25 Adoptable Dogs From Cincinnati Animal CARE Looking for Families to Love

National Dog Day is Thursday, Aug. 26. Looking to add a furry new addition to your family in honor of the holiday? Cincinnati Animal CARE Humane Society, which recently took over Hamilton County's Northside shelter, is bursting at the seams with adoptable dogs who would love to share your home (and lap) with you. The local animal welfare group recently took in 46 dogs from a Texas shelter that was about to have to start euthanizing animals for space. And those Texas puppies and small dogs will be joined by Cincinnati Animal CARE's additional 200+ adoptable dogs and cats at a "Puppypalooza" adoption event at Cincinnati Animal CARE's shelter in Northside this Saturday, Aug. 28 from noon-6 p.m. All dogs who are over 6 months old and 30 pounds will cost $20, plus a Hamilton County licensing fee. Reduced dog adoption fees will be valid from noon Aug. 27 through 6 p.m. Aug. 29. Cincinnati Animal CARE says this weekend will also be the first time they are opening the shelter's kennels for walkthroughs. Read more about Puppypalooza here.  Here's a glimpse of some of the dogs available at the Cincinnati shelter.

Ford Ranger
Age: Adult / Breed: Terrier Mix / Sex: Male
”We know Ford Ranger's first photo looks like he has had one too many pup-wines, but honestly we think he perfectly captures his goofy personality. He's a very good boy and he loves to follow his nose and is keen to walk and explore. Ford also responds eagerly if invited to play and his energy is moderately high yet he is very responsive to verbal cues and and is extremely alert to his surroundings! If he had a report card, it would say "ford ranger is a pleasure to have in class, A+" He is very smart and for a 3 year old, he is extremely mature- he will definitely never eat your homework, sorry kids! Come meet this amazing boy today and see why Ford Ranger is so loved by everyone he meets!”

Sundance
Age: Adult / Breed: Terrier Mix / Sex: Female
"Sundance, aka Sunny. We call her Sunny, easier than Sundance, but both names fit this pup.
We have been fostering Sunny for the past 4+ months. When we first got her, she was definitely reserved and didn't know what was going on or how to react. She didn't know how to play, it was really sad. We had a number of toys for her and she didn't react to any of them. It took her about 2 weeks to feel at home and then she started playing! Ever since then, she has been playing and enjoying her foster home.”

Blueberry Bagel
Age: Senior / Breed: Beagle Mix / Sex: Male
”This is Blueberry Bagel! This face isn't the only thing sweet about him. His cuddles are too! He needs a family that can help him navigate the world around him as he is blind and a family that doesn't mind that he camps out wherever you are. ? Blueberry Bagel is 11 years old and his energy level matches. His favorite thing to do is nap beside a human! When he is up and about, he will need to be monitored until he learns his new environment. His foster has learned that if he pats his leg, Blueberry does a great job following the sound. This charming boy is as sweet as can be. He's just looking for a forever home that is low key and has someone home most of the day so that he doesn't get anxious.”

”Are you looking for a Tank of a dog? If so, Tank is your guy! He'd love to be the center of your world and help him out as he navigates his world with only one eye! He is a favorite to walk and also enjoys just lounging around in the play yard area and soaking up the sun. Tank is a sweetheart that looks like he had a rough start to life but now has a new outlook (literally, he only has 1 eye now!) and he sees clearly that he can trust again especially anyone who gives him hot dogs and cheese!

Screech
Age: Adult / Breed: Terrier Mix / Sex: Male
”Look at this stunning boy! Those eyes and ears really catch your attention, don't they? This is Screech! Not only does his name come from the show Saved by the Bell but when he does bark, it's more like a Screech so he really lives up to his name! Screech is a goofy and quirky dog. He's becoming an affectionate dog in his own way here at the shelter with all the volunteers. He isn't lovey dovey right away but shows you his affection in cute small gestures like leaning up against you, sitting next to you when you sit on the bench, and following you around the play yard but we are sure he'd be a mush if given the chance in the household with cuddling on the couch! He loves his walks (except when it's too hot he'd just prefer a yard and baby pool) and splooting on his belly afterwards to cool off. Once we discovered he walks best with a harness on leash, his walks have been a breeze! If you are looking to have a fun and stunning dog then Screech is the one for you - he'll even let you dress him up and pose for pictures. Make sure to bring the whole family to meet with this boy!”

Merci
Age: Adult / Breed: Retriever Mix / Sex: Female
”Merci is a super sweet girl, who loves long walks, playing with toys, and cuddling! As long as she gets to do it with her people, she's happy. Merci is a highly trainable dog with her food motivation! Her shelter buddy here has been able to teach her a few commands including "stay"! Merci is happy to co-exist with another dog in the household but isn't one to want to play very much but she definitely does not want to play with cats. Older children or a dog savvy child in the home would be preferred due to her being a bit fearful from previous experiences. Merci is a ball of energy but when you put her harness on for a walk, her training kicks in and she enjoys walking right by your side for an enjoyable long walk or as long as Merci can go before she gets too hot!”

”Elijah is the perfect snuggle bug. He wants to be around you at all times and tries to help you with WHATEVER you are doing. He is ready to play at any given moment but is down for some couch cuddles too. And boy does this boy love to eat! We have no issues with him taking his heartworm medication, he thinks they are treats. He is an absolute angel in his crate and he is house trained. He has even begun to master "sit". He does seem to be shy around newcomers in the house but with some patience, he warms up. He is the silliest goofball and you are not short on laughs when he is around. Despite the condition this sweet boy arrived in, he is just ready to love and be loved.”
