Our vision is to reunite lost companion pets, reduce the stray population, offer opportunities for unwanted animals to be adopted or rescued and provide the public with information and programs for responsible pet ownership in Hamilton County Ohio.
1. Look online at our adoptable dogs, cats and other animals. 2. Call the shelter to schedule an appointment to meet the animal. 3. Complete an adoption application at the shelter. 4. Upon approval, pay the adoption fee. If you’re a Hamilton County resident, you’ll also be required to purchase a state of Ohio dog license at the shelter. 5. Take your new furry friend home! Collars and leashes are available for sale at the shelter for your new dog. A crate can be rented for a $25 deposit. A cardboard carrier can be purchased for $5 for your new cat. 6. Follow these suggestions for introducing your new cat or dog.
