Our History

My Furry Valentine was started in 2012 as a way to help the passionate rescue community in Cincinnati find homes for all the animals they rescue. With the goal of finding forever homes for Cincinnati’s homeless animals, we continued to grow each year. Learn more about each event in our happy history.
