on Gertrude! She’s living her best life with a family that adores her.

“Gertrude is doing wonderful! Every day she shows us more of her personality! She had a minor ear surgery for an ear hematoma but has been recovering well. With the support of our vet, we also started her weight loss journey! We’ve started the introduction to the cats, and though she has shown some resource-guarding behaviors, we are taking things extra slow to make sure both the cats and Gertie feel secure and can enjoy their home together. She likes going on her walks where we do some training, but her favorite thing is sleeping in her bed or sprawled out on the cool floor.

We’re so grateful to have Gertie in our lives and our family!”

Enjoy the good life, friend!

We're excited to be celebrating the one year anniversary of the opening of The Columbus Humane Essential Care Center!

The Essential Care Center opened on August 24, 2023, in an effort to help meet the needs of the more than 106,000 pets living below the poverty line in Franklin County. In the last year, we've distributed almost 700,000 lbs. of food and litter to families in need, served more than 5,000 dogs and cats with low cost veterinary services, and impacted more than 60,000 lives and counting!

Located on South High Street, the Essential Care Center offers low-cost veterinary care, a pet food pantry, and classes to help develop the future veterinary workforce. It's the only center of its kind in the United States combining these three critical community services.

We cannot thank our generous community enough for making this crucial resource possible. A special thank you to our integral supporters of the Essential Care Center; The Wolfe Associates, The Davis Foundation, and Alterra Real Estate Advisors. Another special thank you to our largest pet food supplier Greater Good Charities, and to our Pathways program partners, Jewish Family Services, and Aspire.

If you'd like to support the Essential Care Center, please consider donating at columbushumane.org/give

on Bodhi! He’s doing amazing in his new home with a family that loves him.

“He’s definitely settled into our family and is a very quick learner! Bodhi can sit, lay down and give paw when tempted with a treat. He loves to be outside and spends as much time as he can chasing whatever bug or toy he can find! Sticks are definitely a favorite of his but loves to snuggle up on the couch with whoever he can find! He’s such a great addition to our family - life’s just better with a dog!”

Bodhi came to Columbus Humane after a Good Samaritan took in a stray mama dog getting ready to have puppies. Mom and puppies all found new families.

Happy Tails Bodhi and enjoy the good life!

We are back to share another the heartwarming Adoption Story of Dot from the most recent Columbus Humane Newsletter:

Dot, Diesel's sister, also met her new family the same night her brother did.

"I’m a staunch cat person, with two rescue cats. But everything changed when I attended a Columbus Humane event in May and met Dot. As a longtime supporter and a board member, I’ve attended countless events without bringing home a dog.

Among a pile of nine black-and-white puppies, the smallest one with a dot on her head stole my heart. As a first-time dog owner, I had many questions and Columbus Humane provided advice and support. I also signed up for the Columbus Humane Puppy Class, which was a lifesaver. Dot learned socialization and basic commands like “sit” and her name.”

Donate today to help more pets like Dot have their happy ending. Thank you to our community for their generous support! https://form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/columbus-humane/julynewslettersocial

We’re thrilled to share the heartwarming Adoption Story of Diesel from the most recent Columbus Humane Newsletter:

It was love at first site when Diesel met his new mom Leslie at a Columbus Humane adoption event. Diesel was apart of a litter of 8 puppies that were recently surrendered to Columbus Humane to find new homes. Leslie's family, including two boxers, had always dreamed of adding a small dog to their home.

"Having Diesel has filled our home with so much joy and laughter. Every day brings new opportunities to bond with him and learn his little personality. We are grateful to Columbus Humane for the solid foundation they provided him."

Columbus Humane is fortunate to have played a part in Diesel’s journey and it warms our hearts to see him settling into his new family. A huge thank you to everyone who supports our mission—as a nonprofit, your dedication makes stories like this possible.

Donate today to help more pets like Diesel find their happy ending. https://form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/columbus-humane/julynewslettersocial
