Meet Nico!

Nico is a 9-month-old bundle of energy and love who’s looking for the perfect family to help him thrive. Surrendered through no fault of his own, Nico is still building confidence, so he’ll do best with experienced dog owners who are committed to training and providing structure.

This fun-loving pup needs a calm household with no cats and kids over 10. Nico would shine with a family who can take him on adventures, play fetch endlessly, and give him plenty of attention. He’s a puppy at heart, gets excited easily, and has a huge heart to match—making him an ideal hiking or adventure buddy for an active, loving home.

If you’re ready for a high-energy pup who will keep up with your adventures and shower you with love, come meet Nico today!

Meet Prince!

At just 3 years old, Prince is still figuring out the world—but one thing he knows for sure is how much he loves people. With his goofy charm and endless affection, its hard not to fall in love!

We think he may be a lab/retriever mix, but what matters most is the joy he brings to every room. Prince thrives on human connection, soaking up every bit of attention and giving love right back.

Since arriving at Columbus Humane through a cruelty investigation, Prince has been working hard with our behavior team. He’s already mastered “sit” and is making great progress on “down.” He’s learning not to pull on leash, takes treats gently, and happily redirects with high-value snacks when overexcited. His eagerness to learn and love of treats make him a great fit for a first-time dog owner or a family ready to give him plenty of love.

Prince does dream of being the only dog in the home—after all, every prince deserves his own kingdom. He’s still polishing up on his manners, but with his big heart and determination, he’s ready to be someone’s loyal companion.

Prince has no known history with children or cats.

If you’re ready to give Prince the throne he deserves, come meet him today!

🚨 Scam Alert 🚨

We’ve been alerted to fraudulent calls from people pretending to be Columbus Humane staff.

Scammers may:
-Claim we’ve found your lost pet and demand money for its return
-Request deposits over the phone for veterinary services
-Say your pet was found injured and needs costly emergency surgery and ask for an emergency deposit over the phone.

These are scams. Columbus Humane will never ask for payment this way. All fees are handled in person at our locations.

If you get a call like this, do not share personal or financial information. Verify any concerns by calling us directly at 614-777-7387.

2,000 Pets (and Counting!) Vaccinated at Our Community Clinics This Year!

This summer, we set a big goal: vaccinate 2,000 pets across our community. And thanks to you—we did it! At our Historic Crew Stadium Clinic, we celebrated protecting our 2,000th pet of the year.

Vaccinating pets isn’t just about protecting individual animals—it’s about building a healthier community for everyone. Vaccines prevent the spread of dangerous diseases, keeping pets and people safe. When more pets are protected, we all benefit.

At this clinic alone, over 500 pets were vaccinated and 13,000 lbs. of pet food were distributed to families in need. None of this would be possible without the generosity of Valley Ford of Columbus, who made free vaccines possible, and Bone Dry Roofing - Columbus, who ensured pets went home with full bellies. A special thank you as well to our partners at PetSmart for helping maximize the impact of pet food distribution at this event.
