Who we are: Cincinnati Animal CARE, also known as Cincy CARE, is Hamilton County’s only open, stray-intake municipal animal shelter responsible for the county’s dog warden and Animal Control services. As the sole taxpayer-funded provider of these services, we are committed to ensuring all animals in our community are valued, protected, and have a safe place to call home. We are a dynamic and progressive organization aiming to deliver exceptional animal services to our community. We enforce animal laws and prioritize public safety while striving to be a community resource providing education and support to the people and animals of Hamilton County. Our History Cincy CARE assumed responsibility for Hamilton County animal services in August 2020, committed to the humane no-kill philosophy. The nationally recognized definition of no-kill is saving the lives of 90% or more of the animals that enter an animal shelter's doors. We believe that lifesaving is a community ethic and implement a collaborative, holistic approach to animal sheltering and Dog Warden services. Cincy CARE provides temporary care to thousands of animals annually through dedication, hard work, and compassionate care. Our network is composed of an incredible group of animal welfare professionals and passionate volunteers, foster caregivers, and donors, without whom our work would not be possible. Cincinnati Animal CARE Humane Society is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. We rely on the generosity of individuals for support. Donations are tax-deductible under section 501(c)3 of the IRS code.
