Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: It is the mission of the Humane Society of Boulder Valley to protect and enhance the lives of companion animals by promoting healthy relationships between pets and people.
Since our founding in 1902, the Humane Society of Boulder Valley facility has assisted tens of thousands of homeless and neglected animals. Over the last 100 years, we have developed a local and national reputation as a leader in animal care and humane education. Our approach to animal welfare has created an extremely high rate live-release rate - in 2008 89% of the animals we received were adopted out or returned to their guardians. In comparison, the national average of live-release cases is approximately 47%. In addition, we are proud that we do not euthanize animals due to lack of kennel space or their length of stay. Because of our success, the Humane Society of Boulder Valley has earned a nationwide reputation for leadership and frequently works with struggling companion animal facilities in Colorado and beyond through mentoring and animal relocation.
Programs:
Spay/neuter programs and services are integral to the mission of the Humane Society of Boulder Valley. To prevent unwanted births and save animals in our community and beyond, every shelter animal is sterilized before adoption. In 2008, we spayed and neutered 3,259 animals that came into our shelter before they were put into our Adoption Center.
