100 dogs still waiting for homes

CHAMPION

The Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County is making its temporary shelter at 186 Cleveland Avenue West open to the public from noon to 4 p.m. 7 days a week for pet adoptions.

Of the 162 dogs rescued from the Humane Sanctuary in Gustavus Township recently, 100 are still waiting for homes there. Adoption fee is $65. For more information or directions call (330) 394-3512 or (330) 399-2086.

The facility is located in the back of a commercial building on the west side of Mahoning Avenue at Cleveland Avenue.

Barbara Busko, Animal Welfare League president, says it is important to note that some of the dogs are going to need extra patience from their new masters to adapt to a new home.

Many were kept in cages in Gustavus Township and are not house broken, and many are learning or re-learning how to walk on a leash.
