WONDERFUL NEWS!! Kash was adopted today!! 🙌 🎉

Kash is STILL looking for his forever home. This handsome 6-year-old boy has been at the Lakewood Animal Shelter for over 60 days now. He has a lot of love to give and deserves to be loved in return! Kash’s favorite thing in the world is his orange ball, which he'll be sure to bring with him to his new home.

Please share Kash with your friends. We hope this reaches his future mom/dad/family.y

Highly Requested Update on Our Sweet Senior Boy 💛🐾

Yesterday, we welcomed a very special geriatric cat into our care. He was immediately taken to the vet, where he received much-needed medical attention, including medication and treatment for an infection. He is severely emaciated and clearly has been through a lot—but we’re already seeing signs of hope.

Today, we’re happy to share that he has perked up! His resilience is truly heartwarming, and we’re optimistic about his recovery.

We are currently in the midst of a 72-hour hold to allow time for a possible owner to come forward. After that, we will be looking for a compassionate, experienced long-term foster to help him continue his rehabilitation in a loving home environment.

If you’re interested in fostering this sweet soul and helping him heal, please give us a call at (216) 529-5020! Your support could mean the world to him. 💛

🐾 Microchip Your Pet at Lakewood Animal Shelter! 🐾

To help keep your furry friends safe, Lakewood Animal Shelter is offering microchipping through HomeAgain Pet Recovery for just $20.00! This service is available to Lakewood residents only.

📅 Open 7 days a week
⏰ 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
📍 Call ahead to check availability!

💡 What to Bring:
✔ A valid ID as proof of residency
✔ Your pet 🐶🐱
✔ Form of payment (Cash or credit card)

🐶 Dogs & Microchips
52.2% of microchipped dogs are reunited with their owners, compared to only 21.9% of non-microchipped dogs.

Microchipped dogs are 2.5 times more likely to be returned home than those without a chip.

When a dog has a microchip with up-to-date contact information, the return-to-owner rate jumps to 75% or higher!

🐱 Cats & Microchips
Only 1.8% of lost cats without a microchip are returned home.

With a microchip, 38.5% of lost cats are reunited with their owners—over 20 times more than those without a chip!

Cats with microchips are more likely to be reclaimed, even years after going missing.

A HomeAgain microchip is your pet's permanent ID. A pet microchip -- the size of a grain of rice -- goes beneath your pet's skin. Unlike a collar, this permanent ID can't fall off or become impossible to read. HomeAgain uses this ID to contact you and reunite you with your pet.

Let’s keep our pets safe and together where they belong! 💙
