The thing about senior dogs is that people assume they’ve already had their adventures. Then you meet one.

You meet the senior who’s “winding down” and realize they still throw themselves onto their back for belly rubs, they still follow you from room to room, and they still get excited for treats, walks, car rides, and seeing their favorite people.

You realize they aren’t done living. Not even close.

Right now, we have SEVERAL senior dogs waiting for homes:
Nina, 8 years old
Yoshi, 8 years old
Ginger, 10 years old
Peyton, 10 years old
Lilac, 10 years old
Gary, 11 years old
LB & Audio, 11 & 12 years old, bonded pair
Bailey, 12 years old
Coconut, 13 years old
and Hera, 13 years old.

If you’ve never considered adopting a senior, maybe it’s time to meet one.

Mitzy may have found her match, but Audio & LB, Ginger, Nina, Bailey, Gary, Lilac, Coconut, Yoshi, Peyton, and Hera are still waiting for theirs. ❤️

May flowers are blooming outside and inside the shelter 🌸🐾

These sweet faces are still waiting for families of their own, and during the final days of our May Flowers campaign, you can help brighten their stay while they wait. Donate a kind message to one of our shelter pets and your words will be displayed to remind them they’re loved, seen, and worth waiting for.

There’s still time to participate, and every donation also enters you into a drawing to win a beautiful hanging flower basket from The Flower Bin 🌷

Help us fill the shelter with kindness for the last few days of May Flowers 💛

Dogs Pictured, in order: Marcella, Peace, Sid, Sky, Koda, Tony, & Blaze 🔥

Our cats asked us to pass along a very important message: we are running LOW on litter boxes and cat treats! 🐱

Donations of new or gently used litter boxes and unopened cat treats help keep our shelter pets comfortable, enriched, and happy while they wait for their families.

Items can be dropped off at Longmont Humane Society during business hours. Every donation makes a difference for the cats in our care. 💙

Allie’s official job title was “office dog,” but her real specialty was making people feel loved.

After entering our SafeKeep program because of emergency circumstances at home, Allie eventually needed a forever family of her own. As a senior girl who needed a quiet home without other pets, she waited longer than we wished she had to.

So while she waited, she became everyone’s coworker. She spent her days hanging out with staff, greeting visitors at the front desk, and reminding everyone to stop what they were doing and give her attention.

Now she’s finally retired into luxury living with a family all her own. We already received an update of her snoozing peacefully in her new home, and honestly, it feels exactly right for her.

Sometimes life takes a turn that nobody wanted. But sometimes those changes still lead exactly where they’re supposed to.

If you’d like to help more animals like Allie, our May Flowers campaign is still going on. When you donate a Spotlight of Kindness flower, you help fund daily care for shelter animals, support projects that make the shelter feel more welcoming and comforting, and help bring more attention to pets who are still waiting for their person.

mobility aid? no. performance upgrade. 🏎️💨

Canelo may star in Fast & Furious: Chihuahua Drift, but off the racetrack he’s actually the gentlest little guy currently available for adoption and waiting for his forever family! At 2 years old, this sweet boy politely asks for ear scritches, rides quietly in purses like a pro, and just wants someone to love him. He’s good with dogs and kids of all ages, and while he hasn’t been tested with cats, we have no reason to think he’d have any issues. Shelter life has been a little overwhelming for him, and sometimes the stress makes this sweet boy cry and whine while he waits for his person.

If you want to brighten Canelo’s day (or the day of any animal in our care), our May Flowers campaign is still going strong! Donations help us provide comfort, enrichment, medical care, treats, cozy beds, and all the little things that make shelter life easier while animals wait for home. Even sharing posts like this helps spread kindness and visibility to pets who need it most. 🌼

Sky is a reminder that shelter behavior is not always who a dog truly is.

The shelter can feel overwhelming for her, and when she’s scared, she can appear reactive in her kennel. But once she feels safe and comfortable with someone, her real personality comes out and it is impossible not to love her.

