Columbus Dog Connection

Our dog, Howie, came from Columbus Dog Connection and we couldn’t be happier. The foster families truly care about placing the dogs in good homes, and they are able to tell you about the dog because the dogs live in their homes. And now they have cats! Such a great organization.

I have utilized the CDC’s vaccination clinic several times and I wouldn’t even think about going anywhere else unless I moved far away from Columbus. They’re affordable and all-​around awesome folks. You’re in and out of the vaccination clinic in less than 10 minutes. No appointment needed. $ 30 for Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. That’s a steal. Take a look at their wish list on their website and be sure to bring an item with you if you can. These folks do great work, but they need our help!

Great, caring people and a noble cause. We selected our daughter’s shep-​rott buddy from CDC about 7 years ago and have been blessed with a spirited constant companion since. I could go on and on about the merits of this group but it’s best to find out for yourself!

I previously posted that I had received no response. I would like to retract that comment. I did receive a call back from one person. Sorry for the negative post.

The previous review did a great job of describing the CDC. I’ll just add that we got a pet there today, a rescue cat — they do a few of them although dogs are the main focus. The experience we had was excellent — warm, caring, and professional.
I would certainly recommend checking them out to anyone looking to give an animal a loving home.

Columbus Dog Connection is not a physical shelter, but rather a no-​kill rescue organization that saves 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 43 207) 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.
