Brrr! 🥶 Keep Your Pets Safe in the Cold!

With frigid temperatures expected this weekend, it’s essential to take extra precautions to keep your furry friends safe and cozy. 🐾❄️

🐕 Limit Outdoor Time: Only let your pets outside as needed. Just like humans, dogs and cats are susceptible to hypothermia and frostbite, and can lead to serious injuries or illnesses. If you notice your dog shivering, moving slowly, or continuously lifting its paws off the ground, bring them inside immediately. If you own a working cat, ensure they have access to warm, dry, and safe shelter, and access to unfrozen water. All in all, bitter freezing temps are a great reason to cuddle with your furry friend inside!.

🐾 Protect Those Paws: Ice melt and frozen sidewalks can be harsh on sensitive paws. Consider using pet-safe paw balm or booties to prevent irritation.

💧 Stay Hydrated: With the heat cranking at high in our homes, ensure your pets have access to fresh water, as hydration is just as important in the winter!

📞 If you are concerned for an unattended pet outdoors, please call Animal Protection & Control at 970.226.3647 ext. 7, or your local animal control.

Our pets rely on us to protect them, so let’s keep them safe and warm this weekend. Share this to spread the word! ❤️

When we first met Todd, we had a feeling something not so great happened at some point in his life. He was very shy, timid, fearful, and it took him 5 days to come out of the same kennel he arrived in from animal control as a stray.

Our Behavior & Enrichment Team let him warm up at his own pace, and when he started to gently take pieces of hot dog and cheese from our Behavior Coordinator's hand, we started to see a glimmer of hope. He wagged his tail a bit, sniffed and licked her hand, but wasn't quite ready for pets.

Day by day, Todd warmed up little by little. He still has a ways to go with building his confidence around loud noises and new people/places, and we are confident he will find the right home that can give him the care he needs.

Todd is a 3-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier, mix, and is looking for his forever home. He may be a big guy, weighing in just over 70 lbs, but he is all heart. He loves curling up with soft blankets and stuffed toys. He's still a bit unsure of leashes, but with patience and positive reinforcement, we are confident he can learn. Since he needs a calm and peaceful environment, he is looking for a home without small children.

Underneath all that fear and trauma, we know there is a very special dog with a giant heart. With the right amount of love and patience, you will be rewarded with boundless love and loyalty. Let's help Todd find the peaceful and calm home he so desperately needs. Come to our Weld Campus in Evans, or visit https://www.nocohumane.org/animal-details/A896308/.

Happy Tail! 🐾🎉

"I adopted Luca when it was still the Humane Society of Weld County. My mom and I had to say goodbye to my English Setter Daisy, and my dog, Bundles, wanted a new buddy. I went on the shelter's website and saw an adorable 3 month old terrier named Chopin that was available, and my mom met me at the shelter to meet Chopin. He was a very scared little puppy and when I was finally able to hold him, he clung tight to me.

It didn't take long to decide that we wanted to adopt this little guy. My mom came up with the name Luca after a movie character and his nickname became "Pooka." Bundles absolutely loved Luca from the start and they were best buddies. Later on, we said goodbye to Bundles due to old age. That affected Luca quite a bit and he wanted to constantly be by my side. He became my hiking and car buddy (he gets so excited about car rides!). We moved to Tennessee in 2019 and I adopted a pitbull named Cheyenne. It took him a while to warm up to a new dog, but they were soon good friends.

Since then, I have adopted Luca's other two best friends: A cat named Nala and a Labrador mix named Hermione. At ten years old, Luca still enjoys racing around the yard with Hermione and doing the obstacle course I made for the dogs. He sleeps with me every night and he is the type of dog that picks up on my emotions. I am so glad I adopted him; he's an amazing friend and travel buddy."

What a journey for you and Luca! Thank you for sharing and for adopting sweet Luca 🏡🥰

A message from our Chief Veterinarian, Dr. Gail, DVM:

Avian Influenza has been in the news lately with reports of infections in cats and people, as well as
wild and domestic birds. While we have not had any cases at NOCO Humane, I wanted to share
some information and resources for current information.

Recent investigations implicate food as a source of infection, so please do not feed your pets
unpasteurized milk, or raw diets (including those purchased retail) as these have been linked to
severe illness and death from H5N1 in cats and captive big cats. Other sources include exposure to
infected wild or domestic birds, or to people that work on affected farms that may carry the virus
on their clothing.

Signs can include:
🟠 Respiratory symptoms such as severe discharge from eyes or nose, coughing, difficulty breathing
🟠 Neurologic signs including acting confused, circling, seizures, blindness
🟠 Acting abnormally quiet and unresponsive

If you have any concerns, please speak to your veterinarian or your local Public Health Department.

Please note: A majority of our dogs at the Weld Campus in Evans have been transferred to our Larimer Campus in Loveland. Please be sure to check the location of the animal you are interested in visiting with/adopting before planning your visit.

After yesterday's heating issue at Weld Campus, everything is back in action and operating hours will resume as usual. We transferred the dogs to our Larimer Campus as it was difficult to clean their kennels yesterday given the frozen pipes and hoses.

If you have any questions about our dogs for adoption, visit https://www.nocohumane.org/adopt-a-dog/ or contact our Larimer Campus Client Services Team at 970.226.3647 ext. 0.

A friendly PSA to keep your pets safe and warm this winter in the frigid temperatures. Like humans, dogs and cats are susceptible to hypothermia and frostbite, which can develop in as little as 5-10 minutes when the weather is very frigid with high winds.

Happy Tail! 🐾🎉

"Vinnie was returned twice because he doesn't get along with other cats. Being in a home of his own, he is absolutely thriving! He made himself totally comfortable within 24 hours of being brought home. He's very affectionate and playful, loves cuddles from his new family, and brings his favorite toys to you anytime he wants to play! He's the king of the castle and he knows it!"

Congratulations! Thank you for adopting ❤️

01/08/2025

Please note: NOCO Humane's Weld Campus in Evans is closed all day today, Wednesday, January 8. Our Weld Campus lost heat overnight and, while the heat is back on, it is taking a while for the pipes, hoses, and room temperature to warm up. This is taking place in the front of the building and the back of the building is where our furry friends reside - they are all safe and cozy!

If you have an animal emergency in Weld County, please contact your local authorities. Thank you for your understanding and stay warm 🐾

Colorado Gives Day spotlight #2! https://www.coloradogives.org/organization/Nocohumane When you give to NOCO Humane, you are directly supporting animals like Tater Tot, a 9-year-old sweet and loving kitty who was experiencing significant discomfort. When Tater Tot was brought to NOCO Humane, we were told he is a house soiler. Our Veterinary Services Team evaluated his health and they discovered he had urinary blockage due to bladder stones, which is why his restroom routine was difficult and unpredictable. To remove this blockage, our team performed a surgery called perineal urethrostomy. After a successful surgery and recovery in a foster home, Tater Tot now uses the restroom pain-free without any concern. Rejuvenated and ready to live life without pain, we were THRILLED to place Tater Tot as an adoption candidate. It didn't take long for his new human companion to find him, and he was adopted into a loving home in Greeley! Thanks to your support, we are able to provide life-saving care to animals in need across northern Colorado.
