The great thing about this blog is I can get photos out there of animals that need homes.

So take a look at Autumn, a female black-lab mix that is available for adoption at the Geauga County Dog Shelter at 12513 Merritt Road, Claridon Township, which is near Chardon for all you Lake County folks.

According to shelter officials, Autumn sat at the shelter for months and is now with a trainer.

She has plenty of house manners and now just needs a real home.

The dog shelter is open from 5 to 8 p.m. Mondays, 3 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

For more details, give the shelter a call at (440) 286-8135.
