Hear from Dr. Laura Advent

“As a veterinarian for Columbus Humane, no two days are alike. They may include everything from treating kitten boogers to advanced surgical procedures to sharing my passion for the profession by teaching the next generation of veterinary students. I have true autonomy over the veterinary care I provide without the unfortunate stressors of profit driven veterinary business practices. Most importantly, working for Columbus Humane has allowed me to have a meaningful impact on the people and animals of my community.” - Dr. Laura Advent, Direct of Veterinary Services

Hear from Jess Em, RVT

“Having the ability to nurse sick animals back to health and see them put up for adoption is what inspires me to continue my work in shelter med. Helping not only animals, but helping our community as well is the reason I love working for Columbus Humane. I feel like I'm actually making an impactful difference and I love seeing all of the different types of animals every day, whether it be dogs, cats, snakes, or pigs.” - Jess Em, Registered Veterinary Technician
