Clear the Kennels: $10 Adoption Fees April 10-12!

🐾 Clear the Kennels Adoption Event
Be the reason a kennel opens. Be the reason a life is saved.
Right now, Cincinnati Animal CARE is experiencing a surge in animals coming through our doors—from strays to urgent cases that cannot wait. As Hamilton County’s only open-intake shelter, we never turn animals away. But when our kennels fill up, it becomes harder to say “yes” to the next animal in need.
That’s where you come in.
💛 April 10–12 | Clear the Kennels Weekend
This special adoption event is your chance to make an immediate, lifesaving impact—while finding a pet who will change your life, too.
📍 Visit us at both shelter locations:
• 3949 Colerain Ave
• 4210 Dane Ave
🕐 Open daily from 1–6 PM
🎉 Limited-Time Adoption Specials
To help create space quickly, we’re offering reduced adoption fees all weekend long:
- Adult dogs & cats (6+ months): $10
- Kittens: $60 or two for $60 (BOGO!)
- Puppies: $200
Every adoption includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, and a microchip—everything your new pet needs to start their next chapter. There is a $5 service fee on all transactions and mandatory $19.75 dog license fee required for adopters if you live in Hamilton County, Ohio!
🐶 Flexible Ways to Help
Not quite ready to commit? You can still make a difference:
- Foster-to-adopt options give you time to ensure the right fit
- Many dogs are currently in foster homes, and meet-and-greets can be arranged by emailing [email protected]
🏡 Why This Weekend Matters
Right now, kennel space is critically limited. Every animal who leaves the shelter—whether through adoption or fostering—creates room for another who may be waiting for help.
When you adopt this weekend, you are not just changing one life. You are creating a ripple effect that allows us to continue saying “yes” to animals in need across our community.
🐾 Come Meet Your Match
From playful puppies and curious kittens to gentle seniors and loyal companions, there is a pet here for every home and lifestyle.
Come meet them. Spend time. Fall in love.
And walk out knowing you made a real difference.
