Northeast Ohio's Volunteer-Powered Rescue

Founded in 1999, Parma Animal Shelter began as a grassroots effort to provide compassionate care for local strays. We quickly evolved into a foster-first network, believing every pet deserves a loving home environment, not a kennel, while awaiting adoption.

This model ensures personalized attention, medical support, and a smooth transition to forever homes. Our dedicated volunteers and foster families are the heart of this transformative approach.

Every Pet Deserves a Second Chance

We are committed to non-euthanasia care, providing comprehensive veterinary support, spay/neuter services, and community education to ensure the well-being of every animal in our care. Our mission extends beyond adoption, fostering a compassionate community where pets thrive.
