Do you like working with animals and people? Then we might be the place for you!
The Columbus Humane mission is to fight animal cruelty, help animals in need and advocate for their well-being. We have been doing it since 1883, when our primary task was to help woman, children and carriage horses. Today, we are a team of experts — skilled, caring and innovative people dedicated to our mission. Our vision is for all animals live free of suffering and all companion animals are valued members of loving and caring families. But we can’t do it alone. Join us, and together, we’ll continue making history. Learn more about us here.

““I love that at any given moment, no matter what is happening in the world around us, our work does not cease. We have a mission and a duty to help our surrounding community, and we come to work every day with this at the forefront of our minds””
“A good balance of fast-paced and quiet, with usually enough time to catch up between major projects. Teamwork is excellent, everyone pitches in to get work done when needed. Can be really fun with unexpected animals coming in daily, can also be stressful for same reason. Animals are very well taken care of.”
“Amazing group of people who work together to achieve a common goal and mission for the animals in our care. I have not been here that long but, each day I in am in awe of the staff and the care that we are able to provide for a very vulnerable population.”
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Columbus Humane
Columbus Humane stands for kindness and respect for all living beings and we are staunch advocates for protection of the Five Freedoms. For Columbus to be truly humane, all of our friends, neighbors and families must have these freedoms and they simply do not. The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Work Group at Columbus Humane was created in an effort do our part to make Columbus Humane. That means recognizing bias, extinguishing injustice, defending victims of cruelty and holding each other accountable for our actions. As an employee, you will have the opportunity to join groups like this that advocate for those under represented in our community. Learn more here.
