25 Adoptable Cincinnati Pets That Would Look Great in a Cozy Fall Sweater

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. We've compiled a list of available pets from a few local adoption programs to help you on your mission of finding the pet that's right for you. This is just a small glimpse into each agency's list of adoptable pets. If you are interested in seeing what else they have to offer, visit their websites to learn more. Also, keep in mind that each program has their own application process and some take longer than others. If you'd like to help out the cause but aren't able to adopt right now, you can always donate to one of these rescues or a number of other local pet adoption organizations. *Some pets in the slideshow may have pending adoptions. Please contact the rescues for more info. **All caption information taken from pet listing.

Stella
Age: 1.5 Years Old / Breed: American Bulldog / Sex: Female / Rescue: Stray Animal Adoption Program
“Hello all and let me reintroduce Ms. Stella as unfortunately she is back with SAAP. Stella is a 1 1/2 year old American Bulldog Mix who is true to her breed. She was returned due to marking in her prior home and being dominant over the other dog but did not display any aggressive behaviors. She is truly a Bulldog and rescue is requesting next adopter to be very knowledgeable of the breed. Stella truly loves her person, likes to be outside and great on a leash. She plays with toys and can be affectionate. She can be very silly at times and when excited does what I call her little hippy hop dance lol. She is a gorgeous girl but again a true bulldog as her personality is very low key and somewhat aloof. She needs a new forever family who will love her for who she is and not give up on her.”

Old Red
Age: 8 Years Old / Breed: Hound / Sex: Male / Rescue: Stray Animal Adoption Program
“Old Red is searching for his home. Despite his grey muzzle, he is only 8 years old and loves to take walks and play with his stuffed toys. Foster mom calls him Big Red since he is sensitive about being called old and he is full of youthful fun. Red is good with other dogs and people. He is a bit too interested in cats so a cat free home please. He loves a soft dog bed, chewing on bones and sitting outside on a warm sunny day. He does take a heart pill twice a day which he gets with his meal and eats it without difficulty.”

Lottie
Age: 16 Weeks Old / Breed: Spaniel Mix / Sex: Female / Rescue: Louie’s Legacy Animal Rescue
“Meet Lottie, or as her foster mom calls her, Lottie-Dah! This little lady is a 16 week old Spaniel mix, weighing about 7lbs. She is fostered with both large and small dogs and gets along well with everyone! She has also been introduced to a cat and loved it! Lottie's favorites include playing with her foster siblings (especially the largest dog in the house), diving head first into the grass outside followed by a lot of leaf and stick chasing, and standing smack in the middle of her food bowl during her meals. She has a lot of personality and love to share, and would make a great and entertaining addition to a family with either no children or older children and another playful, submissive dog!”

Toby the Baussie
Age: 4 Months Old / Breed: Beagle-Australian Shepherd Mix / Sex: Male / Rescue: Sweet Dream Rescue House
“Do you like Aussies? How about Beagles? Well take a look at the perfect mix -- the Baussie! TOBY THE BAUSSIE has a beautiful face, beagle ears and the cutest little Aussie tail! This little 4 month old 10 lb gem is sweet, cute, cuddly, kissy, smart and full of energy. Toby the Baussie wants to play play play! He really needs a canine playmate and a fenced yard so he can run and chase ball while he trips over his own feet! Toby the Baussie will probably be 25 lbs when fully grown. He doesn't know a stranger and gets along with all dogs. Older dogs think he's quite a nuisance but young dogs certainly enjoy this little spitfire. He loves to chase balls and toys and even chase the dogs that sneak off with them. Toby the Baussie is crate trained and appears to be housebroken. This adorable pup will go to an adopter on a foster-to-adopt basis. His adoption will not be finalized until all vetting covered by our adoption fee is completed”

Hero
Age: Puppy / Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / Sex: Male / Rescue: Adoption First Animal Rescue - Kentucky
“My name is Hero and my foster mom always says I'm the cutest most bestest boy around! Even though I still sometimes chew on everyones shoes, the small humans get in more trouble than me for not putting them where they belong. I like to think I'm just helping them try and remember when I do it. I really enjoy hanging outside and just observing nature. I'm really enjoying all the leaves this time of the season. Sometimes I'll see our neighbor's young nephew outside and it makes me so excited. I love kids! I enjoy kissing their faces all over! Sometimes I get a little too excited and may give a little nibble. It's not usually too bad, but I do still have some sharp puppy teeth! Mom says she just hates to see me go, but she knows someone out there needs me as much I need them. I'll stick by your side always and promise to stay just as sweet as I am now!”

Ginger Bee
Age: Young / Breed: Pitbull Terrier Mix / Sex: Female / Rescue: Save the Animals Foundation
“This wrinkly faced pittie mix was found tied up in an abandoned home, underweight and flea-ridden. Currently recovering from spay surgery in the home of one of our volunteers, Ginger is so grateful for regular meals, a warm bed and--most of all--the company of humans which she so adores. A well-rounded girl, Ginger's perfect date would include chasing ball for 20 minutes, snuggling for 10 minutes, and repeating. Just one year old and a highly-snugglable 36 pounds, Ginger Bee is an enthusiastic lap dog and loves to watch football. She also has a wild side and will play hard with another dog. She loves new people, but needs to work on *not* jumping up to greet them. She is crate-trained, a bit of a puller on leash, and very VERY interested in SQUIRRELS!!!”

Age: 1 Year Old / Breed: Terrier Mix / Sex: Female / Rescue: Sweet Dream Rescue House
“Sweet HAILEY ROSE was such a frightened little girl when she arrived but she's blossomed into a wonderful dog in her foster home. She's a beautiful, good natured dog. Hailey Rose is young, about 18 months old and fully grown at 38 lbs. She's a sweet terrier mix, housebroken and crate trained. She's a very quiet medium energy girl who loves playing with the other dogs in her foster home. She's still a bit frightened by new things. She's best suited to a home with no small children (under 5) with a fenced yard in case she gets spooked and tries to run, but she could also do well in an apartment or condo with regular walks.”

“Hi I'm Pepperoni! I'm a 16 lb. Dachshund/Chihuahua mix. I'm 1.5 years old. I love to lounge around with my foster parents and get pets. I can be shy at first but I warm up quickly. I'm good with the dogs and cats in my foster home. I can be quite vocal when I want something and when my foster parents leave the house, but I'm usually pretty quiet otherwise. I'm crate trained and working on my potty training. Sometimes I don't like being approached and I run because I am scared. I also get anxious in a loud environment so I don't think a home with small kids would be best for me! I am not a good apartment dog as I do bark when I am alone.”

Age: 1 Year Old / Breed: Maine Coon-Domestic Medium Hair Mix / Sex: Male / Rescue: Desperate Cat Lives
“This funny and affectionate boy was rescued from poor living conditions, along with approximately 200 other animals, from an animal hoarding facility presenting as a legitimate animal rescue facility. We have no idea how long Mateo was confined to the cage he was found in, but his foster mom estimates it was from kitten hood as he was a very fearful cat. Mateo was terrified of people and cringed at the back of his crate whenever they approached him. Once petting commenced he would relax somewhat and enjoy it. Mateo has blossomed over the past three months he has been in foster care. He’s more confident and no longer runs from his foster family members - unless it’s in play. He is very energetic and loves to play. He especially enjoys interactive play, and he loves taunting the resident cats in an effort to get them to join him in some games of wrestle and chase.”
