Fulfilling Our Mission
For 46 years, Longmont Humane Society has been carrying out a singular vision, to serve animals in need in our community. We are proud to provide safe shelter, quality health care and second chances to lost and homeless animals year after year, and we could not do it without you. We are so fortunate to serve a community that places as much value on the importance of protecting the health and welfare of animals as we do. Your connection to our mission and values is apparent every time you choose LHS. Choosing adoption saves a life and ensures a safe space for the next animal that needs us. Attending LHS' Public Dog Training Classes enriches the human animal bond and supports vital shelter programs. Our Well Pet Clinic ensures access to quality veterinary care to all animals in our community. Your donations enable us to continue our lifesaving work. Our programs and services continue to offer safe-haven and positive outcomes for pets, and people, in our community through your ongoing support. We believe that we are in this together, and we thank you for being by our side.

Longmont Humane Society Joins Clear the Shelters
Petco Foundation Invests in Lifesaving Work of Longmont Humane Society
On Saturday, August 18, Longmont Humane Society joined the annual, community-driven pet adoption campaign, Clear the Shelters™. The event, a partnership between NBC and Telemundo, has resulted in more than 150,000 pet adoptions since it launched in 2015. During the one day event, Longmont Humane Society joined hundreds of other shelters nationwide and waived all adoption fees with the goal of finding new, loving, forever homes for as many animals as possible! More than 600 animal shelters and rescues participated in the fourth annual Clear the Shelters™ pet adoption campaign, seeing 88,000 animals find forever homes in one day. With the help of our amazing community, Longmont Humane Society adopted 127 animals to new, loving homes during our first Clear the Shelters event!
In February of 2018, Longmont Humane Society was awarded a $10,000 grant from the Petco Foundation to support the spay/neuter and microchipping of all adopted dogs and cats. The Petco Foundation investment helped to microchip and spay/neuter every dog and cat prior to adoption, thereby reducing pet overpopulation and increasing the likelihood that stray pets are returned to their homes.
*Longmont Humane Society was fortunate to see a larger-than-anticipated positive financial result in 2018. The Board of Directors has allocated a significant portion of the Net Income to pay down our building’s mortgage and continue to maintain a reserve operating fund.
