Umpire

Call the ball and adopt Umpire! This happy, active pup is quick to make friends with a big smile and wagging tail. He is playful and goofy and ready to be your best pal for all sorts of fun and adventures!<br/><br/>Umpire's friendliness extends to people and dogs alike. He is a regular in our play groups might enjoy having a doggy playmate in his future home. He often acts as a "helper dog" welcoming new dogs to play group because he is great at adapting his play style to match the other dogs, whether they are rowdy wrestlers or more dainty.<br/><br/>Umpire has also had a good time participating in our run groups, hikes, and good old fashion play time. He has some exuberant, bouncy energy when he first gets out but tends to burn it quickly, and then he settles into a more easy-going pace. During downtime, he likes to sploot in the grass or hang out for pets. <br/><br/>Umpire already knows a few cues. He can sit for treats and is working on "down." He also tends to do his business outside, so we believe he could be housebroken. In the car, he can be a little nervous jumping in but then settles into being a nice passenger. So if you're looking for a fun-loving, active buddy to help you get out and about - Umpire is ready to meet you!<br/><br/>Umpire is estimated to be around 2 years old and weighs a sturdy 54 lbs. He is ready to hear the call that he is "safe" at home.

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.
