Being a day in from when the Alexander Mountain fire started, we wanted to provide an update on how NOCO Humane is involved in pet evacuation efforts and overall support.
As of right now, NOCO Humane is temporarily caring for 99 animals who evacuated from their homes and could not stay with their owners: 30 dogs, 24 cats, 40 barnyard animals, four reptiles, and one guinea pig. If you were evacuated and need temporary housing for your pet (no larger than a goat), our Larimer Campus is able to care for them. If after hours, once you’re here call APC at 970-226-3647 ext. 7 and an on-call officer will assist your pet with settling into the shelter.
If you are seeking housing for an animal larger than a goat, please go to Island Grove Regional Park in Greeley.
If you were able to stay with your pet after being evacuated and are in need of food/supplies, please feel free to stop by our Larimer Campus in Loveland and we will provide you with an emergency supply.
NOCO Humane's Safety and Emergency Manager has been assisting the Red Cross with their two evacuation centers (one in Estes Park and the other in Loveland) to ensure they are equipped to accommodate pets. Additionally, our Animal Protection & Control Officers are in direct contact with the Larimer County Sherriff's Office and supporting as needed.
For the latest updates on evacuation efforts and fire activity, please visit nocoalert.org or dial 2-1-1.
We very much appreciate everyone's support and reaching out to offer supplies and volunteer help. At this time, we have the supplies and volunteers we need to address this emergency, but will certainly let you know if this changes.
If you are still interested in supporting NOCO Humane and the animals displaced from their homes, monetary donations go a very long way and can be made here: https://register.nocohumane.org/give/234539/ #!/donation/checkout.
Thank you all for your continued support and please be safe.
