I am so pleased with my newest family member, an older orange kitty who was originally named "Dynamite" (and he is anything but). He is the most laid back fella ever! I am thankful that, even at his age and because he's a more "common" color, he was not overlooked by the Humane Society for Larimer County and made less important than the younger cats at the shelter. Instead, you were kind enough to "show" him at Petsmart and online on Petfinders. He was JUST THE TICKET for me. Just the kind of new addition I was hoping for...a cool cat whose big and handsome. He fits into my household beautiful and there hasn't been a moment of anything but continued harmony with my other rescues (three dogs and a another, older female cat). How lucky am I? And Dynamite, who's now called Finnegan (and who knows his name already!) is pretty darn lucky as well. Thank you for the good works you do. Thank you for the excellent follow up to ensure all was going well with him. And thank you for the pre-qualification of potential "rescuers" which, I'm sure, cuts down on the mismatches. I am happy!
Being cat-less for many months, I phoned and visited the Larimer (County) Humane Society (Ft. Collins, CO). After a "visitation" w/ a nice cat, I took home that wonderful feline pet, for no costs except a voluntary donation. Harley the cat is mellow, healthy, clean and affectionate. Family very pleased. Two Society associates gave me outstanding service both on phone and in person that was patient and competent. Also I was given helpful pamphlets, cat food , and the entire information of Harley's microchip and medical records including spaying, up-to-date shots and worming, and any medical procedures or medications for her over her eight yrs, along w/ a new pink collar w/ tags, and a voucher for a free visit to my local vet. Fantastic!
Also, they are on-call 24/7 to reunite lost pets w/ owners, and work w/ local law agencies to ensure safety of pets and people. What an outstanding Human Society office!

I adopted a dog from Larimer Humane Society almost two years ago now. I had a great experience and will definitely go back to them when I am ready for another friend! Anubis, formerly known as Sunny, has been great from the start. The behavior and enrichment group at LHS worked in close contact with Anubis during his time there and have continued to be of tremendous help after his adoption. Anubis was very timid and fearful of people, but through their hard work, he was adoptable and has come leaps and bounds from where he was before. Through their continued help, Anubis was even able to attend the Top Cat and Tails Gala with us in 2012 and walk on stage in front of everyone and then meet them afterward! The whole experience of adoption has been nothing but fun, with a large thanks to the Larimer Humane Society!

The Larimer County Humane Society provides excellent, professional, loving care to a wide range of homeless animals and helps match them with ideal owners to improve both animal and human quality of life. I adopted my dog, MacGyver, from the shelter in 2010 and he has been a perfect match for my family and has made each day happier. I credit the Larimer Humane Society for providing MacGyver with excellent foster care while he was a young pup, conducting a thorough and accurate evaluation of his temperment and needs, and helping him to be a happy, well socialized and very very loved dog.
