The Humane Society of Fremont County has been dedicated to ending animal homelessness and providing care and comfort for companion animals in need. Our adoption programs, affordable veterinary services, community outreach efforts and volunteer opportunities are essential to the health and well-being of every animal across Fremont and Custer County, Colorado.

Our mission is to provide humane care for stray and surrendered animals by offering refuge, providing medical care, and facilitating an adoptive home. Only 19% of our budget is municipally funded, so the other 81% comes from donations, grants, bequests and fundraising events to further our mission of caring for the neglected and abandoned pets of Fremont and Custer County, Colorado.

As a proud open-admission shelter, the pets of Humane Society of Fremont County remain in our care until they find their forever home. The Humane Society of Fremont County understands that people in Fremont & Custer County, Colorado may struggle financially from time to time and so we offer:

Our slogan, "Where Every Life Matters" could not more accurate. Every last life truly matters to us all.

Found a pup near the Abbey and when I took her to the Humane Society of Fremont County to check for a chip they instantly remembered someone who called in about a dog with the same description. The woman immediately contacted the family so the dog could be returned. The staff were very professional and friendly during the whole process.

Good people doing good for animals. The Humane Society of Fremont County is serving the community well. The management is top-notch and most of the people working there seem to be friendly and knowledgeable. A great place to volunteer time for the betterment of the dog and cat community in which we live.

Outstanding experience here for sure! I originally came in looking for a specific dog from the website, upon meeting that dog, it was clear that we were not a good fit together, but Bre (who was the one helping me) took the time to get to know our situation, and said "hang on, there's someone you should meet" then she brought my boy, Drax, and he instantly jumped up in my arms and gave me a hug. Now, 2 years later, our Drax is still a perfect fit for my son and I, he loves to snuggle, wrestle, and go for rides in the car. Can't thank the Humane Society of Fremont County, and Bre enough.
