LORAIN, Ohio -- A man broke into the Animal House Adoption Center on North Ridge Road and took the cash register.
The nonprofit Ohio Pet Placement Foundation runs Animal House.
The burglary occurred at 2:40 a.m. Saturday, director Crystal Luli said.
The man shattered the window in a rear door, triggering an audible alarm, walked straight to the cash register and ripped it off the counter, she said.
He was wearing gloves, but left a hammer and screwdriver behind, she said.
He was in and out in about 30 seconds and ran into woods behind the shelter, Luli said.
The group posted video of the damage on youtube.com. Repairs will cost about $1,500, Luli said, but she hasn't been able to determine yet how much money was in the register.
The group and the owner of the building have insurance.
Anyone with information on the burglary is asked to call Lorain police, 440-204-2100.
The group fundraises with its first Painted Paws Art Show from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3, at Animal House, 2555 North Ridge Road East.
Dogs, cats, a rabbit and a turtle, assisted by Lorain High School students, created artworks by walking through paint globs on paper.
See some of the paintings at ohiopetplacement.org/gallery.html. Tickets are $15 each or $25 for a couple and include hors d'oeuvres, beer and wine; call 440-277-7400.
