This month, area dental offices are collecting non-perishable pet food items and supplies to support area animal shelters. To find out which offices are participating or to make a donation, call Margie Carr at Dr. Gary Woznicki's office at 216-731-7555.

Apparently, humans aren't the only ones who are making donations to the pet food drive this month.

Taz, a former shelter dog, visited the Geauga County Dog Warden at 12513 Merritt Road in Chardon, with Carr, who is his owner. Deputy Wardens Cindy Sedivy and Andrea Ballas are part of the shelter staff.

Keifer

How sad. This dog was found as a stray by the Geauga County Dog Warden's office, and his owner never bothered to come in and claim him.


Keifer is a fun-loving young male lab.

He likes his kiddie pool, other dogs and people, shelter officials say.

For more information on Keifer, call the dog warden at 440-286-8135 or stop by at 12513 Merritt Road in Claridon Township.

The News-Herald features animals from area shelters and rescue groups that are in need of homes. If today's animal looks familiar, it's because he's been looking for a home for a while.

This is Dawson, a young hound mix available for adoption at the Geauga County Dog Warden shelter. If Dawson could talk, he would ask why a fully trained, well-mannered dog like him is still looking for a home after all these months.

He is up-to-date on shots and he even gets along with other dogs and cats.

Stop by the shelter at 12513 Merritt Road in Claridon Township, just outside of Chardon, or call 440-286-8135.
