Crisis Pet Care

If a personal crisis threatens to permanently separate you and your pet — like a hospital/inpatient stay, housing issues, domestic violence, financial hardship, etc. — and you need temporary pet care while you get back on your feet, Roice-Hurst Humane Society’s crisis pet care program covers up to 30 days of care in a foster home or partner boarding facility. Roice-Hurst understands how crucial pets are to overall wellness, and we strive to keep pets and their people together whenever possible. If you need assistance from our Crisis Boarding program, please submit the form below. You can expect to be contacted within 48 hours Monday-Friday. Questions? Please contact our Animal Resource Center Coordinator at 970-434-7337 ext. 103 or info@rhhumanesociety.org.

Guidelines

  • Our Crisis Pet Care program’s purpose is to provide temporary care for pets whose families would not be able to afford or find temporary care on their own. 
  • This program is dependent on availability within our foster homes and partner boarding facilities. Roice-Hurst cannot guarantee assistance within specific dates or duration.
  • Please note that the pets are housed in foster homes or boarding facilities, not on-site at Roice-Hurst.
  • If the pet is not picked up within the agreed upon time frame (up to 30 days), the pet will become adoptable through Roice-Hurst Humane Society. The end goal of this program is reunification of a pet and their family. Click here if you are looking to rehome a pet instead.
