30 Adoptable Dogs and Cats from Cincinnati Animal CARE Who Need Homes

By CityBeat Staff

Cincinnati Animal CARE recently shared on social media that they are in desperate need of humans to take home some of their adorable animals. As of last week, the shelter had taken in 531 animals in the last 30 days and we'd like to show you just a small selection of these furry friends.

Animal CARE has also shared on social media that due to this high volume of pets they are running low on some supplies. They are asking anyone who can to buy things off their Amazon or Chewy wishlists or stop by in person to drop off hotdogs and blocks of cheese.

If you are interested in any of these pets or seeing what else they have to offer contact Cincinnati Animal CARE| 513-541-7387, cincinnatianimalcare.org.

Grinch

Age: 2 years old / Breed: Retriever/Labrador Mix / Sex: Male
"Meet Grinch! Grinch is such a cutie! This boy loves to give kisses, play with toys, and is very active! He'd do best in a home that can keep up some positive reinforcement training- BECAUSE let me tell ya, this boy will do pretty much anything for some tasty treats. He is eager to learn and wants to please. Grinch does well with other dogs and cats even! Come down and meet him!"

Tootsie

Age: 8 years old / Breed: Domestic Shorthair/Mix / Sex: Female

Mandalorian

Age: 3 years old / Breed: Terrier/Mix / Sex: Male
"Mandalorian, or Mando as his friends call him, is a very sweet and special boy. He is much smaller than his giant ears would lead you to believe and has the softest fur this side of the Ohio River. He is crate trained, quiet, does well left on his own, and doesn't have accidents in the house! He did very well living with his foster's dogs. This boy needs someone who will go slow with him, earn his trust, and keep working on his manners. In return, you'll get some of the best cuddles and a super cute friend for life. Mandalorian would do best in a calm home without kids."

Gaia

Age: 10 years old / Breed: Domestic Shorthair/Mix / Sex: Female
"Gaia is a playful cat who loves chasing the laser or small balls around the house. She is very loving and wants nothing more than to snuggle on the couch with you. This dazzling gal lets nothing stop her from living her life to the fullest. If you'd love nothing more than for Gaia to be a member of your family, then apply online or visit Gaia at the shelter!"

Tobias

Age: 2 years old / Breed: Shepherd/Retriever / Sex: Male
“Tobias loves to play and absolutely loves toys! He is even learning more and more how to share his toys with the resident dogs in his foster home. He loves playing outside in the yard, lots of zoomies happening. He has also taken a liking to the shower. He does great in the car and is so calm. He walks well but gets a little excited but is learning. He loves walks. He has lots of energy so he loves all of the active things. However at the end of the day he very much enjoys cuddling up on the couch with his people. Tobias is a very loving dog.”

Yankee

Age: 10 years old / Breed: Domestic Shorthair/Mix / Sex: Female
“Meet Yankee. This girl is a bit on the older side but still has a lot of spunk and life left in her! She does take a minute to warm up to new people- her lifelong owner had to go into an assisted living home and couldn't take Yankee with her, that's a lot of change for a small kitty! But Yankee is ready for a new adventure and to be treated like a queen again!”

Rocky River

Age: 3 years old / Breed: Shepherd/Mix / Sex: Male
“Meet Rocky River. Rocky River can be a little shy but he is the sweetest! Rocky River needs a family that is going to be gentle and patient with him! He is such a great pup and is deserving of the best home that will give him the room to learn and trust again so he can be the amazing dog we know he is!”

Sersi

Age: 3 years old / Breed: Domestic Medium Hair/Mix / Sex: Female
“Meet Sersi! This friendly, petite 3-year-old girl is just a dream cat. She is a half short-hair, half floof which makes her SO SOFT! She loves cuddling, purring, sitting on laps and getting lots of pets. Sersi is very happy when she is getting brushed, groomed, and generally doted on. She loves to eat wet food and uses the litter box perfectly. She likes to play and use her scratching pad, but she is most content when she is sitting like a little queen atop her blanket! If you are looking for a floofy, friendly, cuddle bug then Sersi is the girl for you!”

Norman

Age: 5 years old / Breed: Border Collie/Mix / Sex: Male
“Meet Norman! This absolutely beautiful boy will thrive in a home where he's the only pet, so he can get all the attention he absolutely deserves. He's also best suited to a quieter, low traffic home, and finds the best company with adults and older teenagers.”

Aphid

Age: 10 years old / Breed: Domestic Longhair/Mix/ Sex: Male
“Aphid is the perfect companion cat. He is shy and needs some time to adjust. But once he feels more comfortable, he enjoys watching you and relaxing next to you but just out of reach. Other parts of the days he chills in a more quiet area of the room. He doesn't really like to be touched still and will let you know with a little hiss, but leaves it at that.”
