Our Mission
Mission Statement
The mission of the Columbus Dog Connection is to improve the lives of cats and dogs in Ohio by focusing on:
• Ending the overpopulation of unwanted cats and dogs through high quality, low cost spay/neuter services.
• Impacting the lives of unwanted and homeless dogs and cats through rescue, foster, and adoption.
• Providing support and resources to our community and other animal welfare organizations in need.
Our Programs
• Rescue, foster, and re-home stray and unwanted dogs and cats. Do our part to end the suffering of dogs and cats, with emphasis on abandoned, inured, and chained animals.
• Provide permanent foster home or hospice to elderly, ill, un-adoptable foster dogs and cats
• Operate as a quasi-cat shelter
• Operate an aggressive spay/neuter program throughout Ohio to help end pet overpopulation by offering low cost spay/neuter services at our location in Columbus and traveling in our mobile spay/neuter clinic “The Andy” to rural counties throughout Ohio
Adoption Policy
Requirements for Adoption:
Must live in the Central Ohio area. For rescues/shelters across Ohio, visit: ColumbusDogConnection.com/RescuesShelters.html
Must be over the age of 24 to adopt.
Your resident pets must be spayed/neutered.
Adoption Process:
We do not have an application. Adoptions are pet-adopter driven.
To meet our pets: Call our office at 614-471-9000 or click on the pet which you are interested in and send email.
We are happy to discuss the adoption process. The foster dogs are in foster homes and most of the cats reside at our office.
The adoption process includes a lease manager reference (if applicable) , a veterinarian reference, and a home-visit (in-person or virtual).
If you've never owned a pet, part of our adoption process requires that you call several vet offices to compare services, prices, and availability. Questions to ask include:
How many doctors are at your practice?
Can I request to see a specific Vet or would I be scheduled with first available?
What are your hours?
How much is: annual exam, heartworm test & tablets, an x-ray, vaccines, a non-emergency office call?
Do you recommend vaccines every year or every three years? (every 3 yrs as suggested by the AVMA)
The pooch that visits your home will go back home with us to allow your family to discuss and ensure he/she is a good fit for your home.
There is an adoption agreement and adoption fees are as follows:
$300 for Adult Dogs (6yrs & younger)
$200 for Senior Dogs (7 yrs and older)
$80 for Cats
All pets are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm tested (dogs), fiv/leukemia tested (cats), & micro-chipped.
Known medical conditions are discussed at time of inquiry.
