About Columbia Humane Society
The Columbia Humane Society is a local animal shelter that has received mixed reviews from the community. While some adopters have had positive experiences, such as receiving excellent care for their adopted pets and helpful information about the adoption process, others have reported rude and condescending behavior from the staff. The shelter has been criticized for having strict policies that are not clearly communicated, such as not allowing the adoption of male dogs if the adopter already has a male dog, or only allowing the adoption of small dogs for renters. Some reviewers have suggested exploring other shelters and rescues in the area, as they may have more flexible and transparent adoption procedures. Despite the mixed reviews, the Columbia Humane Society has also received praise for its dedication to animal welfare. One adopter expressed deep gratitude for the shelter's role in placing their beloved pet, who they cared for until the end. Overall, the experiences at the Columbia Humane Society seem to vary, and potential adopters are encouraged to research the shelter's policies and approach before visiting.

We got the cutest little kittens there and the process was smooth, they work with me when i couldn’t do pick up for the kittens after they got spray and held them for an extra day. The staff i have work with always been nice and sweet to me.

They take such good care of their animals. They do everything in their power to get them into forever homes, not just homes of convenience. I've started fostering with them and can't say enough good things. They do amazing things for these animals and families.

Used to be when we dropped off food, towels, etc. that there were always volunteers around... Now seems like it's usually just animal control.
Various other changes makes me wonder if it's gone from being a combo animal shelter / county animal control to just the county pound. 🤷♂️
