Adopting in Akron, OH

Akron's hilly terrain and Cuyahoga Valley setting make it a surprisingly scenic city for pet adoption. The Rubber City's shelters and rescue organizations have many animals looking for loving homes in this community that sits at the edge of one of Ohio's most beautiful national parks.

With Cuyahoga Valley National Park just minutes from downtown, the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail, and Summit Metro Parks, Akron offers adopted pets access to some of the best outdoor recreation in the Midwest.
