Wendy

Meet Wendy - a sweet, beautiful girl who is blossoming with love and care in a foster home!<br/><br/>When Wendy first arrived at the kennel, she was in rough shape. She had a tar-like substance on her face and skin irritation and was understandably shut down, scared, and unsure of the world around her. Since moving into a foster home, she’s already begun to heal, decompress, and slowly gain confidence, and it’s been wonderful to see her sweet personality emerge!<br/><br/>Wendy is a super sweet, wiggly girl once she’s comfortable. She loves playing with toys—especially stuffies, which she enthusiastically “unstuffs.” Wendy loves spending time with her people and she enjoys attention and gentle pets, and has become quite the cuddle bug!<br/><br/>In the home, she has had no accidents, and she sleeps calmly in her crate. If left out while her person steps away, she may whine or bark briefly, but she settles with reassurance and routine. She enjoys her meals and is treat motivated, already knowing sit and paw. On leash, she walks nicely with only a little pulling. For her play group assessment she was social in a gentle/dainty way; she’s seen the other dog in foster home through a baby gate and has been calm and mostly minded her own business. At first, Wendy could be sensitive about fast movements especially around her head/neck, but she has gotten a lot more confident and is comfortable being handled by those she's familiar with now. <br/><br/>Overall, Wendy is a truly sweet girl who is learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. She just deserves a home where she can continue to feel safe, cared for, loved, and where her gentle heart can keep blossoming. Wendy is around 3 years old and weighs 41 lbs, but still needs to gain weight! <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.
