I'm ready to meet YOU!

Meet Marilyn—your favorite spicy little tater who just needs a moment to shine. Kennel life isn’t her best angle (can you blame her?), but once she’s out and about, this tiny starlet turns into a full-blown love monster with charm for days and undeniable cuteness to match. Marilyn will likely settle nicely in a cozy, low-key space where she can feel safe, decompress, and show off her softer side—think less paparazzi, more couch cuddles, and a whole lot of heart. She is the star of any show, but she has lived with dogs in the past, so we think she'd be okay with an entourage. Come meet her.

All adoptable pets are spayed/neutered (or scheduled), vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to go home today! No pre-application or appointment needed—just bring a valid ID and walk in. Our adoption fees are among the lowest in Cincinnati!

To meet our animals, visit our Northside shelters any day from 1–6pm. If listed as foster, email [email protected] to schedule a meet and greet. Adopting an adult dog with resident dogs or kids at home? Bring them along to ensure it’s a perfect match.
