Luna has picked out the perfect toy and is ready to be your tug-of-war buddy! Right now, through January 5, all dog adoptions are 25% off! At four years old, Luna is, in our opinion, the perfect age; old enough to have some manners in place, but young enough to know about having a ton of fun. She is very excited to meet you and ready to go home for lots of fetch, walks and get tons of snuggles! Luna likes being close to her human at all hours of the day and will seek attention by nuzzling into you or pawing at you. She enjoys stuffies and chews so make sure to have those on hand. During walks, Luna likes to take in all the different smells and will go on a sniffari for as long as you let her. Since she is very enthusiastic about her outside time, she can forget that she has a human on the other side so you’ll just have to remind her that humans don’t walk as fast; or she’ll tell you to keep up. Luna also has some tricks up her sleeve and knows sit, paw and down! She still has the potential to learn new tricks and would be eager to get started!

At Columbus Humane, we are incredibly fortunate to have volunteers who give their time, heart, and dedication to our mission. They truly embody the spirit of service and compassion, whether its through walking our dogs in the pouring rain, helping work their magic with our senior cats, leading daily enrichment with our rabbits, or showing our kittens love and socialization as they meet the world around them.

In the last year, we've had over 600 volunteers spanning animal care, our foster program, shelter support, photography, and much much more. The animals at Columbus Humane are lucky to have you, and we are even luckier to work alongside you. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for everything you do.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Holiday Photos with Santa event! We had a great time seeing everyone's pets!...

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Holiday Photos with Santa event! We had a great time seeing everyone's pets! Plus, three of our longest residents (Finn, Tyson & Luna) got to meet Santa!

A special thank you to our community for your generous donations – your support helps us continue our mission to fight animal cruelty, help animals in need and advocate for their well-being.

A VERY VERY special thank you to Santa Claus and Puptown Lounge for making this magical day happen. They teamed up with us and collected over $3,000 in contributions that will support animals in need! This is a heavy lift, especially throughout the holiday season and we can't thank them enough! If you're looking for a top-notch place for your pups to hang out at while you're away, our dear friends at Puptown Lounge have all-inclusive dog daycare, grooming, and boarding facilities with locations in Hilliard, Upper Arlington, and North Columbus.

Finn, Luna and Tyson got to meet Santa and tell him all about what they want for the holiday. Spoiler alert, they all asked for lots of peanut butter, belly rubs, and cuddles!

Meet Finn – (large sized mixed-breed, brown) a playful and loving boy who's ready to make memories with his new family. At 2 years-old, he's been with us at the shelter for over 90 days. Finn is a high energy, spunky, curious mixed breed who is ready to be your cheerleader! If you're looking for someone to get you up in the morning with kisses and take you on a walk/run to smell the flowers, Finn is your guy!

Meet Luna – (medium sized mixed-breed, black) a sweet, gentle soul who can't wait to find her new home full of love and joy. At 4 years-old, Luna is great with kids of all ages and is looking for a gentle home where she can rest her paws on your lap. Luna has also been with us for just over 90 days and is ready to settle into her comfy, cozy home.

Meet Tyson - (large sized mixed-breed, black/white) a energetic, loving cuddlebug who loves other dogs! At just 9 months old, Tyson has spent almost a third of his life in the shelter. He would love to join an active home that will give him structure and attention. Although Tyson loves playtime, he's also a certified cuddlebug who enjoys spending plenty of time snuggling up to his humans. Tyson is a stellar playmate and cuddle buddy for other dogs, and he'd be happy to have doggy roommates in his forever home.

Help us spread the word to get these sweethearts to their new homes before the holiday!

Come meet them and many other wonderful animals at Columbus Humane for our Home for the Holidays Adoption Promo! Until January 5th, you can save $50 on cat adoptions or 25% on dogs, rabbits, and pocket pets.

Happy Holidays and thank you for helping us make Columbus Humane!

Happy Sunday friends! Today we have a on Fred and Link, formerly known as Ginger!

"I ended up keeping the name Fred, and naming the boy Link! They’ve been here about 9 weeks and are doing so great! I feel like they’ve been with me forever! Vet says they are doing perfect, and they are getting so big. Link needs much more attention than Fred lol and asks anyone who comes over for love, but Fred loves to cuddle with me and sleep under the covers all night! I never come home to them not together. Fred loves her spot at the very top of the cat tree. Link is so fluffy, I thought his fur would thin out a little but I swear everyday he gets more fur. Vet says he’s definitely going to be long haired all over instead of medium like we thought. We are a happy little family and I’m so grateful for them, even though I never get a moment alone lol! Happy holidays Columbus Humane!"

We're so happy to see you both thriving! Happy tails Fred and Link!

The Gilbert Group volunteered as a team to create enrichment items for our cats and dogs—one of their favorite parts of the day! They brought so much joy, making tails wag and whiskers twitch with excitement. Plus, they gave Finn and Oreo the best time ever!

We are so grateful they took the time to learn more about our shelter and mission. Thank you, Gilbert Group!

UPDATE: Chocolate has been adopted!

Meet Chocolate, a 2 year-old mixed-breed girl full of sweetness. Recently, one of our volunteers took her for a field trip full of car rides, snow, and plenty of outside time. She had a blast!

Since Chocolate can be nervous and timid, she is spending her time in a quieter back room at Columbus Humane to make her stay here a little less loud and stressful.

Although Chocolate can be a little shy at first, as she gets to know you, she opens up and shows you that sweet personality and adorable little wiggly body. Chocolate is a very playful girl, and at only 2 years old, she is the perfect age to know how to have plenty of fun playing, yet enjoy down time and taking it slow.

She enjoys playing and snuggling both with human and dog friends, and she's quite a social butterfly when it comes to other pups. Chocolate is an eager-to-please pup who loves to learn new things, and she's a great fit for someone who enjoys the journey of training dogs.

Looking for your next running partner? Chocolate might be the one! Ask an adoptions counselor if you'd like to meet her!

The baby guinea pigs have been named! Thank you to everyone who participated!

Sugar... spice... and everything nice... these were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little guinea pigs. This time, though, we ran out of Chemical X, so these three really DID turn out perfect! Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are a trio of two daughters and a mama pig looking for their new home. When they’re not fighting crime and protecting Columbus from all manner of villainy, you can find these girls snuggled up in a hutch together or enjoying some fresh veggies. If you need some superpowered super-piggies in your home, come meet these three today!

Foster update! Tyson and his temporary sister are already besties 🧡

Meet Tyson - This sweet, active, 8-month-old puppy is on the lookout for his new family. Tyson has been with us at Columbus Humane for just under 2 months, but hasn’t found his new family yet. He warms up to new people fast, and as soon as he gets to know you, he’s all over you, asking for attention and treats! Tyson would love to join an active home that wants to shower him with love and attention.

Tyson is living it up in a foster home right now, so you can ask an adoptions counselor if you’d like to schedule a meeting with him
