Larimer Humane Society
A Legacy of Compassion
NOCO Humane is an independent nonprofit dedicated to fostering a compassionate, safe, and responsible relationship between animals and people. For over 50 years, we have been working to create forever families, serving as a trusted leader in northern Colorado.
Our Commitment to Care
As an open-admission shelter, we believe every animal deserves a safe place to go for care. We operate under the principles of Socially Conscious Sheltering, a compassionate model that prioritizes the health and well-being of every animal in our care, from the moment they arrive until they find their new home.
How We Support Our Animals
Our shelters are places of healing and enrichment, where nearly 12,000 animals each year receive quality medical attention, nutritious food, and professional behavior support. While in our care, our dedicated team and foster volunteers provide the love and nurturing necessary to help each pet become the best version of themselves, ensuring they are ready for their next chapter.
Your Partner in Adoption
We believe that adopting an animal is a joyful, life-changing experience. Our knowledgeable adoption counselors are here to help you find the perfect match for your lifestyle and personality, ensuring that your new companion integrates seamlessly into your family.
