“I’ve been volunteering at the Longmont Humane Society since 2014 and I’ve always been impressed with the level of care that goes into helping so many animals in need. This place is a staple in our community and I’m honored to be able to support their mission. My hope is that I can continue volunteering for years to come, and eventually give a lucky pup their forever home!”

“I was impressed from my very first Homeward Bound “behind the scenes” visit at the well pet clinic seven years ago and I continue to be impressed with the dedicated staff and their never ending work for our Longmont fur babies! I’m excited to be a part of the LHS Board so I can continue my community outreach in a more meaningful way, so that all of us can continue to support the loving animals that are very important to all of our lives.”

“I have long felt there are few things better than the unconditional love of animals. There is so much we can learn from their resilience so anything that I can do to support their wellbeing is top of mind for me. Being on the Board of Directors is one small way I can try and honor them as well as support the wonderful staff of LHS in delivering on their needs and goals.”

“I became a client of the Longmont Humane Society in 1997 when I adopted the first of what would eventually be four cats. In 2012, I was happy to join other local businesses in working to raise money to support the work of this important organization. Eventually I felt that while adopting and donating were wonderful ways to support Longmont Humane Society, I wanted to do more to help secure its future in our community. I am pleased to now be contributing my time and experience as a member of the Board of Directors.“

“I first became involved with Longmont Humane as a volunteer in 2012. Being highly aware of the positive impact the Longmont Humane makes in our community, in the lives of people and animals is so great, it is one of a few that I dedicated time and money to support. As clients, we have relied upon the well pet clinic for check ups and medications like heartworm pills. I am excited to bring my efforts to the board of directors to further help Longmont Humane continue to provide crucial services now and into the future.”

“I first joined LHS as a volunteer nearly 10 years ago since it allowed me and my young daughters to work with the animals directly. After seeing the wonderful work of the great staff at LHS, I decided to get involved in a more significant way by joining the board.”

“The Longmont Humane Society has impacted the lives of countless animals in our community and in turn the people who love them. Being on the board of directors allows me to play a small role in that incredible impact and ensure it continues for many years to come.”

“Animals are our silent partners in living a healthy fulfilled life; providing us so much more than unconditional love but are our own furry healers. I am honored to be a part of this organization that serves the well-being of our animal community”

“When I think of saving animals, I think of protecting one of the few inherently innocent beings this world holds. Being on the Board of the Longmont Humane Society allows me to join a team that supports those who break the mold when it comes to rescuing animals. Every wonderful animal that is saved brings life and love to families just like mine. We adopted my now 14 year old blind dog from LHS and without those here who chose to believe in him, my family wouldn’t be complete. I can’t wait to be a part of the change!”
