PROGRAMS

Adopt

Give a homeless pet the second chance they deserve by adopting at High Country Humane. Every pet receives medical care, behavioral evaluation, and love while they wait for a forever family. When you adopt, you’re not just gaining a companion, you’re saving a life and opening space for the next pet in need. Click below to learn more about the process and see our adoptable pets.

Foster

Every year we see thousands of animals come through our doors and we’re able to find them loving homes with the help of INCREDIBLE foster families just like YOU! Foster opportunities include adult dogs, litters of puppies & kittens, small critters, and even bottle babies. We provide the food & supplies, and cover all medical during the foster period, you provide a loving home & care. Speak with our team if you have any questions!

High Country Hikers

Fresh air, wagging tails, and trail time with a purpose. Our shelter dog hiking program gives pups a chance to explore, build confidence, and soak up the smells of the great outdoors. These adventures provide enrichment, exercise, and valuable socialization while they wait for their forever homes. It’s a huge win for dogs and the humans who love the outdoors!

Companion Cats for Seniors

We believe the love of a cat can make life brighter at any age. Through our program, we are able to waive adoption fees for specific cats when adopted by a senior. All cats receive full veterinary care and follow our regular adoption process before going home. It’s our way of helping senior cats and senior people find comfort and companionship together.

Community Cats/Barn Cats

Our Community Cat and Barn Cat programs support cats who are happiest living and working outdoors rather than in traditional homes. Through safe placement, spay/neuter, and community support, these cats get a second chance in environments where they can truly flourish. It’s a humane solution that benefits both the cats and the community.
