Serving Our Community
As an official government organization, we serve the residents of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, with a deep commitment to animal welfare. Our work centers on supporting the health, safety, and enrichment of the dogs in our care while providing vital resources to local pet owners.
How We Care for Our Dogs
Our facility at 9500 Sweet Valley Dr. in Valley View serves as a hub of activity and care. We are dedicated to providing enrichment for our dogs to ensure they are happy and healthy while they wait for their forever families. From our team’s daily efforts to our public-facing events, we maintain a transparent and active environment focused on animal well-being.
