Patty is an old gal who probably gave her family years of unconditional love, in return she is now sitting in a shelter waiting to be euthanized. She was found wandering the streets and no one has come to claim her.
Patty’s time is up, if she doesn’t get a home immediately this beautiful girl won’t get a chance to live out her golden years.
This sweet old gal is sitting in an overcrowded and chaotic shelter, scared and confused as to how she got here. Patty came to the Humane Society of Greater Akron several weeks ago as a stray and no one has come looking for her. Now she sits, waiting to find what her future holds. This is where a kind hearted rescuer needs to step in!!! We need help for Patty!
She is a 10+ year old yellow lab and approx 65 lbs (she is not too thrilled we are revealing her weight to so many!!!!) She has been fully vaccinated, heartworm tested (negative), wormed, and up to date on flea and heartworm prevention. We do not believe her to be spayed. Due to moderate arthritis, she is on senior vitamins and joint supplements twice daily to help her feel better and move a little easier She also has some dental disease which may need future attention. Because her teeth are not the best, she is a huge fan of canned food…oh yes, and she also LOVES hotdogs as well!
This girl is low key as most of her days are filled with lounging around and getting plenty of beauty sleep. She is very fond of large fluffy dog beds/blankets and getting as much attention from humans as possible. Gets a little annoyed with other furry friends so this older gal would love to be spoiled and rule the roost as an only doggie! Her temperament with people is wonderfully loving.
It tears us apart to see her so scared and alone at our shelter. No one is adopting her and she deserves better than a noisy shelter kennel to live out the rest of her time on this earth. I am afraid she does not have much time left at our shelter before a decision may be made to euthanize her so WE MUST GET HER OUT ASAP!
Patty will be released to an approved and reputable rescue at no charge….we would just like to see her go somewhere safe that will give her a chance. A donation of wet food and a few extra comfy blankets will come with her of course!!! Any rescue interested, please contact me right away. Transport help is available.
Please call Shannon at 330-657-2010 ext 105 or email if you can help save Patty.

What a beautiful girl Patty is. If anyone out there would like to adopt her please contact Shannon right away, there is no time to waste.
Mom and dad are leaving for vacation tomorrow AM. Initially I was SUPER excited, but then I found out that they are going on vacation WITHOUT US! What's up with THAT?!
They are going to Michigan for the NASCAR race and they are camping at the track. THEY say that a NASCAR race is no place for an innocent little pupper! I say HOW DO THEY KNOW?! Have they ever taken us with them to a race before? NO! So how do they know that it isn't the place for us?
Oh well - we get to go to the dogsitter, Angie, house from tonite until Monday night! WOO HOO! She has DOGGIE DOORS! I get to spend my days finding each and every toy in the house and dragging it outside so that Angie has something to do when she gets home from work!! Aren't I just the most wonderful little helper?!
Shadow just spends the days going in and out of the doggie doors. I keep trying to get him to help me take the toys out - buy he won't go for it...he's such a little brown noser!!!
Talk to you all next week!
Mom helped with another transport today - SEVEN DOGS. This is becoming a pretty regular thing for her and she loves it! Her pawrents are even starting to get into it!
She doesn't get to know the dogs, or their stories very well, but on this particular transport they had a bit of a celebrity...an APBT named Grace. Mom got an email about her while ago, so she knew what the poor girl had gone through...
Grace was used as a breeder down south for quite some time - I'm not sure how long - and, after awhile, her 'owners' decided that they either wouldn't or couldn't breed her anymore. So, instead of bringing her into their home, or giving her to someone that would, they heartlessly tied her up with a rope around her neck with no food, and no water, and left her to die of starvation or dehydration - whichever came first.
Grace has come a long way since she was found, nearly dead. She is still underweight, has a horrible rash around her neck and her skin and coat is in horrible shape. However, she LOVES people - though I don't quite understand HOW - and other dogs. As someone else on mom's tranport said, she has a lot of hope in her eyes, you can see it. Somehow, this dog, that was treated so badly, still has FAITH in the human race - which is more than I can say for mom right now (present company excluded of coarse). She still wags her tail, and looks up at you with love - no matter how guarded - with love in her eyes. She is going to make someone a GREAT pet someday!
Mom came home and gave us LOTS and LOTS of loving when she got home from this one - more than usual! While she was hugging us, her cheeks got all wet and she said something to the effect of how lucky we were for never having to know the horrors that some other dogs are forced to know.
She asked me to tell you to tell your pawrents to give you some extra special lovin' every day in honor of Grace, and others like her. We sure are some special pups for having some really pawsome pawrents, aren't we?
Big labbie hugs and sloppy kisses -
Abby and Shadow
