Wildlife

Larimer Humane Society’s Animal Protection & Control department will respond to calls regarding sick, injured or orphaned wildlife (for animals the size of a coyote or smaller) within unincorporated areas of Larimer County on public access roadways (not including natural areas.) Orphaned, sick or injured wildlife will be picked up by a Larimer Humane Society Animal Protection & Control officer and delivered to Larimer Humane Society’s WildKind department where the animal will receive the care for necessary for rehabilitation, if appropriate.

For deceased, sick and injured wildlife found on private property, a nominal fee will apply for pick-up. Exceptions apply for specific species prone to carrying rabies (including, but not limited to: bats, raccoons and skunks) exhibiting unnatural behaviors that may pose a threat to public safety.

Please note: Larimer Humane Society does not trap and relocate nuisance wildlife. Please refer to our WildKind web pages for suggestions on how to peacefully co-exist and deter our wild friends away from your property or contact our WildKind staff directly by calling (970) 226-3647 ext. 322. Alternatively, you can contact a local pest control agency for assistance.

For wildlife concerns with animals larger than a coyote, please contact the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife for assistance at (970) 472-4300.
