“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 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, and 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 checkups 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.”

“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!”

“I believe that giving a voice to the voiceless is one of the most noble causes we can engage in. I am fortunate enough to lend my experience from the non-profit world, and the private sector, to work at building a strong community surrounding the Longmont Humane Society. We will do the best we can to provide the quality of life and dignity that every animal in our community deserves.”

“I’m a board member at Longmont Humane Society because I’m focused on creating positive change for the 4,000 animals that LHS serves annually! I started my journey at LHS volunteering and wanted to get deeper into the mission, offering my experience to forward the mission at this wonderful place. I had a cat growing up who made a big impression on me and understand the importance pets have on our daily lives, giving that gift to as many people as possible is a goal of mine.“

“I adopted my first of two dogs from the Longmont Humane Society in 2002. I have seen the work that LHS does for the animals and the community. They are an outstanding shelter and organization. I am proud to join their Board of Directors, and to support their mission to care, serve, educate and improve the lives of companion animals. I will lend my experiences to help Longmont Humane to be able to maintain the high standards they offer in their wide range of services available, in their committed and talented staff, and in their work for the loving animals and the community, now and into the future. They do such vital and important work for Longmont.”

“My elementary-aged daughter and I started volunteering in the summer of 2021 and I was instantly impressed with the high standards of care that the Longmont Humane Society provides. As a board member, and mother to a daughter who wants to work with animals one day, I hope to help bolster programming that engages the youth and other diverse demographics that represent our Longmont community.“
