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? 
    • What vaccines do you recommend for dogs (or cats) in this area?          
  • 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.
