your home. All of our "guests" deserve a chance to be part of a loving family.

We ask only that you give them a FAIR chance!

Questions and Answers

Have questions about our dogs? E-mail us!

If you have questions about dog and puppy care see our Links pages!

Evaluating Dogs

We update information on temperament etc. as we learn about our guests. Remember our animals don't have AKC papers - they were strays so we are guessing at their breed!

Training and Handling

Our dog handlers attend classes to teach them commands, how to walk nicely without pulling, and thus become more adoptable. If you are interested in pursuing this training after adoption, Ginger Alpine offers classes... Please call (440) 236-9083 if you want information on upcoming classes.

Lost and Found!

Dogs found by animal control are kept for three days so their owners can find them. We will take applications in the meantime but please consider a dog who has been in the shelter longer "just in case". We have lots of good dogs who have been waiting a long time for a home. Please give them a chance to find a place in your heart.

We dedicate this poem to all the ones who didn't make it into the shelter because there was no room! Click here!
