Loveland, Ohio – We are pleased to present Loveland Magazine’s Pets of the Month for January! The community of Loveland provided us with some very festive Pet of the Month photos and we are beyond thrilled to celebrate these pets’ holiday photos with YOU the readers!

Introducing Cooper, a 13-year-old Cocker Spaniel, and Molly, a 7-year-old Lab-Mix that owner Cassie Sepello adopted from HART Cincinnati. Sepello told us that these two beautiful dogs are a huge part of her family’s lives, especially her kids!

“Cooper and Molly have grown up with our kids! They adore our kids and our kids adore them,” Sepello said, “They also love to go on walks around Loveland. Some of their favorite places include the Meade Park trail, Symmes park trails, and the bike path in Loveland, especially when they get to go behind Nisbet park and hop in the river!”

Sepello also shared that Molly is quite the athlete as she loves to go on runs around their neighborhood!

“Molly ran all my long runs with me when I was training for a half marathon. She was still wagging her tail after finishing a 12-mile training run! She’s definitely an endurance runner,” Sepello added.

Meet Cooper and Molly 

Christmas Eve with the kids in matching holiday PJ’s!
  • Cooper’s 13th birthday party this past February
  • This past fall at Symmes Township park
  •  Their favorite time of day is when the school bus rolls up in the afternoon and the kids come home

Congratulations to the Sepello family, Cooper, and Molly for being the first pets in 2022 to be selected to represent Loveland Magazine’s Pets of the Month for January! The Sepellos and their furbabies will be rewarded with a Nothing Bundt Cakes Bundtlet Tower, a gift card to The Works Pizza, and an 8X10 framable photo keepsake! Cooper and Molly will not only be featured in our publication but will also be included in our weekly newsletter for the month of January and our social media pages.

We would like to thank everyone who sent in holiday photos of their pets as it was an absolute joy to see how many beautiful animals there are in our community! For those who sent in photos but weren’t selected this time around, don’t worry, as your entries will be entered back into the competition for the following month’s selection!
