The Cincinnati Animal CARE Humane Society is looking for caring pet parents and welcoming homes to foster or adopt dogs in need.
Cincinnati Animal CARE assumed operations of the Hamilton County shelter in Northside previously overseen by the SPCA on Aug. 1 and is currently at capacity. Shelter officials are hopeful that Cincinnatians can aid the overcrowded shelter in providing these rescue dogs with loving homes.
“It’s our belief that the shelter is the last resort for a homeless animal,” says Meaghan Colville, director of lifesaving operations. “No-kill is a community ethic and we need community support to make room for the dogs that truly need to be here.”
In addition to fosters and adopters, the shelter is also looking for partner rescue organizations to assist them with their current shelter pets.
On its website, Cincinnati Animal CARE says, "No-kill means only euthanizing animals when there is no other live outcome option. In other words, saving every animal that can be saved, healing every animal that can be healed, training every animal that can be trained, and always prioritizing public safety and high quality of life. End of life decisions are made for mercy, not convenience or lack of space."
Those interested in adopting can visit the shelter during walk-in hours noon-6 p.m. daily. In order to ensure the health and safety of employees, potential adopters and pets, guests are asked to wear a mask. If interested, appointments may also be scheduled via email with [email protected].

Cincinnati Animal CARE Humane Society is located at 3949 Colerain Ave., Northside.
