Hi Furriends, It’s hard to believe that this is my final letter to you as the Unleash the Dream Campaign Spokesdog, but if I do say so myself, I think I did a great job keeping you up to date with the construction project. Since my first story, a lot of things changed—construction, a pandemic, supply chain delays, and so …

June 2022

Dear Fur-riends, I can see the finish line! For two years (that’s 14 years in my world), I’ve been giving quarterly updates on the progress of the Unleash the Dream Capital Campaign. It was hard for me to imagine getting to this point when I first started writing this column. So much has changed for the Cleveland APL, and I’ve …

Dear Fur-iends, In a perfect world, this would have been my last letter to you as the Spokesdog for the Cleveland APL’s Unleash the Dream Capital Campaign, but the humans keep saying this phrase “global supply chain shortage” which has made everything move a little slower. I don’t really get what that means, but they’ve said it so much that …

Dear Fur-iends, I can’t believe that we’re in the home stretch for the Unleash the Dream Capital Campaign! When I last wrote to you, I told you about the new behind the scenes grooming room and dog isolation area. Now,  construction has started to improve areas that our Cleveland APL’s visitors see, and just in time for the Adoptions team …

Dear Fur-iends, Every day at the Cleveland APL is different, not just because of all of the amazing programs and services they provide, but also because of the new areas that are opening as construction is completed! Two of those very important areas are the groom room and a dog isolation area. For pet parents, grooming is a basic part …

Dear Fur-iends, A lot has changed at the Cleveland APL since my last column in Pet Patter—the biggest change is the completion of the Animal Resource Center Lobby. This new, fancy part of the building is home to the several very important departments: Animal Admissions, Foster, the Animal Welfare Clinic, TNR, and project CARE. That’s a lot in one area! …

March 2021

Dear Fur-iends, When I came to the Cleveland APL in 2017, I really needed help. I had been hit by a car and then beaten with bricks and sticks by some not very nice people. But the kind people at the Cleveland APL wanted to help me—even with their “not the best” working space. At the APL I got great …

December 2020

This year has certainly brought many new challenges and changes for everyone, but today we’re happy to share some VERY good news. Finally, something has gone according to plan – for the most part! Our construction team has officially completed and turned over Phase Two of our critical, five-phase Unleash the Dream facility renovations. Our eager team started moving in …

September 2020

Hi everyone, Indy here! I hope you are all remembering to wash your (human) paws for at least 20 seconds and to wear your mask when you go outside! It is very “im-paw-tant” that you do those things to keep everyone healthy! The last time I wrote to you, the nice folks working on the Cleveland APL’s expansion project had to …
