Meet Aria and Loki (and their puppies!)
The Puppies!
No names yet until they find homes!
Age: Born 5/1/14
Breed: Samoyed
Meet Chance!
Breed: Pitbull Mix
Age: 1 year old
About Chance (from his foster): He knows sit, down, stay and heel all by hand signal. He can play for hours, but also knows how to snuggle up. Seems to be quite the ladies man. I would suggest a cat free home and no small children. He’s not aggressive at all but jumps and play nips. I would be too afraid he’s too strong and a bit too puppy-ish for little ones. Oh, and … He is a kisser! Anytime he can sneak a kiss in, he will.
If you’re interested in Chance, contact Jessie at 440-334-0917.

Meet Stewart!
Full name: Stewart
Nicknames: “Tiny” or “The Tiniest Stewart.”
Age: 2 and a half
Breed: Probably American Bulldog/Lab mix
Hometown: Olmsted Falls
Hobbies: Stewart’s favorite activity is running the bridle trails in the Metroparks (Mill Stream
Run is a particular favorite). When he can’t get to the Metroparks, he enjoys
running through his neighborhood and making human and canine friends along the way.
He very much enjoys strangers telling him how cute his ears are. Lucky for him, it happens
often! As you can see from his picture, Stewart’s favorite place in the house is on the steps,
where he can relax, chew a bone and monitor the goings-on of the neighborhood.

Meet Lady!
From Lake Humane Society: Lady is a 4-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix. She was surrendered to LHS because her previous owner had too many pets and couldn’t care for her. She is very active and would require lots of walks and exercise. Lady LOVES playing fetch with her tennis ball. She never gets sick of chasing after it! Lady would love a fenced in yard where she can chase after her ball and play with her family.

His hobbies include trying to woo someone into giving him a permanent, loving home, but he will also settle for a temporary one. He’s up for adoption or fostering through Muttley Crue Rescue. Other than that, he enjoys his training classes, cuddling with people and canines alike, and being an adorable little puppy who’s getting his second chance at life!

You may remember Buford the Basset Hound as the first CLE Canine of the Week, as well as from his tour of CLE. This week we check in to see what Cleveland’s favorite basset hound has been up to lately.
It’s been a busy start to 2014 for Buford, a nine-year-old basset hound from greater Cleveland. When he’s not busy watching the Puppy Bowl or Westminster Dog Show, or chasing the wild turkeys out of his yard, he’s been enjoying minor celebrity status for his recently-created Instagram account, @hound_town. Buford took time out of his “busy” schedule to sit down with Dogs in the CLE to discuss all things hound dog.
Dogs in the CLE: Buford, thanks for joining us. Your agent told us you were booked solid until May, so we really appreciate you clearing your schedule in order to sniff the breeze with us. Why don’t you start by telling us about the wild turkeys who invaded your yard?
Buford: First off, thanks for having me. I had to push back my morning nap in order to be here, but it’s worth it to have the opportunity to share my story. The wild turkeys have been a thorn in my tri-colored side. They’ve been visiting my yard daily this winter, eating the birdseed that I’m almost certain Mom puts out for me. Unfortunately, since my ears are much less flight-inducing than they look, I haven’t been able to catch the turkeys when they fly away. But make no mistake – I intend to provide Thanksgiving dinner this year.
Dogs in the CLE: This winter weather has afforded you numerous opportunities to snow hike…and yet, more often than not, your laziness prevails and you opt to veg at home. What gives?
Buford: I’ve stuck my nose in the snow a few times this winter, most notably when I hiked The Ledges within the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. But yes, I’m a lazy old man most of the time. And that’s the way I like it. I’ve been a bit of a couch potato lately…I enjoyed watching the Puppy Bowl, and especially the Westminster Dog Show, though I question how the judges could have possibly scored the bloodhound higher than the basset.
Dogs in the CLE: And finally, tell us about your social media stardom.
Buford: Well, I’ve been dabbling with social media for quite some time now, but I’ve really hit my stride with @hound_town. I’ve made lots of friends on there like @watsonhound, @allearsdownhere and @frankiethebasset. I still haven’t overcome my fear of vacuum cleaners, much less learned how to operate a smartphone, but I’m told I’m fairly photogenic, so I guess that must count for something.
This post was contributed by Matt Bixenstine, Buford’s faithful sidekick.
I may not love the snow, but I have someone in my house that does. Hunter heard that people were complaining about this winter, saying it was one of the worst ever, so he wanted to share some of his favorite things about the snow. I don’t know about you, but I think he makes a pretty compelling argument.

Meet Odin!
Breed: Terrier, Pit Bull Mix
Age: 7 years
Sex: Male
Home: Lake Humane Society
About Odin: Odin has been with the Lake Humane Society since September. Odin is a recipient of The Angel Fund, a donation-supported fund to provide veterinary care to animals in need. They’ve determined Odin has Color Dilution Alopecia and he is currently on medication. LHS describes Odin as a sweetheart and who just wants companionship. They say he is a good candidate for a foster since a home environment would be good while he’s on medication and healing.
