Daisy

Daisy was declawed as a kitten before being surrendered to a shelter. There were some complications with Daisy’s declawing procedure, and remnants of bone were left behind but there was hope for Daisy when she found a new home. After some time Daisy’s claws began to grow back, this caused Daisy immense pain and made her prone to infection. The only option to ensure Daisy’s health and alleviate her pain was surgery, which her family was unable to provide for Daisy, so she was surrendered to the Larimer Humane Society.

Harvey

My owners came into the shelter just wanting to look. They were planning on a long search to find just the right dog and even planned on visiting other shelters that same day. They never made it anywhere else, because after the Larimer Humane Society staff member suggested they visit with me, they fell in love and adopted me right away. They don't regret it a bit; I made sure of that.

Sassy

Our family came to visit the Humane Society back in August of 2014. We made it clear to our son that we were just going to look, but not bring any animals home that day. Once we arrived, we met a dog named Sassy. After about 30 seconds of visiting with her, we were so in love. We met another dog after Sassy, but he just didn't compare to her.

Lily

"My husband, Josh, brought home an American Staffordshire Terrier/ Malamute/Mastiff mix after I had a miscarriage a year ago. I loved the puppy (named Nina) with all my heart and I could see that she was lonely without a friend.

Wrigley

Wrigley escaped from a dog sitter in Fort Collins. His family from Westminster was out of state, but flew back as quickly as they could and drove straight from the airport to Fort Collins. They reported him missing at Larimer Humane Society and began a search that would last ten days.
