Caesar was Found Alive and Well

Matt, Caesar’s Dad, got a call from the Shaker Hts/Oakwood Dog Warden advising that they believed they had his dog at the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter in Valley View. Matt was at work so he called Lilly and I to go and see if it was in fact Caesar. We got to the shelter shortly around noon and discovered that it was him! Staff told us that Caesar was found in Shaker Hts on Sunday 7-18-10 (he ran away or was taken 7-17-10/ 8:30pm) and transported to the Shelter by Oakwood’s Dog warden on Monday. By luck a worker at the shelter named Larry remembered seeing one of our color reward flyers that had been faxed or emailed in and put two and two together when he was cleaning the “Pit” section. Larry said that this was not his “usual” job and it was pure luck that he had just happened to see the flyer. Larry also said that Caesar was due to be euthanized in two days (7-24-10) if no one had claimed him by then.
THANK YOU ALL so very much – Caesar would not have been recognized and recovered (in the nick of time!) were it not for the attentiveness, care, and concern of loving “dog people” like you! |
Caesar is found safe and sound, back at his palace with his Dad. THANK YOU so much to everyone for all of your efforts.
A celebration in honor of his return, including a corn hole tournament with proceeds benefitting the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter and the Euclid Pound, was held this Saturday at Dave’s house. Also, a cute picture of Caesar, his dad, and uncle are shown above, as is a map showing Caesar’s big journey.Mix 106.5 Listener Lunch

Zoo Review
Date posted: June 19
For all of you who attended and volunteered your time at the Meet Your Best Friend at the Zoo Event on Saturday, June 12th, THANK YOU! The event was so widely attended this year, with more than 4,600 people walking through the wonderful set-up of tents, which housed over 20 local humane organizations. There were over 90 on-site adoptions, which broke the record from last year’s 80 adoptions. Two of the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter’s pooches were included in that total; Fritz, a male Poodle mix and Betsy, a sweet female Boston Terrier Boxer mix who has been at the Shelter since March 2010. And a huge thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make this event possible. Even though the weather reached over 90 degrees and there was rain, all had a great time.

There is a big Thank You in order from the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter for the opportunity to join Mix 106.5 at the IX Indoor Amusement Park for two special and fun-filled weekends in April. The IX Indoor Amusement Park opened their lobby to the volunteers from the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter on Saturday, April 10th and April 17th of this year. The IX staff made flyers for the Shelter, allowing us to give any adult who donated to the Best Friends’ Medical Relief Fund a discount off their admission tickets, with all proceeds going to our dogs and puppies needing medical care. We also had amusement park goers stop by and inquire about the Shelter and the plentiful amount of dogs and puppies for adoption.
A special thanks to the Shelter volunteers who helped make this event such a success: on Saturday April 10th – Melanie, Josie, Andrea, Corrine, Jill, Carol and Janice; and on Saturday, April 17th – Kelly, Donna, Marijo, David P., David J. All these people took time out of their busy Saturdays to donate their time and enthusiam to this wonderful event and allow us the opportunity to share information about our Shelter. Thanks again to everyone who worked so hard and their energy that went into this event!
