Temporary care without giving up a pet
Cleveland Animal Protective League’s Crisis Safety Net offers temporary foster care for Cuyahoga County pets when owners face circumstances such as hospitalisation, homelessness or domestic violence. The published arrangement lasts up to thirty days. Owners must be working with a case manager, linking the animal’s temporary care to support for the person’s wider situation.
A clinic with several eligibility routes
The Community Pet Clinic serves defined groups, including Cleveland and East Cleveland residents receiving financial assistance or facing barriers to veterinary care. Other routes include certain Cuyahoga County referrals, housing emergencies, APL adopters and neighbourhood-pass holders. These categories are broader than a single income test, but they do not mean unrestricted eligibility for every animal or appointment.
Following up after an APL adoption
The clinic’s published policy provides follow-up care for animals adopted from the APL without charge during the first fourteen days after adoption. Ordinary clinic fees apply after that period. Adopters should contact the clinic about their animal’s needs and appointment arrangements. This offers a defined early-care connection rather than a promise of free veterinary treatment throughout the animal’s life.
Second Chance for more complex medical cases
The Second Chance Program raises donations for shelter animals needing additional medical or surgical care. These may include injured, ill or special-needs animals and animals brought into care through humane investigations. The programme supports their treatment and recovery while they wait for a home, distinct from financial eligibility for an owned pet using the Community Pet Clinic.
Intake has a different route
Animal admissions require an appointment, and the current page restricts owner-surrender intake to Cuyahoga County. It also directs stray dogs to city or county kennels because the APL cannot accept them through this route. Contact the admissions team before travelling; a request for crisis fostering, a permanent surrender and a found dog each need the appropriate process.
