Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Fayette, a gentle, affectionate sweetheart whose calm presence makes every home feel warmer. She’s an easygoing companion who quickly bonds with her people and loves nothing more than soft pets, cozy naps, and quiet time close by. In foster care, Fayette was consistently described as potty trained, crate trained, and low-maintenance—able to snooze the day away, enjoy a peaceful walk, and curl up for cuddles without any fuss. She greets new people with wiggles, leans right in for affection, and takes treats with the gentlest manners.
Fayette enjoys exploring the world at a relaxed pace and has shown interest in meeting other dogs on walks, though she prefers calm, respectful canine energy. She can be hesitant with men—especially tall men—at first, but with a little space and no pressure, she warms up beautifully and becomes just as affectionate. Clicker training has boosted her confidence and improved her leash skills, and she loves working for snacks. While she’s shown some reactivity when excited or overwhelmed, she redirects well and continues to make steady progress.
If you’re looking for a quiet, loving companion who brings sweetness, steadiness, and easy company into your home, Fayette might be your perfect match. She’s happiest in a peaceful environment with daily walks, soft places to nap, and people who appreciate her gentle heart.
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 foster@cincycare.org 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.
About Us: Cincinnati Animal CARE proudly serves Hamilton County’s humane society needs, dog warden, and animal control services. We help keep people and pets together and connect strays with future families.

More about this shelter
While the name is new, we’re not new to animal welfare and sheltering. Our team has wide-ranging experience in animal welfare, animal control, business operations and fundraising.
Cincinnati Animal CARE is brought to you by the same lifesaving team that ran the Clermont animal shelter (Clermont Animal CARE) for 3 years with record-breaking, lifesaving success. We are thrilled to be bringing our progressive, best-practice animal sheltering to Hamilton County.
Clermont Animal CARE successes since January 1st, 2018
We tripled our capacity for care!
Adoptions were up 64%!
Euthanasia was down 46% since the day we took over and down 96% in the last 5 years!
98% Live Release Rate since day one- the highest in county history!
Named a Top 10 Shelter in the Nation by American Pets Alive!
Launched the first ever Community Cats Program in county history!
The Executive Director and Director of Lifesaving Operations were 2 of only 26 acting animal services leaders in the nation to graduate from Best Friends Animal Society’s and Southern Utah University’s Executive Leadership Certificate Program!
How Do We Do It?
We believe that every animal deserves a chance at a live outcome, should be treated as an individual, and that lifesaving is a community ethic. We trust our community and hope you’ll trust us. We promise to always be transparent with our community- you’ll always have a ‘noses in, noses out’ monthly data report. You’ll always know exactly where we stand.
What is No-Kill?
No-kill means only euthanizing animals when there is no other live outcome option. In other words, saving every animal that can be saved, healing every animal that can be healed, training every animal that can be trained, and always prioritizing public safety and high quality of life. End of life decisions are made for mercy, not convenience or lack of space.
To be clear, euthanasia means to end suffering. If the animal isn’t suffering, then it’s simply killing.
At Cincinnati Animal CARE, we treat every animal as an individual and assess their health and temperament holistically. When we euthanize an animal, it is because we have exhausted ALL other options for a live outcome and have determined that the animal is suffering too greatly, without good prognosis, from an illness or injury or they are a true public safety risk.
Our Commitment to the County
We are committed to a healthy partnership with county officials, one that is rooted in mutual respect, open communication, transparency, and a commitment to a common vision. We believe animal services in Hamilton County will thrive under a trusting and collaborative partnership.
Our Commitment to the Community
We believe in the value of people and understand they are essential to achieving no-kill at the Northside shelter. People are the solution, not the problem and we aim to understand problems in the community and from their perspective, so that we can create shared solutions. Pet issues and challenges are actually people issues and challenges. Because lifesaving is a community ethic, we intend to provide our community with relevant, available and important messaging. We need your help, Hamilton County! We cannot achieve no-kill alone.
Our Commitment to the Animals
We operate with the belief that an animal shelter is no place to live. We believe the best thing we can do for animals in Hamilton County is to keep them out of the shelter to begin with. We are committed to comprehensive programming that works with pet owners first to seek solutions to financial, behavioral, or housing problems that are hindering responsible pet ownership with the goal of keeping pets in homes. In the event that an animal must enter our care, we believe a robust foster program is the answer to providing re-homing support while keeping them out of the shelter.
Every animal in our care will receive immediate, individual attention and consideration. Each animal is placed on a live outcome plan upon arrival and our staff are compassionate and trained in best practices to ensure the exceptional care of every animal. “The Five Freedoms” are just the minimum. We will always act with a sense of urgency when lives are on the line.
