Lost & Found

At the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, we want to ensure the health and well-being of all animals in our care. Each year, more than 2,000 pets arrive at our shelter as stray animals. Because we have no way of ensuring the vaccination status of these animals, HSBV vaccinates all animals – dogs for DHPP and Bordetella and cats for FVRCP – upon arrival. Vaccines help to protect stray animals while they wait at the shelter to be reunited with their guardians and inhibit the spread of communicable diseases throughout our animal population.

If you believe one of our found animals belongs to you, please call (303) 442-4030 or visit the shelter at 2323 55th Street in Boulder.

We encourage guardians of lost pets to check online daily or visit the Humane Society’s Lost and Found Center. We urge you to visit the shelter in person to positively identify your animal. Bring a current photo to help with identification and to complete your Lost Report. Your visit could help us reunite you with your pet, as animals often lose their collars and tags. If your animal is at the Humane Society, he or she will be held for five days. After five days the animal will become property of the Humane Society of Boulder Valley.

Boulder County Animal Protection utilizes both the Humane Society of Boulder Valley and the Longmont Humane Society for impound services for lost pets. Boulder County Animal Protection will take animals found north of Hwy 52 (Mineral Road) to the Longmont Humane Society and animals found south of Hwy 52 to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley. It is important to contact both the Humane Society of Boulder Valley and the Longmont Humane Society when looking for your lost pet.
