The humane society was founded in 1950 by Ralph J. Wann, a Canon City businessman and animal lover, who paid for the construction of the original shelter. After finding neither the City of Canon City nor the County of Fremont interested in running the shelter, Mr. Wann set up a charitable foundation and donated his own stocks which to this day help to keep the shelter going. Walter Jenks, President of the Board of Directors for the shelter believes that "the trust and support of the citizens of all the surrounding communities" and "a close knit Board of Directors" have been major factors in the success of The Humane Society of Fremont County for the past 49 years. The shelter has also had contracts with several of the surrounding communities over the years. You could say that the folks at Fremont are lucky to have a private foundation to provide support for their activities, but they are not just sitting back and watching the checks roll in. The staff has come up with a couple of creative ideas for fundraising, most notably their annual yard sale. Office Manager, Diana Warren, who has been with the humane society for ten years, describes it as the "Disneyland of yard sales". The community donates "thousands of items from clothing to computers, housewares to holiday decorations" according to Diana. A very successful Christmas food drive (which provides food for the pets for an average of 6 months!), and year-round collection of aluminum cans for recycling (organized by Juan Carlos Chavez) round out the fund-raising activities at Fremont.
