Please Consider Becoming A Foster! Click Here
Fosters are the foundation upon which our organization is built. The more foster homes we have, the more animals we can save.
Our success directly correlates with the quality of our foster homes and the experiences our rescue dogs are exposed to during the transition from rescue to forever home.
We are able to recognize each and every dog's needs based on feedback from the fosters and as a result can compatibly match dogs with adopters.
Our success rate is high based on the dedication, determination, diligence, and love provided by our foster volunteers.
Anyone with the time and patience who wishes to reap immeasurable rewards and learn life lessons that can only be taught by a dog that has been given a second chance should consider becoming a foster! - Jill Schubert

| How to Adopt a Friend: |
|---|
|
Love-A-Stray members across Northern Ohio take in and rescue homeless cats, kittens, puppies, and dogs and prepare them for adoption into loving permanent homes. Our web team volunteers are always working and updating information about animals in our foster homes who need permanent homes. Love-A-Stray is a non-profit all volunteer rescue group. Most of our volunteers also have full time jobs in addition to their volunteer work, so we do the best we can to answer all inquires. When we first hear from you, we will ask you some basic questions. You'll tell us who you are, where you live, what you know and don't know about the particular species of animal you are interested in, and whether you already have other pets. If you are interested in adopting a puppy or dog, we will ask you to complete an adoption application to ensure we can find your perfect match. Applications can be requested by emailing the volunteer listed for the puppy or dog you are interested in. The Love-A-Stray volunteer can provide the best information about the pet. Please do not ask us to ship our animals out of state. WE DO NOT SHIP! We require adopters to fill out an adoption form and agree to the terms of our adoption contract. All pets are either spay/neutered or come with a certificate for a no cost spay/neuter. Young animals have their first shots and have been wormed. Our adoption fee just covers our expenses to provide the necessary spay/neuter and vaccinations for the animal.
We show many of our potential adoptees at local Petsmart locations. Please view our upcoming adoption events referenced in our option menu.
