Get Involved

La Plata County Humane Society is not only a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, but we are also a membership based organization. In addition to subsidies we receive to provide city and county animal protection and shelter services, we also rely on donations, whether monetary or goods and supplies to fund our life-saving programs. Individual, and family memberships are offered to people wanting to become active participants. Our dedicated volunteers and foster families donate their time, student immersion programs teach humane education to younger generations, and the revenue generated by our Thrift Store supports our mission. Your support helps fund our life-saving programs, provide community outreach that teaches the importance of humane education, as well as food and care for all the animals that come through our doors.
