Stop the Suffering
Our Mission
Stop the Suffering (STS) is a Columbus, Ohio based nonprofit that exists to rescue and transport dogs and cats from high-kill rural shelters in southern Ohio, northern Kentucky and West Virginia to rescues including STS where they can be adopted.
We raise funds for critical and routine veterinary care, vaccinations, transportation and food for rescue animals in both foster care and rural shelters.
Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, fecal/deworming, negative heartworm, vaccines and prevention up to date. Ohio residents only.
STS is a foster based, volunteer run, rescue. As such, we do not have a physical location or hours for you meet any foster dog and it does take time to answer each inquiry. All dogs are in homes and once an application is approved and a home visit is complete you are able to schedule meet and greets with available dogs. We encourage interested individuals to get approved prior to searching as it helps expedite the process. A petfinder inquiry is not a substitute for an application. For detailed information about our adoption process including fees please visit our website at http://www.stopthesuffering.org.