She is goofy, affectionate, playful, and full of personality. One minute she’s cuddling up for attention, the next she’s playing hide and seek behind a pole making everyone laugh.

Sky is 2 years old and:
🐾 Dog friendly and required to go home with another confident dog
🐾 Cat friendly
🐾 Looking for a home with high school aged children or older
🐾 In need of multiple visits before adoption so she can build trust at her own pace

She is not an instant connection dog. She is a deep connection dog. The kind that is worth every bit of patience ❤️

This weekend, Sky is also one of SIX mystery dogs who are EXTRA ready to go home. Their adoption fee is reduced to $50 + $30 rabies vaccine and includes a leash, collar, and other goodies to help them settle in.

Stop by this weekend to meet Sky and discover the other 5 mystery dogs 👀

No pressure BUT if you’d like to brighten the shelter while supporting the animals waiting in our care, May Flowers is still blooming throughout the building 🌸 Personalized messages can be donated to Sky or any of our adoptable animals.

Some community partners show up when it matters most, and Meier All County Glass has done exactly that for our animals. 💙

When one very determined, very blockheaded dog decided kennel glass was optional, Meier All County Glass jumped into action to get the kennel repaired fast so we could keep every space available for animals in need. (And yes, the lovable blockhead behind the chaos was totally okay and adopted shortly after. 🐶)

They didn’t stop there. Their team also worked hard to replace cracked kennel glass throughout our shelter, helping our dogs put their best paw forward instead of being seen through worn, damaged panels. It may seem like a small detail, but creating a brighter, cleaner space makes a huge difference for both our animals and the people meeting them.

Bonus points for no more dogs mistakenly being the one blamed for age-old cracks in the glass.

On top of all that, they are also sponsoring our upcoming Putts for Mutts golf tournament on June 8th, and we are incredibly grateful for their continued support of the animals and people in our community.

There are still a few foursome and individual player spots available, so grab yours before we sell out! ⛳🐾

Thank you, Meier All County Glass, for always being willing to step up when we need you.

Hot pavement does not care how nice it feels outside. A sunny 80° day can turn sidewalks and asphalt into surfaces that can seriously injure paws in under a minute.

Dogs can’t tell us when pavement is becoming painful until the damage has already started. Paw pads may seem tough, but they can still blister and burn surprisingly quickly on hot surfaces. Puppies, senior dogs, and short-legged breeds are especially vulnerable because their bodies are closer to the heat radiating off the ground. The safest move is to think beyond the air temperature and pay attention to what your dog is actually walking on.

A few easy ways to stay ahead of it:
• Walk early morning or later in the evening when surfaces have had time to cool
• Choose grass or shaded routes whenever possible
• Remember that dark asphalt and concrete hold heat long after the sun drops
• Watch for subtle signs like hesitation, paw lifting, or stopping suddenly

If you have ever felt that instant “ouch” from barefoot pavement, that is exactly what your dog experiences, just without shoes or a quick way to tell you.

Save this for later or share it with someone who walks their dog daily. It is one of those small habits that can prevent a big injury.

The snow may have shown up overnight, but it can’t stop the blooms at Longmont Humane Society 🌸🐾

Introducing our May Flowers Campaign, sponsored by The Flower Bin!

All month long, every donation made to Longmont Humane Society can be turned into a flower with your personalized message of kindness and encouragement for our shelter animals. Those flowers will brighten kennel doors throughout the shelter, helping our animals stand out while spreading love and hope to every pet waiting for a home.

Your support helps provide daily care, shelter, medical treatment, and second chances for animals in need. Our goal is to raise $15,000 this month to keep that care growing.

🌼 Donation Levels:
$25 = 1 flower
$50 = 3 flowers
$100 = 7 flowers
$150 = 10 flowers + a packet of flower seeds

Every donation is also entered into a drawing to win a beautiful hanging basket generously donated by The Flower Bin!

Help our shelter blossom this May and remind our animals they are loved while they wait for their families. 💙
