Cincinnati-area residents looking for love this weekend may find it in the form of a furry friend.

My Furry Valentine returns to the Sharonville Convention Center for its 7th year this weekend.

The Valentine's Day-themed adoption event features hundreds of dogs, cats, puppies, kittens and other small animals from shelters and rescue organizations in the region.

The event runs until 5 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

General admission tickets are $5 per person, ages 5 and up.

More than 3,400 animals have been adopted through the event over the past six years, according to a press release for the event.

"Driven by a mission to end shelter euthanasia, My Furry Valentine brings more than 800 adoptable animals under one roof to help them find forever homes," the release states.
