About this shelter

Heartt Animal Refuge in Sharonville, OH

HEARTT Animal Refuge is an animal shelter located in Sharonville, Ohio, in Hamilton County, about 15 miles southwest of Cincinnati, and is one of 17 animal shelters and rescues serving Hamilton County. The organization cares for dogs and cats awaiting adoption, with dedicated space for senior and special needs cats at its Bridgetown Road location, which was originally founded by Holly and Jane Petersen as Holly's Paws before merging with HEARTT in 2025.

Sponsorship starts at just $10, offering an accessible way for supporters to help animals who aren't ready for adoption yet.
