🌮 HAPPY NATIONAL TACO DAY! 🌮

Bindi is helping us celebrate today, and we think this is quite possibly the best day of her life. Tacos full of Cheez Whiz… how could it get any better?!😂

Well, we do know one way… a home. ❤️

Bindi is truly a one-of-a-kind dog looking for a very special person. She is one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet. Once she trusts you, she gives you her whole heart and looks at you with the sweetest, most grateful eyes for giving her love.

When Bindi came to us as a stray, she was absolutely terrified and incredibly skinny. She’s slowly but surely making progress, and even though she’s still scared, she is completely sweet. Give her some time, and she’ll slowly rest her head on you for comfort.🥺

This girl does not belong in a shelter. She needs a home with someone who is looking for a best friend and a dog to love, cuddle, and help find her confidence.

Once Bindi has time to decompress and realize she’s safe, we truly believe she’ll continue to blossom. She just needs someone willing to be patient and support her along the way.❤️🐾

And maybe share a few more Cheez Whiz tacos while you’re at it. 🌮😉

Yesterday, we were able to provide food for 508 dogs in our community!❤️🐾

We’re so thankful for Greater Good Charities for helping make our Pet Food Pantry possible and allowing us to continue supporting local pets and their families.💛

Stay tuned! Our next Pet Food Pantry date will be announced soon.🐶

Meet Mileena! 🐾💕

This cute girl is the sweetest, shy little thing! Mileena was found running loose on Hametown Rd. in Copley last month and unfortunately no owner ever came to claim her.

She was already spayed when she arrived and didn’t have a microchip. But one thing we do know? This girl seems much more comfortable with the idea of a home than life in a shelter. She’s potty trained, sweet, and just waiting for someone to give her a chance.

Mileena may be a little shy at first, but we have a feeling once she warms up, you’re going to wonder how you ever lived without her!🥹

Stop in to meet this sweet girl if you’re looking to adopt. We promise… you’ll fall in love! ❤️

🎃 We found our Halloween costume model for the year! 👻 it’s Shawn!

We tried ALL of our Halloween costumes on this handsome old man because he’s apparently the ONLY one who will sit like a perfect gentleman and let us dress him up. No complaints, no drama, just a very good boy letting us live out our Halloween dreams!!

But behind those costume pics is the sweetest old man who really needs a home of his own❤️

Can we find this good boy his forever home? He’s already got the patience and manners of a perfect gentleman. Now he just needs his person!🐾

📍 250 Opportunity Pkwy in Akron
🐾Stop in to meet him until 4pm today or 12-2 tomorrow!
It’s BARKTOBER🎃
All of our adoptions are currently $28 and all animals come spayed/neutered, microchipped, and fully vetted!
