FTO & The Clippers

The Columbus Clippers are partnering with FREEdom Tails Ohio Animal Rescue and the Columbus Humane Society this season to help find homes for rescue animals and raise awareness about animal rescue.

Each week, the Clippers will feature a rescue dog at Huntington Park during the game. Fans will have the opportunity to meet the dog, and if interested, fill out an application to adopt. The dog will also be featured on the Clippers’ social media and website.

The Clippers will also be hosting a ‘Bark in the Park’ event where fans can bring their dogs to the game. There will be a dog-friendly area in the ballpark, and fans will be able to purchase tickets for their dogs.

In addition, the Clippers will be selling a special ‘FTO & The Clippers’ t-shirt, with proceeds benefiting FREEdom Tails Ohio Animal Rescue. The t-shirt will feature the FREEdom Tails Ohio logo and the Clippers logo.

The Clippers will also be hosting a silent auction during the season, with items donated by local businesses. All proceeds from the auction will benefit FREEdom Tails Ohio Animal Rescue.

We are thrilled to be partnering with the Columbus Clippers this season. This partnership will help us raise awareness about animal rescue and find homes for more rescue animals. We are grateful to the Clippers for their support, and we look forward to a great season!

Whispers From The Bridge

Have you ever stared at their picture and wondered if they miss you as much as you miss them? If you feel you can feel their presence from time to time? Is there a way to let them know you’re still here and thinking about them?

Whispers From The Bridge is a way for us to let our loved ones know we’re still here and thinking about them. Make a donation to help a pup in need.

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

In memory of Baxter

Bubby Boy came to us as a youngster, finding his way to our county property not once, but twice and decided to stay. Housebroke and well cared for. We searched for owners, no one came forward. He chose to make his home with us for the next 18 years. He became our canine security alarm and big brother to the various kitty siblings that came and went. He was a silly boy who loved to protect his house and people, was spoiled beyond belief and was always loved.

In memory of Zoey

Zoey, affectionately Zo-Zo, was our 11.5 year-old, 11.5 pound boss of the house. She was the tiniest, but mightiest, of our fur family. She was the biggest daddy’s girl. We rescued Zoey with her sister from Indianapolis on July 3rd, 2021 (and she was a firecracker). Sadly, she had been in 5 homes the first year of her life until she made it to the home where she was well cared for until life changes. She came to us in need of some care and love and we provided her the best of that and spoiled her until the end. She had no teeth but was the hangriest little lover of mealtime and her sweet tongue hanging out became her signature look. She loved to lay in the sun and would wait at the door for her dad to come home for her special belly rubs. She had the softest hair you would ever feel and would kindly paw at you when she wanted you to pet it. She loved to play with the ball even though she had no teeth! We loved her endlessly and miss her dearly.
