Spritz

Meet Spritz — a sweet, goofy, people-loving boy who truly blossoms outside the kennel.<br/><br/>Around 1 year old and about 39 lbs, Spritz arrived at the kennel a bit skinny but is steadily gaining weight and confidence, though he still retains his charmingly long legs. The kennel environment can be overwhelming for sensitive dogs, but volunteers consistently describe him as playful, affectionate, and very people-oriented once he feels safe.<br/><br/>Spritz has spent multiple overnight stays in a home and has done wonderfully — he is an excellent cuddler, sleeps well through the night, and settles in nicely with routine. In a calm environment, his fun and loving personality really shines.<br/><br/>He absolutely loves head rubs, toys, and being close to his people. He’s known for his adorable zoomies, playful bows, wiggly happy dances, and even his signature little “Spritz hugs.” He has a medium-to-high playful energy level with a sweet, slightly goofy personality that makes people fall for him quickly.<br/><br/>Spritz has shown a gentle approach with treats and enjoys walks (though he may pull a bit when excited — he’s still young and learning!). In play group, he has demonstrated a social, softer play style with other dogs, and he might enjoy a canine companion in his future home. Plus, he has shown potential with cats as well.<br/><br/>While he may be a little shy with brand-new experiences at first, he warms up with patience and routine and shows just how fun, affectionate, and loving he is. This good boy is still learning the ropes of being a dog and would thrive with a kind, patient adopter who will continue helping him build confidence and enjoy the safe, happy life he deserves.<br/><br/>Visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog to set up a meet!<br/><br/>Visit: 9203 Detroit Avenue Cleveland, OH 44102<br/><br/>Fee: $61 | Includes spay/neuter, shots, microchip, license,<br/><br/>The CITY DOGS mission is to increase adoptions from the City Kennel by changing the image of the pit bulls who make up the majority of the kennel population, by preparing all adoptable dogs in the kennel for lives in loving homes and by creating as many opportunities as possible for the public to meet and get to know our dogs for the terrific pets they are meant to be.<br/><br/>Our Adoption Process...<br/>Here's a little about how things work:<br/>All of the CITY DOGS posted for adoption are available for direct adoption from the kennel, unless noted otherwise. You must schedule a meet with a dog in advance - we are not currently accepting walk-ins. Please look online first to see if there are any dogs you think would be a good fit for your home before scheduling a meet. To get the process started, visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog and fill out the form. One of our adoption counselors will get in touch to schedule and confirm your meet! At the kennel, an adoption counselor will introduce you and your family to the adoptable dogs, share information we know about them, and discuss our suggested ways for successfully integrating a new dog into your home. You are welcome to meet multiple dogs. If the dog you adopt is already fixed, he or she may leave with you that day - otherwise, the dog can go home after receiving the spay or neuter surgery.)<br/><br/>About Our Dogs: All available dogs have gone through a behavioral and medical assessment. This assessment is a snapshot of who the dog is at that given time. We cannot make any guarantees with regard to behavior, temperament or health of any City Dog once they are in the home. Most of our dogs are picked up as strays, so we do not know what kind of home environment they were living in (i.e. with kids, other dogs or other cats), nor do we know if most of them are house trained. Everything we know about them is based on volunteer and staff observations. We do have some dogs in foster homes, where they will have more information about how the dog is in a home environment. It is very hard to tell with certainty whether or not a dog will be good with kids, cats or another dog. If you have kids in the home or another dog, we do require that they be present for a meet and greet with the dog you are considering for adoption.<br/><br/>Heath/Vaccinations: Dogs that are adopted directly from the kennel need to go to your personal vet within two weeks of leaving the kennel. All dogs receive their DAPPL, Rabies, and Bordatella vaccines, though you may be required to get follow up boosters. All dogs come microchipped and with a Cuyahoga County license.
