ABOUT US

Our mission at the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter is to care for, enrich and medically treat the stray dogs of Cuyahoga County while educating and protecting its residents.  

We have an abundance of programs here created to do just that! 

Both our Volunteer, Enrichment & Play Group programs help keep our dogs mentally and physically stimulated.  Shelter life can be stressful and overwhelming for dogs, so these programs make sure that we are checking in with their needs every day! 

Our Foster & Humane Education programs allow our dogs to go out into the field, interact with the community and give them much needed time away from the shelter.  

But that's not all we do here.  Every program and every person play a significant role in making sure our dogs stay healthy, mentally and physically thriving.
