June is "Adopt a Shelter Cat Month!"

Because June is “Adopt a Shelter Cat” month, PAWSibilities®, Humane Society of Greater Akron is offering reduced adoption fees on all cats and kittens to approved applicants. Kittens under the age of six months will be $30, cats between the ages of six months and six years will be $20 and cats over the age of 6 years will be only $10. All animals are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, micro-chipped and include a 30 day free trial of pet insurance.

“In honor of our fabulous felines, we are offering reduced adoption fees to place these animals into their forever homes as quickly as possible. We see a dramatic increase in our feline population this time of year due to kitten season and right now we have approximately 180 cats and kittens in our care.” stated Kristin Branagan, Director of Behavior & Adoption Services.

Interested adopters may visit the shelter located at 7996 Darrow in Twinsburg during open hours which are Tuesday-Friday 1PM-7PM, Saturday 10AM-6PM and Sunday 12PM-5PM. You can visit www.summithumane.org for more information.

Abandoned Puppy Is Healthy, Ready For New Home Featured

She's healthy and ready to play. Cara, a deaf Jack Russell Terrier-mix puppy, was rescued after she was found inside a box alongside a busy highway in Brimfield. She's now healthy and ready to enjoy some time with a new family.

One of a Kind Pets in Akron have put Cara up for adoption. An ideal home for the puppy would be to be surrounded with other well-behaved dogs.

Cara received treatment for an upper respiratory infection and a hairline fracture in one of her front legs.

The OKPR Adoption Center, located at 1929 West Market Street, is open from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. To ask about Cara, or any of the other animals at OKPR, you can call 330-865-6200.

Summit County Missing Pet Network

Fiscal Officer Kristen M. Scalise CPA, CFE is introducing a new method to help pet owners find a lost or missing dog or cat by creating our new Missing Pet Network.

“If your dog is missing, a dog license tag attached to the collar of your pet is the best way of notifying you if someone finds your pet” Scalise stated.

You will be able to post a picture and information of when the pet was last seen on our website. All posts will remain on our site for 30 days.

If anyone finds a lost dog that is wearing a Summit County dog tag, they can visit Kristen’s Kanine Search to locate the owner.

Ohio law requires that you license your dog; a license tag attached to the dog’s collar proves ownership and is your pet’s ticket home. Dogs without tags can be impounded. 2012 dog licenses can be purchased beginning December 1 through January 31, 2012. Do the right things for your dog to keep him happy and safe.
