Hondo is the kind of dog who makes an entrance without even trying—big, handsome, and sweet. He’s a champion leaner who’ll stroll up and rub against you like an oversized cat requesting affection please, and once you’re officially in his friend circle, his goofy, playful side comes out in full force. Hondo has a talent for turning ordinary moments into happier ones, whether he’s clowning around or just being your giant shadow with the sweetest face around.

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.
