The SPCA Cincinnati is dedicated to rescuing animals, bringing pets and people together, and fostering a humane community for the pets and the people who love them. We believe that when you adopt, volunteer, or support our work, you join a compassionate community united by the joy of unconditional love.
Founded in 1873, we are proud to be the fourth humane society established in the United States and the oldest in Ohio. For over 150 years, we have served as a trusted leader in animal welfare, committed to advancing care and respect for every animal that comes through our doors.
We provide compassionate, professional care for all our animals, ranging from medical support and vaccinations to enrichment and behavioral training. We work tirelessly to ensure every dog and cat is healthy, with 100% of our adoptable animals receiving flea and tick prevention, heartworm medication, and microchipping for their safety. Our team is invested in innovative educational techniques that help keep pets and families together, treating surrender only as a last resort.
Adoption is a life-changing experience, and we are here to ensure every transition is a success. We encourage the entire family to visit our shelter to meet our animals in a relaxed, comfortable environment to ensure a true connection. Whether you are looking for a cat, dog, or small animal, our team is dedicated to guiding you through the process and helping you find your new best friend.
Are you ready to meet your future companion? We invite you to visit our Sharonville or Simmonds Farm locations daily between 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to browse our available animals, or visit our website to start your journey today. Together, we can continue to make our community a better place for pets and people.
