Animal Loving Flagstaff Shares the Love

(Published on - 12/10/2020 3:48:07 PM)

The community of Flagstaff has always been animal friendly. This year saw the animal lovers in the area shine as they made sure companion animals were well cared for. In particular, High Country Humane saw an outpouring of love and care. There were foster families who responded without hesitation when asked to care for bottle babies, both canine and feline, and provide that extra level of care for medical cases and senior animals. There were also donors who generously opened their wallets to ensure that needed additional resources were always available. And last but not least, the wonderful volunteers who willingly gave their time and energy and care. And all this care and support was coordinated by the hard-working, compassionate staff at High Country Humane, which includes a full-time in-house veterinary team.

Some of their remarkable achievements include:

  • 2,692 animals taken in so far in 2020
  • 1,923 of those adopted into new homes and 409 returned to their owners
  • A “Live Release Rate” of 97.3%, meaning that of the animals who entered High Country Humane, 97.3% were either adopted, returned to their owners, or transferred to another shelter or rescue.

Another feature offered by High Country Humane is their Pet Food Pantry. One of the most common reasons pet owners give up their companion is financial hardship. The HCH Pet Food Pantry is designed to help struggling families keep beloved pets in their homes. The pantry is supported entirely through community donations.

There is also the Working Cats Program. This program was designed to help feral or stray cats who can’t be adopted into traditional homes, but who still need a protected or sheltered living arrangement. The program places these cats in barns, flower shops, police stations, and other businesses looking for inexpensive, safe, and effective rodent control.

While 2020 has been a year unlike any other, there has been much to be grateful for and acknowledged when it comes to animal care in the Flagstaff community!
