The Columbus Animal Care and Control Center, within the Special Enforcement Division, provides animal control services for the citizens of Columbus and cares for approximately 8,400 stray, abandoned, and surrendered animals per year. 

The Animal Control section within the Special Enforcement Division is comprised of one Animal Control Supervisor,  (9) Animal Control Officers, One Shelter Supervisor and four (4) Animal Control Tech.’s.  The employees within this section are tasked with enforcing all local codes and ordinances and state laws governing animal health and welfare as well as efficiently maintaining the Animal Care and Control Center.

The Animal Care and Control Center was built in 1978.  It is comprised of 28 runs (including quarantine and sick runs), 32 cat cages and an outside puppy pen (daytime use only and when weather permits).  Our runs are indoor/outdoor runs with the guillotine doors allowing the animals the freedom of being inside the building or outside the building. 



For the 2006 fiscal year, 7,905 animals were impounded, new homes were found for 762 animals and 707 animals were reunited with their owners. 


We want every healthy animal impounded at the center to be adopted into good homes. Therefore, we are actively seeking animal lovers to adopt these animals. If you are interested in adopting an animal, please contact our office at: (706) 561-8602.

The Columbus Animal Care and Control Center assists with these issues:

  • Adoption of stray and unwanted animals

  • Temporary shelter for lost/unwanted animals.

  • Reunite owners with lost pets.

  • Have-A-Heart traps to catch nuisance animals.

  • Humane euthanasia of unwanted animals.

  • Pickup of dead and unwanted animals.

  • Enforce city ordinance and state laws pertaining to domestic animals.
