Every day, the Humane Society of Boulder Valley (HSBV) provides shelter, medical care, behavioral support, and a vital safety net for pets and people across our community. As Colorado's oldest continuously operating humane society, HSBV has been a cornerstone of animal welfare and compassionate sheltering since 1902.
From Boulder County to Frederick, Firestone, and Dacono, your support helps animals receive the care they need while helping families keep the pets they love.
Through your generosity, you are providing:
🐾 Shelter: A full bowl of food, a safe place to rest, and compassionate care when an animal has nowhere else to turn.
🏥 Medical Care: Lifesaving veterinary care that heals injuries and illness at our full-service veterinary hospital.
🧡 Behavioral Support & Training: You help shy, fearful, or neglected animals build confidence and prepare for life in a loving home with the support of our expert behavior and training team.
🤝 A Safety Net: Keep beloved pets safe with the people who love them, lending a hand to families right here in our community through discounted medical care.
👥 Community Support: In times of emergency we are first responders, opening our doors to pets and people facing crisis.
More than 20,000 animals rely on HSBV each year, and the need continues to grow. Your Colorado Gives Day gift will help ensure no animal is turned away because of cost.
Thank you for joining thousands of animal lovers providing shelter, healing and hope for animals in our community.
"Eight years ago, I adopted my dog from you...he lived a wonderful life filled with love, joy, and adventure. I just want to thank you for the incredible work y’all do. Because of your team's care and dedication, Ocoee was able to find his forever home with me, and together we shared so many happy trails and years together. His life is a testament to the impact y'all make every single day- and I cannot thank y'all enough!"
"When we adopted Meatball a little over a year ago, he was an extremely fearful, middle-aged hamster who'd been at HSBV for over 3 months. But I'm happy to report that 'fearful' is now the last word I'd use to describe him.... He's quite the picky eater but is definitely spoiled with the amount of different treats get for him to try. My now-senior guy is living out the rest of his life feeling safe and loved."
"Thank you for participating in out-of-state transfers. I adopted my Great Pyrenees mix from HSBV before Xmas.... She was severely underweight, had skin problems and tested positive for heartworm - among other issues. I have the sweetest dog who is finally healthy and happy thanks to HSBV...You saved my dog's life and enriched the life of my family...Thank you for all your work!"
Humane Society of Boulder Valley's mission is to protect and enhance the lives of companion animals by promoting healthy relationships between pets and people.
The Humane Society of Boulder Valley (HSBV) was formed in 1902 by a small group of spirited Boulder citizens, as an open-admission, socially conscious shelter.
We believe every animal deserves compassionate care and the chance for the best possible outcome. We never turn away animals in need, and we provide individualized medical, behavioral, and shelter support to help them thrive. By working together with our community and partners, we make thoughtful, ethical decisions that prioritize animal welfare, public safety, and transparency.
Each year HSBV serves more than 20,000 animals through adoptions, animal transfers, veterinary services, behavior care and Safety Net services.
