Columbus Humane

About

Our mission is to fight animal cruelty, help animals in need and advocate for their well-being. and we have been doing it since 1883. Today, we are a team of experts - skilled, caring and innovative people dedicated to our mission. But we can’t do it alone. Columbus Humane is not a government agency, and we do not receive general operating support from national organizations. Rather, we rely on the support of private donors for more than 92% of our funding and remarkable volunteers to make our work possible. Join us. And together, we’ll continue making history.

Adoption process

The best way to learn about the animals available for adoption is come visit us! Our adoption process is fun and easy and pets can often go home with you the same day. Check the adoption pages of our website to see current photos and information about our adoptable pets. Our Client Care experts are here to help you through the process of finding the perfect match for you. If you have other animals in your home, we will give you tips to help with the introduction process prior to the adoption being finalized. All of our adoptable animals have a comprehensive veterinary exam and all dogs, cats, rabbits, and appropriate pocket pets will be spayed or neutered and microchipped and applicable vaccinations will be up-to-date. Our staff and volunteers will provide you with information for on-going care and training for your new family member. If you feel that the animal you adopted isn’t a good fit, please contact us at 614-777-7387 and we will welcome the animal back. Adoption fees for animals returned within 14 days are refunded minus a $20 processing fee.
