Happy Sunday, friends! Today we have a follow-up on Rusty, formerly known as Yukon!

When we first met Rusty he was a little nervous and unsure of his surroundings, but with time, trust, and some really yummy treats, he learned he was safe and his personality began to shine through. His favorite pastimes at the shelter were sniffaris with our dog-walking volunteers and slow introductions with other doggy friends in daily playgroups with our behavior staff. Just a few weeks later, his new family found him and knew it was meant to be.

"He’s brought so much laughter and love to our family, which is exactly what we needed after losing our first dog Ramona. He acts like a third brother and follows our 2 little boys every where they go. He’s such a gentle snuggly pup and always wants to be in the middle of whatever we’re doing.

Rusty plays with a dog in our backyard at the fence line every morning and it’s the cutest! We’re continuing to socialize him and can’t wait for summer adventures as it seems he doesn’t like to go on walks but would rather play for exercise."

It warms our hearts to see Rusty settling in well and being so loved by his new family. Happy tails, Rusty! Sending tons of head rubs and belly scratches your way!

When our pet food pantry faced a critical shortage, our incredible community partners quickly rallied together, delivering truckloads of food and supplies to ensure pets and their families didn’t go without. After the Scioto Southland Civic Association, Life Care Alliance, ASPCA, FedEx, Mid-Ohio Food Collective, Costco Plain City, Hollywood Feed, and Mush’s Bottomless Bowl saw our social media post about running out of cat food and only being able to offer dog food for the following week, they quickly jumped into action. Within days, pallets and vans full of food and essential supplies arrived, allowing us to continue providing much-needed support to pet families in need. Their generosity ensures that the Columbus Humane Essential Care Center Pet Food Pantry can continue serving the more than 106,000 pets living below the poverty line in Franklin County.

Last year alone, our pet food pantry distributed over 684,000 pounds of food and supplies to families in need. Each week, appointments fill up within hours, highlighting the immense demand for this critical resource. Thanks to the kindness of our community partners, we can keep providing these lifesaving resources to pets and their families.

We are incredibly grateful for this outpouring of support and for the compassion of those who stepped up in our time of need. Your generosity has given us an incredible start to the month, and we can’t thank you enough for making a difference in the lives of pets and people in our community.

Help us thank our incredible volunteers at Columbus Humane!

Their dedication to ensuring every dog gets outside for their walks in the rain, ice, below-zero temps, and snow has been nothing short of inspiring. We can't thank you all enough for showing up with love and commitment, making a life-changing difference for each pup in our care. Our furry friends have all gotten their steps in, thanks to you!

Hi friends, meet Nocee. Nocee is a cuddly, playful, and affectionate 3-year-old orange boy who also happens to also be FIV+. He was surrendered by his family in January of this year and was previously found as a stray. Despite all of this, Nocee is an energetic and playful guy with a huge personality. He loves wet food, basking in the sunshine, head scratches, and watching movies with his people. His favorite treats are churus and he goes wild for anything salmon flavored. When a cat is FIV+, it weakens their immune system, making them more prone to illness. Although there is no cure for FIV, many cats live for years without ever developing any full-blown disease and enjoy a great quality of life. FIV cannot be spread to humans and is only spread to other felines via bite, so he needs to find a home where he is the only cat, or with other FIV positive cats. Additionally, Nocee should be strictly indoor-only to reduce the spread of the virus.If you have room in your home and heart for a positively AWESOME cat, it's time to buy plenty of churu and salmon treats to stock his treat cabinet with. Nocee is ready to bring love, warmth, and plenty of snuggles for years to come. Meet him at Columbus Humane today and get ready to open your heart up to a whole lotta love. #wemakecolumbushumane #catlover #adoptme
