Looking for a new little friend? At Columbus Humane, every rabbit in our care receives daily enrichment, love, and attention to keep them happy and healthy while they wait for their forever homes. Each rabbit is spayed or neutered before adoption, preventing unplanned litters and protecting more lives.

In 2024 alone, we helped over 90 rabbits find loving homes! You can make a difference by meeting our adoptables and giving them the second chance they deserve. Stop by and find your perfect companion today.

Looking for some sweetness in your life? Then come meet Benji! This wonderful young pup is eager to greet every human with excited tail wags and full-body wiggles. He will need proper socialization and training as he grows in order to become the best canine-citizen he can be, and we are confident he will bring lots of light and love into his future forever-home.

Bringing home a puppy? Here's a few quick tips:

- Create a dedicated "den" space with a crate or a safe zone free from other animals in the house. Keep in mind that it should be small enough to trigger their brain to recognize that it’s their den, but obviously not so small that it’s uncomfortable. Make it a happy place with special toys and treats.

- Puppies can’t typically hold their bladders for extended periods, so make accommodations for them to get outside regularly as often as you can. Whenever they p**p outside, reward them with praise and treats.

- Never strike your puppy or rub their nose when they have accidents (or in general). They can’t sort out fear of your handling from what you’re trying to convey, so they’ll just learn to fear you when you seem upset. If you see them start to posture for elimination, quickly scoop them up, place them on the spot you prefer they go potty, and reward them when they are finished.

- Keep the ASPCA Poison Control number nearby: (888) 426-4435

A big thank you to the Ohio Supreme Court for hosting Columbus Humane (and superstar pup, Lola!) at their event today! Lola had the best day—meeting new friends and soaking up plenty of pets and head rubs.

Together, the Court helped raise over $1,200 for pets in need right here in Columbus!

We also want to give a huge shoutout to Scott, our incredible volunteer who brought Lola to the event and supports Columbus Humane in so many ways—we couldn’t do this work without you.

Lola is back at our shelter in Hilliard and can’t wait to meet her future family. Come visit and see why everyone fell in love with her today.

Thank you again to the Ohio Supreme Court for the warm welcome and support for animals!
