South Euclid Humane Society

 

 


TED		  

Although he was rescued by South Euclid Humane Society, Ted’s life truly began when he met Sandy. For Ted and Sandy, there was an immediate connection that grew and endured. Ted and Sandy were light-years ahead of “pet and owner;” they were soul mates. It was simply meant to be.

To say that Ted lived a full life in his 3 short years with Sandy is an understatement. What other dog can say his photo appeared in the society pages of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, or that kids used him as a pillow during story time at Visible Voice Books? And how many dogs have been regulars at Lucky’s for brunch, or champion peanut butter cookie eaters at Civilization?

 

Ted had a perfect combination of goofiness and quiet dignity that won over everyone he met. The two were a familiar fixture in their Tremont neighborhood, where Ted’s impressive stature regularly amazed passers-by, who were then even more astounded to be kissed in the face by this sweet, gentle boy. Who knows how many minds he changed and hearts he won. He certainly won the hearts of all of us.

Sandy saw Ted through heart worm, leukemia and, finally, lymphoma. On February 18, Ted left this earth as we all hope to—peacefully, and in the arms of the person who loved him most. What a life he had! He will be missed and remembered by us all.

“Ted's heart was as big as his head, and he made friends with every single person he met. He won the hearts of literally hundreds of people who were afraid of pitbulls until they met him, and one of his greatest accomplishments in life was passing his Canine Good Citizen test and serving as a breed ambassador for pitbulls. He loved life and got such enjoyment out of every second of every day that you couldn't help smiling when you saw him. He was a beautiful, graceful, loving dog, and he will be missed by everyone who knew him. I am so grateful to have known him and to know that he loved me. He lived a good life and he died with dignity.”

The Greatness of a Nation and its moral progress can be
 judged by the way its animals are treated. 
Mohandas Ghandi (1869 - 1948)

Animals contribute great joy and beauty to our world, yet many of these wonderful creatures are dependent on humans for their continued well-being. To care for these animals in our local community, South Euclid Humane Society was founded in March. 2000.

 

The South Euclid Humane Society is a not-for-profit volunteer organization dedicated ,
to finding homes and providing the proper care of homeless, abandoned, injured and sick animals.

We recognize the value of each animal's life, and therefore will not euthanize any animal unless determined by a veterinarian to be the most merciful treatment.

 Our Mission:

 To prevent homeless pets in South Euclid and surrounding communities through spay/neuter, education and adoption.

 

What We Do:

 

The volunteers of the South Euclid Humane Society are committed to finding the most
suitable match for available pets with prospective owners. We require every adoptive pet owner to sign our adoption agreement promising the best possible care of the animal and the return of the animal to South Euclid Society should problems occur after adoption. The adopted animals are spayed/neutered prior to adoption unless the animals are too young.

Animals availab1e for adoption can be met at Pet Supplies Plus the first and third
Sunday of each month from 12:30pm - 5pm at the Lyndhurst location on Mayfield Road. If you are interested in adapting a cat, dog, or bunny, please visit us and meet these wonderful animals. Please support our friends at Pet Supplies Plus and thank them for helping their local community.

We also encourage residents to join our foster care program and offer temporary homes to homeless animals until forever homes can be found. If you are interested in
fostering an animal, please contact us. We pay all medical expenses and provide food and litter. Initial immunizations are given to our fostered dogs and cats.

 

Funding & Community Events:
Donations are requested from each adoptive pet owner to help defray our costs during the adoption process.

Annual Membership Dues from volunteer members who support our mission.

All donations are appreciated. We accept cash donations as well as pet food and supplies.

 

The South Euclid Humane Society is involved in local community events:

 

    Memorial Day Parade

    South Euclid Fun Day

    Lyndhurst Home Days

    Annual Garage Sale - First Saturday in August

    Spay & Neuter Mash Mobile Units

    Pets Light Up Our Lives Dedication in December

 

 

Cuyahoga County has a serious problem - an overpopulation of pets. Did you know that during a few hours in the United States, 415 humans will be born, and as many as 10,000 dogs and cats. As you can see by the numbers, there will never be enough homes for all of these animals.

 

With the proceeds from direct donations & fundraisers we organize spay/neuter programs for pets of South Euclid residents. In addition, the South Euclid Humane Society's volunteers spend time controlling the feral cat population using a strategy of trap, neuter, release.

 

The South Euclid Humane Society is always looking for volunteers. Please, if you love and care about animals, consider donating some of your time and love for those animals less fortunate than your own.
