Help Us Build a Home Where Hope Lives

The PetPromise Pet Connection: A Vision for Compassionate Rescue

We have a dream—and now, we’ve found the perfect place to bring it to life.

​

Introducing the PetPromise Pet Connection, a groundbreaking new concept in animal rescue and community engagement, right here in Columbus, Ohio. This will be more than a shelter—it will be a sanctuary. A warm, welcoming, home-like environment where rescued cats and dogs live freely, and where people from all walks of life can come together to connect, relax, and experience the joy of animal companionship.

Imagine a space where you can sip coffee, read a book, work remotely, or simply unwind—while a cat curls up in your lap or a dog rests at your feet. A place where animals are not confined behind cages or glass, but live in comfort, surrounded by love and care. This is the PetPromise Pet Connection.

​

And after years of planning, we are ready to make it a reality in 2025. But we can’t do it without you.

 

The Vision

We’ve identified a beautiful 5,100+ square foot building in the heart of Columbus, near Grandview Heights—a vibrant, high-visibility location that’s perfect for our mission. This space will be transformed into a state-of-the-art, semi-cageless adoption and community center, featuring:

• The Cat Zone: Open, communal living areas with cozy ledges, vertical climbing spaces, and comfortable seating for visitors. Cats and kittens will roam freely in a space that feels like home.

• The Dog Zone: Spacious, light-filled areas with agility equipment, comfy furniture, and cozy dens for rest and privacy. Dogs will live and play in a cheerful, cage-free environment.

• Community Lounge: A welcoming café-style space where guests can enjoy beverages, socialize, work, or simply spend time with adoptable pets.

• Wellness & Care Areas: Dedicated spaces for grooming, minor medical care, and safe quarantine for new arrivals.

 

This innovative model will not only improve the lives of homeless pets—it will redefine how communities engage with animal rescue. It’s a place where people and pets heal, grow, and find each other.

 

Why It Matters

At PetPromise, we believe that true rescue is about more than saving lives—it’s about how those lives are lived. Every animal deserves dignity, comfort, and love while they wait for their forever home. And every person deserves the chance to experience the unconditional joy that animals bring.

​

The PetPromise Pet Connection will be a beacon of hope, a hub of compassion, and a model for shelters nationwide.
