ADOPTED - 10/16/26

URGENT FOR 10-16-26
***PET IS URGENT DUE TO SPACE. PET IS NOT GUARANTEED TIL 10-16-26.

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
DOG #323 KENNEL 17
"PIP SQUEEK"
FEMALE(SPAYED), WALKER C**N HOUND, 15 months
Previous owner stated pet is friendly with kids and other dogs. Pet is crate trained. Pet weighs 25

The City of Cleveland guidelines state that the CACD is only permitted to provide vetting for sick/injured pets on a STRAY hold and only until the pet’s legal stray hold period has been completed. We do not have a vet on our staff, so all sick/injured pets will have to be adopted/rescued by the date posted.

The CACD is a stressful environment that is not suitable for urgent animals to stay due to potential risk of their illness spreading to other adoptable pets that are portraying as healthy. We do not have access/funds to necessary medical supplies that is needed to provide them with proper care like a vet’s office would.

As per the City of Cleveland guidelines for an OWNER SURRENDERED pet, these pets do not receive any vaccinations/vet treatment upon intake, because the owner is surrendering them to our CACD as is.

Again, the CACD does not have a Vet on staff and cannot provide treatment for OWNER SURRENDERED pets. We highly urge pet owners to use the CACD as a last resort option for placing your pet. Please keep in mind, while you are trying to rehome your one pet, the CACD is trying to find 1,500 or more a home.

The CACD has limited space as well as funds which causes us to operate within the parameters that are set in place.

ALL PETS LISTED AS URGENT MUST BE ADOPTED/RESCUED BY THE DATE THEY ARE POSTED FOR!
The current status of an animal will be shown in the photo description.

Questions about the animals will not be answered by animal control staff via Facebook/comments. For questions, you may contact Animal Control directly at 423-559-3333 or come by during business hours MON-FRI 12-5pm SAT 10am-12pm.

All adoption fees are $50.00 and includes spay/neuter, first set of shots, deworming, and rabies vaccination(if pet is over 12 weeks of age).
Adoptions are first come, first serve - No exceptions.

They were trained to find people alive.

But after 9/11, these dogs kept searching even when there was almost no one left to find 💔

More than 300 specially trained search and rescue dogs worked through the wreckage at Ground Zero in the days following the attacks.

They climbed through twisted steel, broken concrete, hot glass and dust, searching for survivors alongside their handlers.

And one of those dogs found the last living person rescued from Ground Zero, 27 hours after the towers collapsed.

But as the days went on, the dogs began finding fewer and fewer people alive.

The dogs were also getting hurt.

Veterinarians and medical teams worked 12-hour shifts treating cuts and burns on their paws, flushing dust and debris from their eyes and treating respiratory irritation from the conditions at Ground Zero.

And they weren’t only searching.

These dogs also became a source of comfort for the first responders around them.

Firefighters and rescue workers would stop to pet them, play with them and take a brief break from the devastation surrounding them.

One of those dogs was Bretagne, a Golden Retriever who worked with Texas Task Force 1.

She later responded to Hurricane Katrina and other disasters before retiring and helping train another generation of search dogs.

Bretagne died on June 6, 2016, at 16 years old.

She was the last known surviving search dog who responded to Ground Zero.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the people who were lost on September 11.

We remember the first responders who ran toward the danger.

And we remember the four-legged responders who searched through the wreckage, one paw at a time. 🇺🇸🐾

Looking for a few extra paws around the homestead? We have several adoptable barn and porch cats ready to find their new families!

These kitties have already gotten the important stuff taken care of:
Spayed/neutered
Vaccinated
Up-to-date on flea prevention
Ready for their next chapter!

Our kitties are playful, curious, but a little skittish. They may need some patience and time to warm up, but with a safe space and a little love, they can become wonderful companions around your property.

Perfect for:
• Barns & farms
• Workshops & garages
• Porches & outbuildings
• Rural homes looking for a few feline friends

If you have a safe outdoor space and are looking for a working cat (or two!), send us a message on Facebook or stop by to meet them!

Please remember: these cats still need daily food, fresh water, shelter, and appropriate veterinary care in their new homes.

Give a deserving kitty a safe place to call home!
