Chico
Chico was surrendered to the Humane Society of Summit County when his health became too overwhelming for his previous owner to manage. Our veterinary team removed a large mass from his leg and did dental work. Once he was healthy, Chico found his forever home!
Here's what his forever family had to say about him:
Chico is working out nicely here. He takes over my bed and he is a great friend.
Aleric
Aleric was found as an emaciated stray by a Good Samaritan. Our veterinary team treated his skin infection and put him on a proper diet before he quickly found his forever home!
Here's what his forever family had to say about him:
We adopted Scooter (formerly named by the HSSC as Aleric), in August 2016. I became a business owner shortly thereafter and my sweet Scooter first became a “light construction” dog during our updating of the gallery and then officially a “Shop Dog,” greeting all our customers and being featured in our print and social media for the ...
Confetti
Confetti, now known as Tina, was brought to the Humane Society of Summit County by a Good Samaritan. Our veterinary team fixed her right up and with no trouble at all, she found her forever home!
Here's what her forever family had to say about her:
I adopted her when she was around one and a half, she just turned 9. I wanted to thank you again for rescuing her. She is a joy and has been a great comfort to me, especially during these difficult times. We are happily living the quiet life in Akron. Thank you again!
Finn and Fergie
Finn and Fergie, now known as Ray and Ren, were both found as kittens that were too young to be without their mothers. Both kittens were put with foster families while they grew and gained strength and quickly found their forever home together!
Here's what their forever family had to say about them:
They have settled in wonderfully and are still the perfect pair. They cuddle and play together all day long. I couldn’t be happier to have adopted them. Thank you for all your help with this process and helping me find the best kittens.
Dexter
Dexter came to the Humane Society of Summit County after what was likely a harrowing event that left him with bite marks on his face. While treating his wounds, our veterinary team also diagnosed him with heartworm. After nearly a year in the shelter and a foster home, Dexter received a clean bill of health and was ready to be adopted!
Here's what his forever family had to say about him:
We rescued Dexter in 2020 and he’s been such a great addition to our little family. He’s truly the most gentle, quiet and relaxed boy I ...
Cooper
Cooper, now known as Finnegan, was surrendered to the Humane Society of Summit County when his health became overwhelming for his previous owner. Cooper was treated for intestinal parasites and put on a diet to manage his weight and he found a forever home in no time!
Here's what his forever family had to say about him:
He has settled in nicely with his sister Josie. He even landed a spot in her senior pics and our holiday card! He now lives peacefully with two cats, loves our long walks and the other dogs in the ‘hood, at daycamp ...
Rosie Posie
Rosie Posie was rescued by a Good Samaritan who noticed she was not in good health living as a stray. Our veterinary team diagnosed Rosie Posie with heartworm disease and quickly began her treatment. Rosie Posie was a perfect candidate for a foster home and we were able to quickly place her with a family who could give her the undivided attention and care that she needed to recover from heartworm disease.
Here's what her forever family had to say about her:
We took in Rosie Posie as a foster as she recovered from her heartworm, spay, and ...
Cifer
Cifer was found abandoned in a barn by a Good Samaritan who then brought the three kittens to the Humane Society of Summit County. Cifer and his littermates were so tiny that they were set up with a foster family who provided them bottlefeeding and round-the-clock care. Once he was big enough to make it on his own, Cifer quickly found his forever family!
Here's what his forever family had to say about him:
He has been a wonderful addition to our adoptive kitten family! He has grown so much since January 2019 and he loves to cuddle with ...
Haze
Haze, now known as Togo, was rescued by our Humane Officers after being abandoned on a property. Togo quickly won over a new forever family though!
Here's what his forever family had to say about him:
Togo is doing great! He loves his walks and we usually do about 2 miles every day. He enjoys playing fetch and trying to be a lap dog. He loved when we got a little snow and we are so excited to let him play this winter. Togo has been a great addition to our family! We love him and his silly personality ...
Phineas
Phineas was brought to our shelter by a landlord who found him and another cat abandoned in a unit after the tenants had moved out. Thankfully for Phineas and his cat friend, Ferb, they found new forever homes in no time at all!
Here's what Phineas' forever family had to say about him:
Phineas settled right in. Two hours after we got home, he was sleeping on my lap. He enjoys playing with his catnip toy (his baby), watching birds, getting petted, waking me up at 4 AM and sleeping wherever he pleases.
