Help Cuyahoga County’s Stray and Abandoned Dogs

CURRENT NEEDS

Volunteers are always needed to walk and socialize our shelter dogs. Attendance at an orientation session is required before you can begin. Please contact Kara Archer, our volunteer coordinator, at karcher@cuyahogacounty.us or 216-525-4817 for more information. Thank you!

 

Volunteer Your Time

If you have some free time to spare and love dogs, helping our homeless pups can be a VERY rewarding experience. To get started, you’ll need to attend a volunteer orientation. Please contact Kara Archer, the volunteer coordinator, (karcher@cuyahogacounty.us or 216-525-4817), for the date and time of the next volunteer orientation.

 

A team of volunteers assist the shelter with many activities that we would be unable to accomplish otherwise.

These include:

  • Bathing and grooming our dogs
  • Exercising and socializing our dogs
  • Foster care
  • Adoption Follow-Ups
  • Literature Distribution
  • Fund-Raising
  • Humane Education
  • Promotional Booth Work

 

Donations are Welcome

 

Many items are needed to help us provide the best of care for our homeless shelter friends.

 

We can always use:

  • Towels
  • Blankets
  • Collars and leashes
  • Laundry soap, bleach, and other cleaning supplies
  • Dog Treats
  • Bowls
  • Food
  • Toys and Plastic Bags
  • Items for raffle gift baskets to raise money for the Best Friends’ Medical Relief Fund

 

These items are just a few of the many things you can donate to help Cuyahoga County’s homeless dogs. All contributions will directly benefit the shelter dogs and are greatly appreciated!

 

We also gratefully accept  tax-deductible monetary donations at any time from individuals, groups, or businesses. Please contact Lesley DeSouza in our business office at 216-525-4813  if you have questions.
