Critter Classifieds is a column where you can meet four-legged friends who need your love and support. Boulder Weekly is working with Longmont Humane Society to feature a few pets each week who are looking for forever homes. We hope to bring other organizations in on the fun in the future.
Longmont Humane Society provides temporary shelter to thousands of animals every year, including dogs, cats and small mammals who are lost, surrendered or abandoned. Visit the shelter to learn more about these featured pets and others up for adoption and fostering. Head to LHS’ website to learn more about how your donation can support animal welfare.

Minnie
A staff favorite, 3-year-old Minnie has a heart of gold but can be extremely shy and wary of strange people and dogs. She is in search of someone very patient to show her that the world is not so scary. Once she makes friends with her people, she is a big cuddle bug. Minnie needs a home where she can be the only pet due to her wariness of other animals. Because she gets nervous, Minnie would also do best in a home with older children who can help her learn about new places and experiences while also respecting her space.
Sam
Mr. Sam has a zest for life that is contagious! This little guy is 2 years old but finds something new to explore daily. At 26 pounds, Sam is looking to lose a little weight, but he makes an excellent hiking companion. Sam would do well in a home with another dog to run around with and chase. When he was tested with cats, Sam became a little over-excited, so he would do best in a home without cats to annoy. Even though he is a little guy, Sam does not enjoy being picked up, so he needs to go to a home with older children who will respect his boundaries.
Mapleshade
Beauty and brains… that’s Mapleshade! This 5-year-old girl is the complete package and is ready to find her forever home. Upon arriving at LHS, Ms. Mapleshade had bad matting all over her body, but we think her haircut has only made her cuter! Mapleshade loves people of all ages and would be great in a home with kids. She is very mellow and loves nothing more than to curl up in your lap and get scratches behind her ears.
