SUMMIT COUNTY, OHIO—It’s official, the cats and dogs at the Summit County Dawg Pound (Animal Control) are wacko for Flacco! In honor of the Browns’ playoff run and quarterback Joe Flacco’s “couch to comeback” story, Animal Control is offering reduced adoption fees beginning tomorrow, January 10 and ending Super Bowl Sunday (February 11).
During the adoption event, costs are reduced to $15 for dogs (regularly $94) and $15 for cats (regularly $60). The animals are fully vetted (includes bloodwork, flea treatments, intestinal de-worming, spay or neuter, and vaccinations), microchipped and ready to be taken home. Those who adopt a dog will also be required to purchase a 2024 Summit County Dog License for $18.
Residents can call 330-643-2845 to schedule an appointment or visit the facility during business hours. Residents can browse adorable pictures of our furry friends on social media. And remember, if you have a lost dog or cat, don’t forget to check Animal Control. And if you need cat food or litter, dog food, or treats, Animal Control hosts a monthly pet food giveaway on the last Tuesday of each month from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Go Browns!
