STS (Stop the Suffering) is volunteer run animal rescue based in Columbus, Ohio. We rescue dogs from all over Ohio, northern Kentucky and West Virginia. We house dogs through foster homes and strive to connect each one with their perfect forever family.
Step 1: Apply! Complete the online adoption application. Let your references and vet know that STS will be contacting them! Some vets will require your approval to release information to us. Step 2: Vet and Reference Checks. The STS application team will do a veterinary check and reference check. All animals in home must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations for you to be considered for adoption! We will discuss any medical waivers with your vet. STS will contact you with any questions and follow up. Step 3: Home Visit. Once your application is approved, an STS volunteer will contact you to arrange a home visit. A home visit must be completed prior to a meet and greet with any of our dogs outside of events. Step 4: Meet and Greet. Once the home visit is completed and approved, an adoption coordinator and/or a foster will reach out to set up a meet and greet! You may meet as many pups you would like to make sure its the best match! It is your responsibility to meet at the dog's foster home unless the foster feels it is in the best interest of the dog to meet elsewhere. Step 5: Adopt! If your meet and greet goes well, you may move forward with the adoption at any time.
