Cleveland kennel takes in 50 dogs in 4 days, many abandoned and in ‘poor condition’
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – City Dogs confirmed the already full Cleveland kennel had taken in 50 dogs within four days, many of which were abandoned and in poor condition.
Amid this dire situation, City Dogs has a message: are numerous resources available to help for pet owners who are struggling financially!
City Dogs is the Cleveland Animal Care and Control’s adoption program.
“As a municipal agency, CACC cannot turn dogs away from the city, meaning we cannot just close to new intakes,” City Dogs Cleveland explained.
“Our shelter, just like animal shelters across the country, has been operating over capacity for a long time and we would much rather people access these resources for help rather than abandoning their pets and further overtaxing the system,” City Dogs stated. “But sometimes, people just might not know they’re out there.”
City Dogs shared the following photos and information on Mar. 11 on some of the worst cases they took on over the weekend:
WARNING: SOME OF THE PICTURES BELOW MAY BE DIFFICULT TO VIEW
Emaciated puppy
“This puppy was found filthy and emaciated. We never want to see animals in this condition. Fortunately, this puppy was pulled by our rescue partner Mutts in a Rut Rescue.”
Beignet

“Beignet was left tied to a hand rail at a local rec center,” City Dogs Cleveland said. “She was happily adopted.”
Sierra


“Sierra was left in an enclosed tennis court in a park,” City Dogs Cleveland said. “She is current looking for a home!”
Posey and Percey

“Posey and Percey were found together in a park, where one of our Animal Care and Control Officers guesses they were left together,” City Dogs Cleveland said. “They were sweet but quite fearful, and luckily our rescue partner FIDO’s Companion Rescue Inc. took them into their care.”
Bucket of puppies

“This bucket of puppies was left at the kennel. Our rescue partner Rescue Village pulled them,” City Dogs Cleveland said. “They’ll be up for adoption after receiving some vetting (and baths!)”
City Dogs Cleveland listed the below information on pet pantries and programs that may provide free and low-cost pet care in Northeast Ohio.
“There is absolutely no shame in reaching out during times of hardship,” City Dogs encouraged.
- Services: Pet food pantry, low-cost pet supplies, low-cost vaccinations and vetting, microchips, and more.
- Services: Pet food pantry, pet supplies, help with vet costs
- Services: Low-cost vet services with financial assistance available

Even if you aren’t able to adopt at this time, but still have some room in your home and heart, you can click here to learn about fostering a dog.
“It will save a life, but isn’t a lifelong commitment,” City Dogs Cleveland stated.
For those who are unable to adopt or foster at this time but still want to help, City Dogs Cleveland said the kennel is running very low on the dogs’ favorite chew toys, and donations are always greatly appreciated.
“Providing the dogs with in-kennel enrichment is so important when our facility is so full,” City Dogs Cleveland stated.
You don’t even have to go to the store or stop by the kennel to drop off your donations!
Just purchase these items from the City Dogs wish lists on Amazon or Chewy, and they will be automatically delivered to the kennel.

Third wave of No Kings Day protests take over northeast Ohio
CLEVELAND — Thousands of people braved the cold in downtown Cleveland for the third wave of “No Kings Day” demonstrations against the Trump administration.
This time, protestors said, the stakes are higher than ever.
Community members and activists joined at the Free Stamp in Willard Park and marched alongside Lakeside Avenue and around Cleveland Public Square on Saturday. Demonstrators said they’re rallying against the Trump administration’s escalation of federal immigration enforcement tactics and rocky global economy amid the country’s war with Iran.

U.S. Military Veteran Fidel Swain said he’s marching for the rights of all Americans.
“We’re really concerned with what’s going on in the country today as far as this current administration,” Swain said. “They all seem to not follow the principles and ideas of the working class and just most Americans, which is law, order.”
Northeast Ohio resident Charlotte Hartman also stood among the crowd of demonstrators. She said she attended the two previous No Kings Day protests in Strongsville.
Today, Hartman said, she’s standing in solidarity with all marginalized groups.

“The way he treats people and minorities, the way he treats handicapped people … They don’t seem to be any care or concern for anybody,” Hartman said.
Hartman was joined by Elaine Wheaton, who said she hopes the demonstration will help unite Americans, despite ideological differences.
“We’re hoping that some of the people that voted for Trump before might be changing their mind,” Wheaton said. “He’s getting a little too overboard … I have no problem with Republican presidents like Reagan or Bush or whatever, but it’s not that he’s Republican. It’s just that he’s a bad human.”
The White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson sent a statement to Spectrum News dismissing Saturday’s protest. She wrote, “The only people who care about these Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions are the reporters who are paid to cover them.”
The first No Kings Day protest in June included around 5 million participants, while the second event in the fall drew in around 7 million people.
While speaking about the No Kings Day protests in October, Trump told Fox business that he’s “not a king.”

‘No Kings’ protests planned Saturday across Northeast Ohio
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Protests against President Donald Trump’s administration are scheduled across the country Saturday, including in Northeast Ohio.
Events are happening around the region, with the largest turnout expected in downtown Cleveland.
Cindy Demsey, a co-organizer of the event, emphasized the rally’s purpose: “No Kings rallies in Cleveland and around the country demonstrate that We The People support an immediate end to foreign wars, ICE’s terror tactics, the administration’s unconstitutional power grab, covering up evidence of crimes against children and government for billionaires.”
The rally is set to begin at 1:00 PM at the Free Stamp next to City Hall on Lakeside Avenue and East 9th Street.
Back in October, thousands gathered downtown, and the events featured musical performances and various speakers before a march.
When a demonstration took place this past summer, Cleveland police estimated about 5,000 people were in attendance.

Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers Live Stream: How to Watch NBA
The Cleveland Cavaliers host the Miami Heat on Friday night, in the second game of a back-to-back between these Eastern Conference rivals.
The Miami Heat go for their 40th win of the season and the series victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road on Friday. This is the second game of a back-to-back for these teams, fighting for positioning in the Eastern Conference standings. Both of these games will be played in Cleveland, with the Heat pulling off the upset in Game 1 on Wednesday, winning 120-103. The win ended Miami’s five-game losing streak, and the loss ended the Cavaliers’ four-game winning streak. The win gave the Heat a 2-1 series lead, with Friday’s game serving as the finale. Miami is back in the eighth seed, but is only a half-game above the Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic. Cleveland is sitting comfortably in fourth place, but is three games back of the New York Knicks for third. The biggest name sitting out of this rematch is Jarrett Allen, who is dealing with a knee injury but is expected to return on Friday. The Cavaliers should be the favorite at home to tie this season series at two games apiece in this rematch.
