Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals

Mission: Animals Are Our Mission Growls and Howls Animal Rescue Inc. is a non-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) organization serving the greater Cleveland, Ohio region. We encourage the adoption of pets from shelters and rescue groups. We are dedicated to saving animals that have been left homeless, surrendered by their owners and that are being neglected or abused. It is our goal to provide them with the medical care they need in order to become healthy again, as well as help them overcome any obstacles they may face. With the help of well-educated fosters, we place animals into the homes of those who are just as passionate about animals as we are. There, they will continue to be spoiled by their foster parent(s) until they are placed into their permanent, loving home. All animals in our care are spayed or neutered, receive all appropriate medical care and treatment and are brought up to date on all vaccinations. It is our mission to continue to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home animals

Growls and Howls is such a great rescue to work with. Lauren always keeps the best interest of each animal in her heart as she navigates finding them their forever homes. My experience on the board has been nothing but positive as the communication is always clear and punctual for all matters that concern the other members. All in all I cannot recommend working with Growls and Howls enough and consider myself extremely fortunate to be involved with operations.

Growls and Howls Animal Rescue really cares for all the animals. They never give up on them. Even if the animal is in the rescue for 3 days or 350 days, they take the time to find the perfect forever home for each animal.

Lauren and the team at Growls and Howls are dedicated to their mission of rescuing and rehoming animals in need. The medical needs and well-being of the animals are always the first priorities, along with identifying and placing these animals with adequate foster families. I'm honored to support this organization as a board member!

Growls and Howls is a wonderful organization! The leadership is truly dedicated to ensuring the well being of the animals throughout the entire process. The staff understands the ins and outs of foster care and has a passion for their mission that is simply infectious. I highly recommend anyone reach out to these folks if you are looking to adopt, foster, or know of an animal that needs help.

This is a fantastic rescue. They are a fairly new rescue but have accomplished a lot in the short time that they have been active. They have helped pets that needed surgery and would not have been adopted if they had not gotten the surgery. They have found homes for animals that if they had been left at other rescues would have been put down. Congratulations Lauren Mowles and the rest of her team for the amazing work that you do.

My husband and I decided to work with Growls and Howls with fostering a dog. Our experience with the rescue was wonderful and we ended up deciding to adopt our sweet girl! Growls and Howls was there to answer all of our questions and help with anything we needed while we were fostering. We would definitely recommend working with Growls and Howls if you are interested in fostering or adopting and 4 legged friend!

Growls and Howls was amazing to work with. I fostered a kitten through them and they made the process super easy. They made sure I had whatever supplies I needed and also helped me set up vet appointments for times that worked the best with my schedule. I would definitely foster again through this rescue.

My 74yo grandmother had to put her dog down in July 2021. When she was ready to bring another one to love in her home, I immediately contacted Growls and Howels. We had very specific qualifications including rescue,breed preference, age, and temperament. It took a few months, but Lauren never gave up hope, and on February 10, 2022, we got a call saying she found the perfect fit for her home. We picked the dog up the next day, and it was love at first sight. My grandma couldn't be happier with her dog (name is to be determined), and I will absolutely tell EVERYONE who wants to add a furbaby to their home to talk to Lauren and her team. Thank you again, so much.

The absolute best pet rescue! Its obvious that the owner truly cares about the animals, while other rescues feel like all they care about is profit production for the business. Growls and Howl’s works tirelessly to make sure every animal is placed in a living and safe home.

Growls and Howls cares about animals! They truly want to rescue animals and give them the most loving homes. I adopted a kitten through them after fostering him and they were so easy to work with! Could not possibly recommend GAH more! Everyone should be involved with a local rescue. Especially one that cares so much.

I’ve been fostering a kitten for Growls and Howls and it’s been a treat! They truly care about the animals, want their fosters and potential adopters to feel comfortable and prepared, and they are so friendly! If you’re looking for a group that knows what they’re doing and want the best life for these animals, look no further!

This non profit goes above and beyond to make sure you know what kind of animal you will be receiving. Even if you live miles away this non profit works with your schedule to accommodate your needs to find that perfect howler or growler!

I can tell you from my experience that you have to act on meeting these wonderful pups! I waited too long to make a decision on one pup that already had multiple people wanting him.

All in all this nonprofit organization cares about your experience and follows up even after a let down :) communication is key in everything you do and I can say growls and howls nonprofit supports you every step of the way!

Growls and howls helped my parents find their perfect new friend after their other two of many years passed away. Rico was the perfect guy to fill the void in their heart. Growls and howls take such good care of these animals in such a anxiety ridden time and places them with the perfect match. The CEO Lauren really takes all of her time energy and love to make sure all animals in care are loved,taken care and in good health. Then makes sure that the potential new owners and pet are matches that work!
