Staff & Volunteer Testimonials:

"A sweeter fella could not be found. I love how engaged River is when he is with you."

"Ugh be still my heart. River what a handsome handsome boy. He's on the older side but that doesn't stop him! He loves going for long walks and has a lot of energy. My favorite thing about River (other than his squishable face) is his tail! It sticks straight up into the air like an antenna and I think it's just too cute."

"As sweet as his picture. So calm and gentle, River is a benevolent creature."

How to adopt a pet

If you are interested in adopting an animal on our website, please call us at 303.772.1232 for more information or come in during our regular business hours.

Animals may also be placed on “hold”. There is a $30 non-refundable, non-transferrable fee for placing a hold on an animal. The hold fee is used to help care for the animals and does not apply towards your final adoption fees.

Adoption Fees and Information ›


We make every effort to keep these pages up to date. However, there is an unavoidable delay after adoption of an animal before the page can be updated. Any animal you see here may no longer be available for adoption. Feel free to come in and visit!

Due to scientific studies that indicate the unreliability of visual breed identification, unless an animal is brought to us with DNA results or AKC paperwork, we can only presume that animal is a mix of various breeds. Due to this fact, we will list those animals as “mix”.

Our organization offers 24PetWatch microchips, which include free registration into the 24PetWatch pet recovery service. For more information visit www.24petwatch.com or call 1-866-597-2424.
