ADOPTION DAY PETSMART at Great Northern Mall in North Olmsted Saturday February 13, 2010 from 12 -4
were all KILLED this morning at the shelter! 4 million dogs are killed in US shelters every year. STOP THE OVER POPULATION SPAY / NEUTER YOUR DOG!
We are all volunteers who do the best that we can with the limited funds and resources available to us. We give the potential adopter as much information as we can, including copies of all vet records but we normally do not know the history of the dogs, as they are strays at the pound. Very rarely do we have owner releases. All dogs in our program were minutes away from being put to sleep so the pound could make space for more strays.
This listing and it's administer is not responsible and/or liable for the outcome of any adoption made through these listings as we are only providing information. This listing and it's administer is also not responsible and is held harmless for the accuracy and reliability of the information provided within these listings. Owners, foster homes and adopters bear the full responsibility and liability for any dog listed.
#1) WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF FOSTER HOMES! Fostering is a great way to have a dog without out all the added expense. Not to mention you are actually helping to save a life!

#4) Go to PETCO gift cards and have a gift card sent to Multiple Breed Rescue to buy supplies for the dogs in need
#5) Donate items such as blankets, towels, food, collars, leashes, toys, dog beds, sheets, treats, etc.
#6) The most important thing you can do and EVERYONE should do.
EDUCATE people on the option of adoption!
Due to recent events we have found it difficult to introduce a dog into a home with children under the age of 4 years old. We are no longer adopting to homes with children 4 years or younger. The ONLY exception that will be made is that the child has in the last 6 months lived with a dog or is currently living with a dog.
All adopters must fill out an application. Please see listed below an application. You may copy this application, paste into an email, fill it out completely, and send it here to be processed.
NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE
Adoption Application
We reserve the right to refuse any applicant for any reason if we feel the needs of the dog will not be properly met or the adoption is not in the best interest of the dog.
Please make sure you completely fill out the application before submitting it to us.
The application and adoption processes are designed to match appropriate homes with appropriate dogs. While many dogs may be attractive to the eye, we are very careful to understand the lifestyle of each adopter since we clearly understand the individual needs of dogs in our care.
We do not ship dogs; we require that the applicant come to meet the dog and us before an adoption will be made.
Our goal is to place dogs in happy, forever homes where the adopting party and dogs are both winners.
