Hero: Geauga County
Dog Warden
Matt Granito
Breaking boundaries to help the animals
On
November 18, the Geauga County Dog Warden hosted a PetFix Clinic
where our team altered 14 dogs and 12 cats - yes, cats!
As a dog warden in Ohio, Matt is mandated to care for dogs
- period. He could easily turn a blind eye to the burgeoning
cat population in his rural county. Instead, he and Deputy
Dog Warden Cindy Sedivy host two clinics each month for cats,
as well as dogs, whose owners or caregivers cannot afford full
fees. After scheduling one cat at a clinic in February, they
found themselves inundated with requests. Now the cats sometimes
outnumber the dogs.
