Meet Balboa, the charming male dog with a personality as unique as his name! Balboa is a protective soul, watchful of his surroundings, but when it's just the two of you, he transforms into a relaxed, laid-back companion. This easygoing guy appears house trained and sleeps long and well at night, making him an ideal cuddle buddy. If you're ready to offer patience and love to help Balboa continue adapting, he'll surely become your loyal and loving friend.

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.
