Social Media Site Reunites Lost Dogs With Their Owners

As cold weather hit Cleveland last year, one neighborhood grew concerned for a pit bull that had been running around, abandoned.

“It was freezing, and you’re thinking, this poor dog — it’s obviously abandoned,” explained Simone Nielsen, who posted to Nextdoor Shaker Heights with her concerns.

The neighborhood rallied together to raise money for vet visits, coordinate walks, and find the pup a forever home.

“This is a way to get to know the people on your street or the people around the corner,” Nielsen said of Nextdoor.
