Interested in adopting a pet — or just gazing at some delightful doggies up for adoption? There are dozens of great dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Cleveland.

Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)

From Lilly's current caretaker:

Lilly is approximately two years old and 10 pounds. She has short spurs of energy and loves to hide under her fleece blanket or sleep in the sun. She only barks to engage in play. Lily loves to snuggle and give kisses. She is dog-friendly and, most likely, cat- and kid-friendly.

Here's what Charlie's friends at Pack Pride Sanctuary think of him:

Charlie was rescued from a really bad situation; he was covered in fleas; his coat was stained in urine and he had no manners. He was taken in and given the best life ever. Charlie now knows all of his commands and walks well on a leash. He's intelligent and learns very fast, especially when it comes to fun tricks. Charlie is a happy-go-lucky little boy who just wants to cuddle and kiss you. He loves kids and adults and is obsessed with playing fetch.

From Joyce's current caretaker:

Joyce is a sweet, sensitive girl who seems determined to be brave. While a little unsure about the hustle and bustle of the kennel so far, she has little bursts of energy and exuberance when out with volunteers. She is very people-oriented and has a loving, attentive disposition. Joyce has also been fine with other dogs in our play groups.

Mack is handsome and oozes charisma and confidence. He has a get-up-and-go attitude and is ready to take on the world by your side. He has a happy, curious outlook, which suggests he would be game for all sorts of adventures. Mack does already have some manners under his belt. We have noticed that he seems to work very hard to only do his business outside, and he already knows how to sit on command.

Ellie, terrier and pit bull terrier mix

Ellie is an adorable female terrier and pit bull terrier mix currently housed at Cleveland Animal Care and Control.

Ellie is already house-trained. She is spayed, and she has had all her shots. Ellie is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.

Ellie's current caretakers say:

Ellie would love for you to rub her jelly belly! This low-key rider is all about love. She is incredibly sweet and basks in any attention she receives. Ellie is on the calm side and very affectionate; she loves to give hugs and kisses. Ellie also knows how to sit and takes treats gently. Unfortunately, Ellie arrived at the kennel heart-worm positive, but the good news is that this is a treatable disease, and the kennel covers the cost of treatment. Ellie just needs to find the right home where she can be kept on a rest period for a while so she can recover before getting back to normal life, which means extra time for snuggles.
