Star Anise truly lives up to her name—a bright little constant with a gentle glow and a quietly magical presence. She’s sweet, kind, and has that easygoing charm that makes you think she’s been someone’s beloved companion before; meeting new people comes naturally to her, and she seems ready to settle in and find her rhythm again. Though her world has shifted, her trusting heart hasn’t, and like her namesake spice, she adds just the right warmth to every moment—steady, comforting, and a little bit special.

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.
