The tornado that rocked northern Colorado on May 22 did more that disrupt lives, it also displaced many pets. That’s why the Weld County Animal Response Team (CART) rescued around 120 animals.

Of those animals, the Weld County Sheriff’s Office says 68 percent were dogs, 25 percent cats and 7 percent reptiles.  

First the animals were taken to the Windsor Recreation Center, but because that is an outside location, they were then moved to the Humane Society of Weld County in Evans.  

Anyone who lives in the area (or knows someone who does) and is missing their pet can call the Humane Society at 970-506-9550.

The CART is made up of animal control offices with the Weld County Sheriff’s Office, Firestone Police Department and the Dacono Police Department as well as workers at the Humane Society of Weld County, Westridge Animal Hospital, Alpine Animal Hospital, Vets Animal Hospital and the Eagle Spirit Mobile Clinic.

• Animal Guides Q&A Sometimes you can crave things that aren’t very good for you? That’s not from instinct. Addiction is a human trait. Most animals will sniff beer and refuse to drink, and they flee smoke. My first power animal was a skunk! Oh yes, mustelids are quite spirited. If you need to......
