Congratulations to the Boulder County Animal Control and the Red Star Animal Emergency Services team of the American Humane Association for saving so many lives! A Colorado Wildfire, which broke out on Labor Day, has taken the homes of many families, and the lives of many pets. AHA, Boulder Valley Humane Society, and Longmont Humane Society have come together to find stranded or displaced pets, provide them with much needed health support, and return them to their families. The Red Cross has also sheltered many families who still have their pets at a local YMCA, allowing families to stay together.
The Humane Society of Boulder Valley is offering a number of ways to donate to those affected by the fire. For those outside of Boulder Valley, you can donate through their website, or $10 via cell phone by texting PETS to 50555 (standard data and message rates may apply). For those close to Boulder Valley, you can donate at their Thrift Shop on Arapahoe Avenue between September 09 - September 15. Visit their website for more opportunities/information.
The Longmont Humane Society is also offering several ways to donate. At this time, they are in need of cat supplies such as non-clumping litter and canned cat food. They are also accepting cat/dog treats, cat/dog toys, canned tuna, and hand sanitizers. Donations can be delivered to their shelter between 9AM - 7PM or to Camp Bow Wow. Monetary donations are also greatly needed, and can be donated at their shelter or here.
