Overview
The Columbus Humane Essential Care Center dramatically increases access to quality veterinary care and nutritious pet food for our neighbors struggling to get care for the pets they love
Columbus Humane was founded in 1883 by two teachers, Louise Phillips and Harriet Brocklehurst, along with several prominent community leaders. The Humane Society of Columbus was incorporated in December 1883. The name was changed from the Humane Society of the City of Columbus to the Capital Area Humane Society in September 1973. In September 1992, the Capital Area Humane Society moved animals into the present shelter at 3015 Scioto-Darby Executive Court, Hilliard, OH 43026. In September 2017, Capital Area Humane Society was rebranded and the name was changed to Columbus Humane. In October 2018, renovations to improve the quality of life of animals in our care were completed

What reviewers say
The facility provides highly affordable, low-cost veterinary care and features a clean, modern environment paired with an exceptionally compassionate, knowledgeable staff. Services range from wellness exams and vaccinations to surgeries like spays and neuters, dental extractions, and end-of-life care, supplemented by a generous pet food pantry. While the quality of care and pricing receive overwhelming praise, scheduling appointments can be very difficult and wait times can occasionally be quite long.
