    We just adopted our wonderful rescue dog from CDC. The shelter is amazing and the staff is so…read morecaring and generous with all of the animals at the shelter. If you are looking to adopt a dog or a cat this is the place.

    Columbus Dog Connection is not a physical shelter, but rather a no-kill rescue organization that…read moresaves dogs from abandonment or abuse by placing them in foster homes until they are found permanent homes. They also take dogs scheduled for euthanasia away from over-populated humane societies and animal control shelters. The CDC website serves as a hub or network of humane organizations and adoption agencies. It represents loads of rescues and services throughout Ohio and links into lists of pets up for adoption, including those fostered specifically by CDC volunteers. It also provides links to adoptions events, reference phone numbers, and legisislative information. Local businesses and fundraisers help keep this fabulous non-profit organization afloat. Mingle with the Mutts is a popular 'mixer' for people and dogs at the Franklin County Dog Shelter (1731 Alum Creek Drive, Columbus 43207) on the first and third Sundays of the month. They take the Mingle outdoors to various parks and other venues during the summer months. It's a great way to see how the dogs interact and also help keep the shelter dogs socialized. The address listed above is the location to which you can send donations. It is not a physical shelter. If you have any questions, email the head honcho- Kellie Difrischia- KDifrischia@yahoo.com. She's a super sweet person with a huge heart for our canine friends.

    I adopted Riley in September, 2020. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is, I do…read morebelieve that from the time of application submission to hearing from someone, should be shorter. That being said, it's clearly stated on the application that it may take 10 days to hear from a volunteer and that's exactly how long it took for me. Once I did hear back I was then put in touch with the foster mom, who was absolutely wonderful! We communicated on a regular basis. We met at a park, we then scheduled a home visit, and we then adopted the most AMAZING boy! All of that happened over the course of a few weeks, but that's not out of the ordinary at all. I was also told by the foster mom, right up front, there was another family interested in him and going through the process as well. So if they would have won out, that's just life, regardless of how far I was in the process. Most of these dogs come from really bad circumstances, so an exhaustive process to find the perfect home SHOULD be done and they SHOULD be picky. I couldn't be happier!

    When I adopted my dog I was so impressed with the lengths they went to before the actual adoption…read more They actually contacted my veterinarian to make sure the dog I used to have was current on all his vaccinations. There was a question about his Simparica Trio so they reached out to me for clarification. Then one of their volunteers came to my house to make sure it passed the dog friendly test. We had a visit with the dog we ended up adopting. It was all very thorough and I couldn't be more pleased with the whole process. They know their foster dog went to a loving home and I felt good knowing they wouldn't adopt out if it wasn't the right fit. This rescue is all volunteers who just want to find good homes for unhoused dogs.

    Easy over the phone scheduling. I was able to get an appointment two weeks out for a kitten I got…read more On the day of the appointment drop off was between 7A and 8A. Easy enough and I was immediately greeted upon my arrival by the friendly staff. Was told my kitten would be done between four and five o'clock and they'd call when he was ready to be picked up. All day goes by and no phone call. Is the poor guy okay? Thoughts of him even dying crossed my mind! It was finally 5pm and I still hadn't heard anything so i called them. Tara? Nonchalantly stated, "Oh sorry, guess I forgot to call. All the animals are awake and ready to be picked up." I busted butt to get there before they closed at 6pm. The girl at the desk was extremely nice and explained my kittens aftercare to a 'T'. Yes the location isn't in the best part of town. Yes the building isn't the fanciest or most modern. If u want those things, go to a vet office but I guarantee you the price will be double or triple. The staff here is great and I'm confident their work is just as good as anywhere else for a lot less $$$. Would be a 5 star review if not for the "forgotten" phone call. I would not hesitate to take another pet there in the future if the need arises.

    I have used this place when it was on Hamilton Road. I use them now that they are on Livingston…read moreAve. Yes its small and yes it can get busy. However my animals have always been treated well and I trust them. I don't complain about having to wait because it is worth it. Dr. Rose saved my baby Bradys life when he couldn't even walk. When she got thru with him he was walking and running. I would highly recommend this place ! would give them 5 Stars

    I need to be middle-of-the-road for the stars as Conner and Becky, two of the techs I am familiar…read morewith, are commendable in their duties. Dr. Kaser, however, will only do exactly what he wants, and he let it be known that he "does not want to be a third wheel in the care of Harry", my 13 yo Pomeranian. I chose this practice blindly since I was moving almost next door to them, up from Worthington OH to Delaware OH. One of my first questions to him was to ascertain if he was willing to be our primary vet when Harry's care came under a cardiologist at OSU. All cardiologists will diagnose and determine the medicines necessary, blood tests, etc. that are to be turned over to the primary vet for carrying out the orders from the cardiologist. This is common practice. Dr. Kaser is not interested in being a part of a team effort to keep my dog alive and has said he does not want to be a part of anything to harm my dog. Well, withholding critical tests and refusing to prescribe per the cardiologists requests, in my opinion, is harming my dog as long as I choose to stay, which I will no longer darken his door. Harry, a 13 yo Pomeranian, has been to OSU Cardiology/ER twice since July and COVE ER 5 times and each time came back with progressive heart issues that require targeted medication and blood work. Now I am stuck here in mid winter with no place to go since the places I've called are not taking new patients right now. So COVE generously will take Harry in for his required blood work to determine if he is taking the medicine at a safe level, and when weather breaks I will have to drive almost 20 miles to his old vet in Worthington - The Vet Clinic - who have stepped up for Harry's care on numerous occasions when Dr. Taser would not intervene on Harry's behalf. If you do not ever think you will require a specialist for your beloved pet, then this would be the place to go - as I said, Conner and Becky are superb techs and Harry loves them. But if you someday think you will require a Team, go elsewhere, as there is no "I" in TEAM.

    Family member took their dog here. This place is amazing!!!!! My family member called over 6 places…read moreand they would not squeeze their sick dog in. Even the vet they usually go to denied them! but they finally saw this place recommended In a Facebook group and this place said yess! They made time to squeeze their dog in. They saved her life I would say!!!! They explained the conditions very throughly and answered all questions. They did a great job of care and they didn't give up when a test came back negative and dug for answers which is amazing!!!!They are the best and I recommend them to anyone and now they will continue to see this vet! They truly care about animals! They are very affordable as well!!!
