Staffing Shortage
Due to a severe staffing shortage, the shelter will be closing an hour early for the next two weeks. We will be open 10-4p Monday through Saturday (closed on Sunday). We expect to rectify the staffing issue by the end of the month, at which time we will return to our normal operating hours.
Euthanasia & Cremation
We Are Not Able To Perform Euthanasia On-Site
We do not have a veterinarian on staff at Humane Society of Fremont County. For this reason, we are not able to perform euthanasia on the Humane Society premises. If a shelter owned animal requires euthanasia, we will transport that animal to our Vet's clinic where the euthanasia will take place under the guidance of a licensed Veterinarian.
If your companion animal is irremediably suffering we will accept the animal for euthanasia*, but since we will transport the animal to our Vet, we charge the owner what the Vet will charge the shelter to perform the euthanasia. *Our shelter does not provide convenience euthanasia. In other words, we will never euthanize a healthy animal with a treatable illness or treatable behavior, or because putting the pet down is convenient for the owner
If your pet is experiencing an emergency, please call your local veterinarian for immediate assistance.
