Meet Bam Bam, a 5-month-old pointy-eared pup ready to find his person.

Bam Bam is a curious, playful young dog discovering the world one adventure at a time. Like many puppies his age, he’s full of energy, personality, and a growing love for exploration—whether that’s new places, new smells, or new friends along the way.

He’s currently thriving in a foster home where he’s building confidence and learning all the puppy basics alongside his resident foster dog. He’s been doing great, spending his days playing at the park, meeting other dogs, and soaking up new experiences as he grows into an incredible companion.

Bam Bam is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations—ready to start his next chapter with a family who will keep cheering him on as he grows.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, adventurous pup with a big heart, Bam Bam might be your match.

To learn more or schedule a meet and greet, reach out to Columbus Humane at [email protected]

Bam Bam’s adoption has been generously sponsored by our friends at Bone Dry Roofing, helping more pets find loving homes and families.

Happy tails, Kim!

After stealing the hearts of everyone she met at Columbus Humane, this lovable 6-year-old German Shepherd has officially found her new family.

Kim came to us with a big personality, an even bigger heart, and plenty of love to share. From showing off her impressive German cues to making new friends wherever she went, she reminded us every day what a special dog she is. We are thrilled that she has found a loving home where she can enjoy adventures, snuggles and all the happiness she deserves.

Thanks to Bone Dry Roofing, Kim's adoption fee was covered as part of their commitment to removing barriers to adoption in our community. Partnerships like this make a life-changing difference for pets and the people who ready to love them.

Congratulations to Kim and her new family. We couldn't be happier for this sweet girl as she begins her next chapter!

Many of you have been following the story of our sweet Jelly Bean, who came into our care last Friday after being brought to Columbus Humane by our Humane Agents. She was found alone in her home and in critical condition after being without care for an extended period of time.

Today, after careful evaluation by our veterinary team, we took the most compassionate next step in her care: we made the difficult decision to say goodbye.

Jelly Bean’s condition continued to rapidly deteriorate, and treatment was no longer able to keep her comfortable or improve her quality of life. To prevent further suffering, our team provided her with a peaceful and humane passing.

Our hearts are with everyone who has been touched by Jelly Bean’s story. While we are saddened this loss, we find comfort in knowing that her final days were spent surrounded by kindness, comfort and love. She was cared for by a team that was committed to her well-being every step of the way, and she was held close in the thoughts of so many friends like you.

To everyone who donated, shared her story or sent words of encouragement, thank you. Your support makes it possible for Columbus Humane to be there for animals when they need us most, providing compassionate care and a safe place to turn. Because of you, future animals in need will receive the dignity, comfort and love they deserve.

Celebrate National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month with Columbus Humane!
 
It’s National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, and honestly? Your future best friend might be waiting for you right now.

While kittens get a lot of attention this time of year, adult cats are seriously underrated. Whether you’re looking for a sweet chaotic house panther, a world-class nap champion, or a cuddle bug who thinks personal space is optional, we’ve got a cat for that.
 
✨June is for the cats ✨
 
Adult cat adoption fees are 50% off every Friday in June, and every cat adoption all month long (yes, kittens too) automatically enters you into a raffle to win either:

- Cat Exercise Wheel 🐈
- 54” Cat Tree 🪾
 
Want extra entries? You can grab additional raffle tickets with a donation:
$5 = 1 ticket
$20 = 5 tickets
 
The best part? When you adopt, you’re not just bringing home a new family member. You’re also making room for another animal to receive the care and support they need.
 
Now we want to hear from you:
If you’ve adopted an adult cat from Columbus Humane (or anywhere), what made them “the one”?
Tell us in the comments. Your story could be the reason someone else decides to give an adult cat a chance.
 
Please share and let’s get these amazing cats the homes they deserve.
 
Pictured in order: Amelia, Ace, April, Bashair, Carbon, Cici, Diesel, Frankie, Fredrica, Fritzie, Jazzie, Kimchi, Leo, Leslie, Lydia, Mia, Momo, Petunia, Shawna, Simba, Tati
 
Raffle winners will be selected at the conclusion of National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month. Additional raffle ticket donations support the care of animals at Columbus Humane.

Earlier today, our Humane Agents responded after a dog was discovered inside a home after her caregiver was unexpectedly taken to the hospital. Left alone, 5-year Jelly Bean’s condition had rapidly deteriorated.

Jelly Bean was unable to stand when agents located her. Our team immediately rushed her to Columbus Humane.

Upon arrival this afternoon, Jelly Bean required immediate emergency medical intervention. She is extremely emaciated, weighing just over 4 pounds. She arrived soiled, severely matted, and unable to see due to matting over her eyes. Our veterinary team provided immediate fluids and began stabilization and intensive supportive care. We carefully cleared her eyes and are managing her discomfort.

Jelly Bean remains in critical condition and will require intensive medical care over the coming days as we work to support her recovery.

As sad as this story is, please know that Jelly Bean is no longer suffering. While her future isn’t guaranteed, she’s entering a new chapter — one where she’s receiving the love, comfort and second chance she deserves.

Cases like Jelly Bean’s are why our Humane Agents and veterinary teams respond every day—to intervene in moments of crisis and provide lifesaving care when animals have nowhere else to turn.

But we cannot be here for animals like Jelly Bean without our community.

If you are able, please consider making a lifesaving donation today at bit.ly/4ugM7hS. Your support makes it possible to be there for animals like Jelly Bean when they need us most.
