My Furry Valentine is Greater Cincinnati's Largest Annual Pet Adoption Event.
Conducted over a weekend, it is a great chance for people to meet adoptable animals from numerous local shelters & rescues all under one roof and adopt their new best friend. We are so excited to see everyone at the 2024 My Furry Valentine Adoption event taking place at the Sharonville Convention Center on February 17th and 18th, 2023. We will have hundreds of adoptable animals under one roof, all
available for adoption and waiting for their forever families. This is a family-focused and fun event supporting our community animal rescue and adoption initiatives.

Meet Mazikeen - available for adoption through HALO.
This sweet girl is 1 year and 9 months old and is searching for her forever home! She dreams of a cozy couch to call her own and a fenced-in yard to play in. Good with kids as young as 4, Mazikeen is a timid soul when it comes to meeting strangers, but she warms up quicklyespecially if you have tasty treats!
Mazikeen loves to play ball in her own adorable way and already knows commands like sit, stay, down, and place. She's currently working on her leash manners and would do best as the only dog, as she can be fearful around other pups.

Knight is here with a VERY URGENT announcement (because no one listens unless itβs dramatic):
There are only TWO WEEKS LEFT of our $60 adoption special for dogs over 12 months old!
And reallyβwhat better time than summer to adopt a dog? The kids are home, the backyard is calling, and letβs face itβ¦ you were looking for a reason to avoid that family road trip anyway.
Now, Knightβs not one to make it all about himself (heβs humble like that), but since weβre hereβ¦
Heβs a 2-year-old Boxer mix with killer looks, a heart of gold, and a PhD in slobber. If you're into wet kisses and goofy charm, heβs your guy.

Meet Squidbilly - avalable for adoption through Fostering Felines.
He is a super sweet and affectionate 5y old boy. He was extremely matted upon intake so we sedated him and gave him a lion cut but with a hilarious mullet giving him the name Squidbilly (A hillbilly adult cartoon show).
He does great with other cats, is leery of dogs but does just fine in his foster home with dogs. We think heβs just never been around dogs so he currently avoids them. He is now a retired street cat and is loving the inside life so much - he has never once tried to get back outside. We think heβs loves the safety inside offers as well as the meals - heβs a big boy coming in at 14lbs!
He is FIV+ which simply means he needs to remain inside for the rest of his life. Leash walks outside would be fine or a catio but absolutely no free-roaming for him!

My Furry Valentine is committed to the vision of a world where there is no more shelter euthanasia. A world where there is no longer a need for a mega pet adoption event. A time when we become a βNo Killβ nation! But until that day comes, we will continue our efforts to educate our community about the importance of adoption while providing a platform to connect animals in need of a home with people willing to give them one. In doing so, we will be working alongside our rescue, shelter and other animal welfare counterparts who are implementing spay and neuter, foster care, trap-neuter-return, foster networks, pet retention, and other comprehensive adoption programs, all with the ultimate goal of one day becoming a βNo Killβ nation. With every event My Furry Valentine hosts, and every animal adopted, we are one step closer to that goal.
Every day, an average of 9,000 cats and dogs are euthanized in shelters across the United States. In fact, euthanasia is the leading cause of untimely death for healthy dogs and cats in our country. Each year, 7.3 million animals enter shelters nationwide, patiently, hopefully, waiting to catch the eye of one of the 12 million families who will bring a new pet into their home. But many Americans still get their new pets from places other than rescues and shelters, and so an estimated 3-4 million animals die unnecessarily every year.
We can change that!
If just 1 out of every 5 people bringing a new pet into their family were to adopt from a shelter or rescue, the Humane Society of the United States estimates that not one single healthy cat or dog would lose his or her life in a shelter. While these statistics donβt tell the whole story, they hopefully reinforce the notion that by welcoming an adoptable animal into your family, youβre doing more than saving one life β youβre helping us rewrite the script for all homeless animals.
Since our inception in 2012, My Furry Valentine has grown in size and popularity. It is through the help of countless numbers of friends, colleagues, and volunteers that My Furry Valentine has become one of the largest animal adoption events in the country! The hundreds of adoptions that take place during our event give homeless animals the chance they deserve at joining a loving home and family.
The My Furry Valentine events are only made possible through our host, sponsors, funders, donations from individuals, participating vendors and business donors, advertising/PR/media partners, our event volunteers, and our rescue and shelter partners who work tirelessly each and every day throughout the year, with an unyielding passion and commitment to the cause, the My Furry Valentine Organizing Committee who volunteer thousands of hours into bringing the adoption events to the Cincinnati community, and most of all, our event attendees who come to support and adopt.
Please visit the My Furry Valentine event to learn more about what we are all about, support our efforts, and find your new best friend.
