The Humane Society of Boulder Valley shelters more than 7000 lost, homeless, neglected, and abused pets each year. As an open admission shelter, the Humane Society of Boulder Valley accepts all companion animals regardless of their health or behavioral condition. We assist the public in making decisions in the best interest of their animal by providing a supportive environment to explore the options available to meet their needs.

We are a member of the Metro Denver Shelter Alliance and Asilomar Accords, and are committed to saving the lives of healthy and treatable animals in our community and beyond. We work in cooperation with other animal shelters and breed rescue groups. Wildlife and reptiles go to the groups that can give them the proper care.

The Humane Society of Boulder Valley's live release rate in 2004 was 85 percent. Through adoptions and reuniting lost pets 6,600 animals found their way home. Because of limited resources or unsafe behavior 1000 animals were euthanized.

The Society contracts with the City of Boulder to provide Animal Care and Control including cruelty investigations and after hour emergency service. We provide housing services for the stray animals of Louisville, Lafayette, Erie, unincorporated Boulder County and Broomfield County. These communities provide animal care and control officers through their police or sheriff department.
