Hamilton County's No-Kill Animal Shelter Pushes Fostering and Adoptions

There's a new Dog Warden in town. Cincinnati Animal CARE Humane Society is Hamilton County’s first no-kill shelter operator -  fulfilling the County's Dog Warden responsibilities of collecting stray dogs and enforcing dog licenses. In August 2020, Cincinnati Animal CARE officially  took over operations of the County's dog shelter in Northside. At that time, the shelter was at full capacity. In 2021, they saw a near 70% increase in total animals coming in, and 2022 has shown no signs of slowing down. Cincinnati Animal CARE has taken in 320 animals since March 1.  Listen as we discuss what a "no-kill" shelter means and how Cincinnati Animal CARE is dealing with the capacity challenges. Cincinnati Animal CARE is open to the public seven days a week from 1pm - 6pm at 3949 Colerain Ave. Visit them today, meet the staff, and adopt or foster!To learn more about Hamilton County, Ohio, our services and job openings, visit hamiltoncountyohio.gov.
