Dearest Gentle Reader…
The social season is positively buzzing over one extraordinary lady named Ompie. And while she may not care much for lavish balls or scandalous gossip, she does dream of one thing: a quiet home where she can finally rest her noble little heart.
At 9 years young, Ompie is the very picture of grace. She prefers sun puddles over chaos, afternoon naps over marathon adventures, and companionship over commotion. Think less ‘diamond of the first water’ and more the warm cup of tea waiting at the end of a long day.
She is gentle. Mannerly. Soulful in the way only senior dogs can be. The kind of companion who asks for very little, yet somehow gives everything. Ompie would happily spend her golden years curled beside you while the world rushes noisily by outside.
But this sweet lady’s story has taken a heartbreaking turn — her time is limited, and she urgently needs an adopter, foster, or rescue commitment.
The best news? Her adoption fee has been waived, because every senior dog deserves the chance to know love, safety, and softness again.
If your heart has room for a loyal old soul with impeccable manners and eyes that still sparkle with hope… Ompie is waiting.
Could you be her happily ever after? 🤍

--------------------------------------------------------
Ompie has been waiting since January and no one has come for her. Ompie is a senior dog who requires a unicorn home (meaning no other dogs cats and no kids (18+ only)). She is highly stressed onsite, therefore the shelter has searched for interventions, fosters, adopters, and rescues - all with no interest. She has done well in a unicorn home, but should not live with other dogs, cats, or kids. Due to her consistently high level of stress, it is unkind to keep her suffering and therefore, humane euthanasia deadline has been decided. we cannot continue to prolong her suffering.
Here are her placement options:
🆘 Adoption, long-term foster (30+ days), or rescue.
🆘 Ompie needs a home without dogs, cats, or kids (over 18+). She has shown handler guarding, so a single-person or couple home is preferred.
Come to Cincinnati Animal CARE to meet her and ask the staff any specific question. (open everyday from 1-6pm). Please come since phone calls and emails can be slower to be returned due to the animal overpopulation crisis and the high amount of animals in care that are housed at the shelter.
**I AM JUST A VOLUNTEER ADVOCATING FOR OMPIE. I do NOT have control over decisions. If you have issues or grievances, please contact the shelter. If you are mad that dogs are being euthanized, then please help by adopting, fostering, donating, volunteering or sharing OMPIE's posts to help. If you are mad that AI was used to create the image, i am sorry. I have not had the chance to do a photo shoot with this dog . . . but i still wanted to do SOMETHING."
