Cincinnati Animal CARE is committed to transparency. The days of killing healthy animals in Hamilton County are over and to prove it to you, we provide the most in-depth, detailed data in the region. Below are a “noses in/noses out” count of every cat and dog to enter our doors. These statistics are intended to hold us accountable and to provide you with the context to understand what is happening at your county shelter. 

As Hamilton County’s ONLY county animal shelter, we believe you have the right to the full picture – to understand what is going well and where we need help. Percentages alone mean nothing without a full account of every animal entering our care. Some people might say we’re obsessed with numbers and they’re right, because each of these numbers represents a life.
