Dear Columbus Humane Community,

As a fundraising professional, my work at the end of the year rises to meet the generosity of the community that surrounds me. For Columbus Humane, we are continuously overwhelmed with gratitude for the individuals, families, companies, and foundations who prioritize our work in their giving at year end. They do this by offering in-kind support for our most needed supplies, making donations in honor of their pet-loving friends, hosting a work-place supply or donation drive or making a gift to support a pet family in need this holiday season.

Thursday, November 17, 2022 – Columbus Humane is offering a reward of $5,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for two separate, violent acts of animal cruelty.

The first incident occurred on Monday morning of November 14, 2022 on the West Side of Columbus, On Butler Avenue between Safford Avenue and W Mound Street. The Columbus Division of Police contacted Columbus Humane after an adult, male German Shepherd named Brutus was found victim to a gunshot wound. He was shot in the head and is expected to make a full recovery.

Through your incredible support, so much has been happening at Columbus Humane! Read more below in our October Newsletter. Thank you for your support and making Columbus Humane
