Have you been considering adopting a new furry pal? With dog-friendly coffee shops, bakeries, bars and parks, Cincinnati is a great place to be a pet owner. While there are many good boys and girls looking for their forever home, there's a lot to think about when making the decision to bring home a pet. What kind of breed is right for you and your lifestyle? What adoption agencies should you look at? If you're serious about making this life step, adopting a pet is very rewarding — for you and the pet that gets a new home.

Glinda

Age: 9 years old / Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Mix / Sex: Female / Rescue: Save The Animals Foundation
"Someone deserted little Glinda, along with her pal Toto, just days after Christmas. They were found cold, starving and matted. We wish we knew their background, which would make a big difference in our vet assessment and their adoption outlook. She tremors like a chihuahua. Her CBC/chem profile shows nothing remarkable; we are awaiting a neuro consult to eliminate any conditions of concern. Her tremors could just be idiopathic. Grateful to be in out of the cold, but would be so much happier in a home of their own, with some warm laps to curl up in. Got a little room in yours for a little love or two? Please contact us to arrange a meeting! If you are interested in Glinda and/or her pal Toto, please fill out an application at www.STAF.org."

Hershey

Age: 3 1/2 years old / Breed: Labrador Retriever / Sex: Male / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy
"He can be a very sweet boy. He needs time to warm up to strangers, but has worked with a trainer and is becoming more trusting. He will need more training and firm boundaries. He loves playing with his foster siblings. He enjoys chewing on bones and ropes. He is very loving to his foster mom. Hershey is crate trained and housebroken. He knows all his basic commands (sit, stay, paw, come, place). He is available to meet and greet, with the potential adopter. He’s a perfect snuggle buddy.

Nike

Age: 1 year old / Breed: Boxer Mix / Sex: Male / Rescue: HART Animal Rescue

Esmerelda

Age: Senior / Breed: Dilute Tortoiseshell / Sex: Female / Rescue: Save The Animals Foundation
"Esmerelda was rescued from a hoarding situation when she was a kitten and has grown up to become an elegant cat with a gentle demeanor and a spunky streak. If you enjoy both the therapeutic benefits of stroking a responsive pet and interactive playtime, Esmerelda is your girl. Her coat is a lovely example of what is called a dilute tortoiseshell; in which the typically bold black and rust colors are replaced with soft tones. Her subtle pattern alternates gray and tan; she has an apricot star on her forehead. Esmerelda will make a wonderful companion, so come in to meet her today! If you are interested in Esmerelda, please fill out an application at www.STAF.org."

"Maxine is a 9-year-old female orange tabby who came to HART as an owner surrender after she was attacked by a dog. Maxine has recovered and is ready for her forever home. Maxine is a bit shy at first, but she warms up quickly. She absolutely loves attention, petting, and belly rubs. She is microchipped, spayed, declawed in front, and up to date on vet visits. She doesn't mind other cats, but she gets anxious around dogs. Maxine is calm and chatty, perfect for a family who wants a very social, interactive pet.

Chip

Age: 1 year old / Breed: Beagle Mix / Sex: Male / Rescue: HART Animal Rescue
"Chip was rescued from a hoarding situation with his brother Dale (who is also for adoption) where there were over SIXTY dogs in the house! Chip is a year old, 30 pound Beagle mix (our best guess). This means they didn't get a whole lot of attention and is still very shy. This little guy is looking for a permanent home that will be patient with him as he continues to come out of his shell. If you are interested in Chip and/or Dale, please fill out an application at rescueahart.org."

"This big marshmallow with random gray patches sometimes likes to be held and will generally settle in for a snuggle. He warms up to other cats with the benefit of slow introductions.
