Featured Dog
Little Girl recently joined the CHS family. She came from a home
that just had too many cats and they were unable to care for her
properly. The family made the right choice for her. This little lady is
two years old and just an absolute love bug. Her foster mother tells
us that one of her favorite things to do is to be held and hugged.
Little Girl does well with other cats, and has had exposure to dogs
and seems to do well with them. If we place her in a home with
another cat, we will request that it be a male. She is the right
amount of sweet and playful. If you're looking to add a new friend to
your family please consider this very sweet girl. If you are interest-
ed in meeting her we ask that you please email adoption@columbi-
ahumane.org in order to obtain an adoption application. Once you
have an approved application on file we will then schedule a time
for you to come and meet her. Please note that our preferred
method of contact is via email, as most of our time is spent with our
animals and we can easily answer emails on the go. The adoption fee is $125 which includes her spay,
current vaccinations, treatment for fleas and worms, and microchip.

Jango is a young, energetic 2 year old
Staffordshire Terrier mix. This guy is full of life
and full of energy. He will need a family that is
patient and will be willing to work with him. He is your
typical two year old puppy that hasn’t had a lot of
guidance in his life. He loves to play and seems to do
well with other dogs. However, due to him being a male
we are only willing to place him with a female dog that is
active and who can put up with his antics. We have no
intel on how he will be with cats. Due to his excitement
level we would only suggest placing him with kids that
are over 12 years old. He is wiggly and doesn’t always
know his size. If you are interested in meeting Jango we
ask that you please email adoption@columbiahu-
mane.org in order to obtain an application. His adoption
fee is $250 which includes his neuter, microchip, and
current vaccinations. All adoptions are done by
appointment only, with an approved application on file.
