Meet Baxter! His sleek black coat and radar-dish ears give him a look that says “ready for anything,” while his soft eyes reveal a total lovebug underneath. He is a young dog and loves being close to his people—whether he’s enthusiastically saying hello or promptly passing out in the car like it’s his full-time job. Baxter is sweet, wiggly, and full of energy, but also surprisingly gentle and cooperative (even spa day approved). He’s got a big heart, a playful streak, and enough affection to rival a Skyline chili order—loaded.

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.
