Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Client Services
One of Larimer Humane Society's primary commitments is the placement and re-homing of northern Colorado's lost, homeless and abandoned animals. The client services department works to fulfill this commitment largely through public adoptions and return-to-owner services (i.e. lost and found). Client services also facilitates animal surrenders when an owner can no longer care for their pet, in addition to a variety of pet-related community services.
Veterinary Services
The Veterinary Services department manages the health and well-being of all animals at Larimer Humane Society. In addition to wellness exams performed within 24 hours of intake, the Veterinary Services department ensures every domestic animal receives vaccinations against communicable diseases and microchips to assist with re-homing if they should become lost. Adoption candidates receive a blood panel analysis to help identify potential health concerns as well as a spay/neuter surgery before being cleared for public adoption. This departments performs upwards of 2,000 surgeries, 6,000 wellness exams and provide nearly 10,000 vaccines on an annual basis.
Animal Protection & Control and Licensing
The Animal Protection & Control Department serves a number of regional municipalities and unincorporated areas of Larimer County through contractual agreements. Animal Protection and Control officers respond to animal-related calls for assistance, conduct cruelty and neglect investigations, respond to injured animals throughout the jurisdictions, oversee animal bite investigations, and return lost pets to their owners. This department also enforces dog, cat and chicken licensing in accordance with established local ordinances, helping to provide animals a ticket home should they ever become lost.
Animal Care
The Animal Care department is responsible for meeting and exceeding the basic needs of every animal in the care of Larimer Humane Society. Through the provision of healthy meals and a clean, comfortable safe haven, the Animal Care department ensures the basic well-being of nearly 7,000 animals each year.
Foster Care
The Foster Care program ensures that every animal is set up for their best chance at success - even those that require extra care, attention, or medical resources. By engaging more than 100 volunteer foster families, this program provides special needs animals with a comfortable home and a dedicated caretaker to best prepare animals for their forever home.
Transfer
Serving a community with a higher-than-average commitment to adoption and responsible pet ownership, Larimer Humane Society has the capacity to alleviate the burdens faced by struggling communities through transfer. This program provides animals from areas with low adoption rates and overpopulation issues with a second chance through transfer to Larimer Humane Society.
Humane Education & Volunteer Program
The Humane Education & Volunteer program provides education and engagement to the broader community. Through youth camps, in-school presentations, on-site shelter tours, and extensive volunteer opportunities, this program provides a critical link between Larimer Humane Society and its community.
Behavior & Enrichment
The Behavior & Enrichment department ensures that animals in the care of Larimer Humane Society are not only healthy, but physically and mentally occupied and engaged. This is accomplished through a detailed schedule of daily enrichment activities in addition to the personal attention and care of hundreds of volunteers.

Larimer Humane Society
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
