Checkers, a 15-pound sweetheart, was found braving the cold in South Akron and is now safe at Summit County Animal Control. He’s not just another face at the shelter—he’s a new arrival with a gentle, lap-loving personality. If his family doesn’t claim him soon, he’ll be ready for adoption in just 72 hours. Local group Pay It Forward For Pets is working hard to find him a forever home. If you’ve ever thought about adopting, now’s the perfect time to meet Checkers and make a difference! Would you open your home to a rescue like him? #Pets #AdoptDontShop #AkronPets
