"The Animals' Savior"

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter ... the cast-offs of human society.

I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.

And I was angry.

"God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?"

God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly.

"I have done something," He replied.

"I created You."

Heaven Can Wait has three kittens available for adoption! They are approximately 14 weeks old, have been spayed/neutered, tested negative for leukemia, and have received their vaccinations. Their adoption fee is only $60.00, which helps pay for their vetting. Would you like to give one of these sweeties a home? Then just click on it's photo to be taken to our online pre-adoption application. What are you waiting for? Apply!

Cage after empty cage, following the very successful Summit County Animal Control Adoptathon on July 24, 2010. Here are a few of the many empty cages that once held dogs facing certain euthanasia if not adopted. MORE EVENT PHOTOS	This dog, once caged over 23 hours a day, was adopted. Now "Sundae" is in a loving forever home, where she will be happy, and loved, especially by Kayleigh.	Pictured above is Summit County Executive Russ Pry and Heaven Can Wait Director, Pat Mihaly. Thanks to Mr. Pry for making this adoptathon happen and saving so many lives!

Heaven Can Wait is in need of dog foster homes. All dogs are totally vetted. We supply the leash, collar, necessary supplies, and food. You supply the love! Just fill out our online Pre-Adoption Application and put "foster" in where the dogs name is. Why? Alot of fosters end up adopting the dog they are fostering. This would streamline the adoption should you decide to give the dog a forever home!

We are also seeking dedicated Volunteers! Especially needed are Event Volunteers, where Heaven Can Wait is at a community event, where we have a table and usually show some available dogs! Contact: outreach@heaven-can-wait.com if you are interested in volunteering!

Hayley and Jordana visited the Heaven Can Wait House, bringing much needed donations for Heaven Can Wait. These two precious girls also went door to door in their neighborhood, collecting money for the rescued animals of Heaven Can Wait. Truly, these two are Angels!

Seen here are the girls holding Nelson, one of the many cats rescued from the Summit County Animal Control Facility.

A big thank you to Hayley and Jordana.

Rover and MacDonald

These precious seniors were not made available to the public for adoption because Summit Animal Control considered them too old. Heaven Can Wait didn't think so, and others didn't think so either.
