Helping you say goodbye humanely

In response to Colorado’s Safer-at-Home directives, Larimer Humane Society is requiring face coverings for all individuals entering the building, and limiting the number of individuals in our lobby areas. Additionally, we are only able to accommodate two individuals per party in our building at this time. Please visit our COVID-19 page for a full listing of service modifications. We appreciate your support and cooperation as we work to ensure staff, volunteers, and clients remain safe while delivering the highest quality of care to the animals and our community.

At Larimer Humane Society, we understand how difficult the decision can be to provide your pet with the final act of love and compassion through humane euthanasia. Whether due to illness or injury, because of a behavioral concern, or another reason, we are here for you during this difficult process.

Larimer Humane Society provides owner-requested euthanasia services by appointment only. At this time we are unable to accommodate owners and families who wish to be present with their pet during the euthanasia process. If this is a service that you will need, we encourage you to reach out to your veterinarian or give us a call to discuss other local euthanasia service options. If you have questions about afterlife services for your pet, feel free to call prior to your appointment and we will be happy to assist you. Please click here or call us at 970-226-3647, ext. 0 to schedule your appointment.

Dedicated times ensure that trained staff are on-site for facilitation. Arriving on schedule will help ensure our team is able to provide you and your pet with the greatest level of comfort and assistance.
