🐾🐱Our shelter is full of wonderful adult cats who are patiently waiting for their second chance. They’re calm, cuddly, and already have their personalities shining. Kittens are available too, but our adults need you most.
We’re running out of room, and every adoption helps us save another life. Come meet your new best friend.

🐾 Adoptable & Adorable 🐾
We’ve had a big influx of stray dogs arrive at the shelter, pushing us to capacity and to keep making room for the new pups who need us, we’re hoping these sweet faces find their forever homes soon. If you’ve been thinking about adopting, now’s a wonderful time to meet your new best friend. If you're unable to adopt at this time, please consider sharing.

✨Kodak (now Ambrose) is Home! ✨

Kodak came to us heartworm positive after arriving from another shelter. Thanks to the generosity of Friends of Rescue Animals we were able to begin his heartworm treatment right away at no cost to his future family.

He spent his treatment period in a foster to adopt home, healing and settling in. On Friday, right after receiving his final heartworm treatment, he made it official.

Kodak, now Ambrose, is adopted and ready to enjoy a healthy, happy life with his new family. FRAs made this transformation possible, and we are so grateful.

Happy tails 🐾🐶

🐾Check out this week's Pet of the Week!🐾

Meet Nala, a sweet and shy 3-year-old pitbull mix currently at our shelter. Nala is looking for a loving home where she can feel safe and cherished. Nala would thrive in a cat-free environment, where she can be the center of attention and not have to share her space with feline friends. Adopting Nala means giving her the chance to blossom and become your devoted friend.

Feeling extra grateful this !
Last week, Mrs. Roberts’ TK class at Arapaho Day School held a fundraiser and chose to donate their earnings to our shelter pets. These amazing students showed such kindness and generosity, and their support means so much to our animals.
Thank you to Mrs. Roberts and her class for helping make a difference in our community. We’re proud of the love you’re spreading!
