Our agency has a paid staff of 67 full and part-time employees. Our funding comes from three sources: donations & fundraising; service revenue; and animal control contracts.

• Donations and fundraising include our membership and general donations made by people like you. Click here for an online donation form. We have two main fundraising events per year: Fire Hydrant 5K Race, 3K Walk, Pet Fair and Top Cat & Tails Gala.
• Service Revenue includes our adoption fees, rental program and retail sales.
• Our funding from Animal Protection and Control contracts is based on the services we provide to Fort Collins, Loveland and Larimer County. Each jurisdiction must have some way to protect citizens from aggressive animals, pick up stray animals, and ensure that injured animals receive care. Fort Collins, Loveland, and Larimer County contract with the Larimer Humane Society to provide these services and enforce local ordinances. The money we receive from these contracts only funds the services provided and doesn’t help the Humane Society with the cost of rehabilitation or adoption expenses. Part of this contract revenue includes the sale of pet licenses and when you license your pets you are helping the Humane Society off-set the cost of providing animal rescue services for your city.
