Now that we are established in the community we need more room & resources. Isolation rooms to prevent the spread of disease, Indoor/outdoor kennels for fear aggressive animals so they can calm down & realize they are safe. The ability to continue what we're doing in a larger, safer shelter. .
Every time we save an animal we know we're here for all the right reasons. Testimonials should come directly from the people that have worked with us and we would be happy to connect you with some of them. You may also contact the City of Fort Morgan and ask them about our presence in Morgan County, as well as the City Code Enforcers that work with us daily. We are sure they will acknowledge the care and comfort that we extend to all the animals that come into our shelter and the great advancements we have accomplished since organizing.
The purpose of the Fort Morgan Humane Society is the prevention of cruelty and neglect to animals, to relieve animals' suffering. spread the humane treatment of animals through education, and promote ethical treatment of all animals.
The Fort Morgan Humane Society officially organized in 2006. Prior to us, the city run facility had a 19% euthanasia rate similar to many municipalities. After the city agreed to let the Fort Morgan Humane Society take over the animal issue as a humane society the euthanasia rate dropped to BELOW 1%, classifying us as a "No kill" shelter according to state guidelines. Those animals euthanized because of insurmountable circumstances (court cases, extensive non-recoverable injuries, etc) make our hearts ache, but we keep working for the ones we can help. ALL animals are spayed or neutered before being adopted. And the results of this are shown in our decreasing Intake numbers. Our Board is a "working" board....always stepping in to fill the gaps. Many Board members have come and gone in 11 years. But the bottom line is that we ARE still here.
