What a wonderful organization who helps us humans help our animal friends in times of need. When 9…read moremallard ducklings were abandoned by their parents at our condo I was worried & unsure about what the appropriate course of action would be. I called & left a voicemail which was returned promptly. Their staff person gave me detailed, specific instructions on how to best assist these cutie patooties until the morning as they were closing for the day. These instructions including information about this type of duckling & issues they encounter, appropriate shelter options & general care tips. I loaded the 9 ducklings into my car at 8:30am so that I could be there promptly when they opened at 9:00am. I rang the bell to notify them of my arrival & was greeted promptly & warmly. The staff provided me with an intake form that allowed for me to describe in detail what brought the animals there. Once that was complete I turned them over to their care where they will be receiving a medical evaluation & care. If possible they will be become part of another mallard family or they will likely be fostered. This is such a valuable service for these types of situations. I am an animal lover, so I am ever grateful for the opportunity that Ohio Wildlife Center provides to rescue those in need.

The leadership was great at communicating throughout the recruitment process. At the event, all staff members who worked with the volunteers loved doing so and the volunteers had great feed back too. I've also had the pleasure of volunteering myself. I love that the group offers a variety of organizations to become involved with. The flexibility has provided me a volunteer experience that works with my schedule. The other volunteers have always been wonderful and I know I'll continue to volunteer and recommend to friends. Thanks to Columbus Gives Back!

Wonderful concept...one time volunteer projects, meet people and then hang out with the group after (drinks, lunch, etc.) My favorite things about this group: 1. Flexibility - you can sign up to help out whenever you want. Once a week or once a year. I've added my name to events the night before if there were still open spots. It's great for my schedule. 2. The People - great way to make new friends and network. Very caring and enjoyable group of people to be around. Juliana, the group founder, and her team of project leaders help newbies feel welcome. 3. Causes - wide range of volunteer projects. You can choose to help with projects that matter to you. This is always important to me when choosing volunteer groups. "It's service with a social twist." I recommend this group to all of my friends and I definitely recommend it to all my Yelp-ers. Get on the newsletter and get involved :)

I was interested in one cat, but they were very pushy in trying to get another older cat adopted that was nothing like the cat we were interested in.

The process was unnecessarily long, complicated, and frustrating from start to end. We were asked to fill out a form and provide an excessive amount of personal information, only for them to reach out 2 days later to schedule a meeting... which they canceled. Not once. Not twice. Three times. By the fourth attempt, we honestly should've taken that as a sign. When we finally made it to the Zoom call, we mentioned that we already have a cat, which we thought would help speed things up. Somehow, it did the opposite. We were told we had to submit our cat's vaccination records, and IF AND ONLY IF those were approved, we might be allowed to meet the kitten two weeks later, since she was in a foster home. At that point, we were done. We didn't send anything. Instead, we drove straight to the Humane Society. And what a difference. We walked in, met the most adorable kitten on the planet, petted her, filled out some basic paperwork, and were treated like normal, trustworthy people, not suspects under investigation. We walked out with our kitten in under two hours. This place was completely unserious, wildly inefficient, and a total waste of time.

I don't like the claustrophobic feeling because everything is displayed so close together and I HATE the smell of thrift stores. With that being said, this thrift store is different. The lay out is much better. There is actually space to walk without running into things. The quality of merchandise is better. My husband & I bought a BRAND NEW tv stand for $100. AND it was assembled. You can't beat that price. They also have kitchen sets (tables & chairs), couches, loveseats, and just about any type of furniture you can think of. The people here are super nice and very helpful. They have some great finds. Highly recommended.

The adoption fee may seem somewhat pricey, but it covers shots/immunizations/spay or neuter and even microchipping. The fact that all their animals are in foster homes may discourage potential customers, but the foster parents bring the animal to you before the adoption is finalized, that way you get a chance to interact with them, the animal gets a chance to meet you and your family, plus other pets that might be in the household. Please if you are considering becoming pet parents, check PetPromise out during your search, you will not be disappointed!
