Emergencies come in many forms, and they may require a brief absence or permanent evacuation from your home. The best thing you can do for your pets and animals is to be ready. Download this recommended checklist and create a pet emergency kit that is readily available near an exit in your home. From carriers to food to your veterinarian’s contact info, ensure you have everything you and your pet/animal will need when evacuation is a priority. Once completed, print out your checklist and put it in your pet emergency kit.

Pet Emergency Sticker

If you are not home during an evacuation, posting a pet emergency sticker outside your front door will allow law enforcement to know what and how many pets need assistance. Need a sticker? Stop by either of our campuses and get one for free!

Pet Friendly Housing

In the event you need to separate from your pet(s), identify boarding facilities that could care for them. Please know that our Larimer and Weld campuses will welcome and temporarily care for your pet during an emergency.

Develop a Buddy System

Coordinate with neighbors, friends, or family members to ensure your pets will be taken care of in case you are unable to.

License Your Pet

Pet licenses are not only the law, they are your pet’s fastest ticket home should they become lost. Click below to purchase/renew your pet’s license.

Microchip Your Pet

Microchipping is an important safeguard to increase the likelihood your pet is returned to you if they become lost. NOCO Humane provides this service at both of its shelter campuses. Please contact our Client Service Teams at either campus using the information in the footer of this web page. 

The sooner you can respond to an emergency, the better. Stay attuned to disasters that are likely to affect your region – that way you are not caught off guard. Also, consult with your veterinarian on how to best meet your pet’s needs in times of chaos and stress.
