Is anybody out there?

This is Cindy and she's been at Rescue Village over two months 😔
She can be unsure of new people and places at first, but quickly warms up. We recommend Cindy go to a home with older kids as she likes her toys and doesn't want to share them.

Cindy (along with Edward) was highlighted as part of NBC's Clear the Shelters campaign with Mike Polk from WKYC! Visit https://www.rescuevillage.org/nbcs-2025-clear-the-shelters-campaign to see this goofy girl ham it up for the camera.

Cindy's adoption fee, along with many of our other adoptable pets, has been paid for. Visit www.rescuevillage.org to view all of our adoptable animals. We are open Tues/Fri/Sat/Sun from 12-4pm and Wed/Thurs from 12-6:30pm.

❤Stop in today to fall in love!

Thanks to Mike Polk Jr. from WKYC Channel 3 - Cleveland for visiting Rescue Village for the Clear the Shelters Campaign. Edward the adoptable Pittie did a pretty good job taking this photo of Ken and Mike. Kidding of course, but Edward is pretty cool and is a good boy. Hope someone adopts him soon.
