 | | Longmont Humane Society- Longmont Humane Society is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to the | | | protection of animals. We provide temporary shelter to thousands of animals every year: dogs, cats, small mammals,
and birds who are lost, abandoned, or surrendered. Loving attention, nutritious food, meticulous health care and
daily exercise are standard parts of the high-quality care provided to each animal.
|
| | Boulder Humane Society- It is the mission of the Humane Society of Boulder Valley to protect and enhance the | | | lives of companion animals by promoting healthy relationships between pets and people. We were founded more
than a century ago in 1902, yet this mission holds true today as we counter animal neglect and cruelty and partner
with other animal welfare organizations, sharing our mutual mission of saving more animals’ lives.
|
| | Dumb Friends League- Founded in 1910, the Dumb Friends League is a national leader in providing humane care | | | to lost and abandoned animals, rescuing sick, injured and abused animals, adopting pets to new homes, helping
pets stay in homes, and educating pet owners and the public about the needs of companion animals.
|
| | The Humane Society of Weld County- It is a priority of the Humane Society of Weld County to adopt out healthy | | | and behaviorally sound animals to our caring community. Our adoption fees help to offset the cost of evaluation,
housing, feeding and medical care for the thousands of animals who need our help every year. It costs the shelter
about $25 per day for each animal.
|
| | Larimer Humane Society- Serving northern Colorado since 1969, Larimer Humane Society is an independent | | | nonprofit organization that provides shelter and care to stray and homeless domestic animals, and rehabilitation for
injured, orphaned and ill wild animals. Larimer Humane Society’s many services are designed to enhance and

Colorado Breed Rescues, Shelters and Adoptions Sites
| | National Mill Dog Rescue- National Mill Dog Rescue began. We have pledged to put an end to the cruelty and evil | | | of the commercial breeding industry. (Industry! Indeed.) Also more commonly known as puppy mills. We do this by
educating the public about puppy mills and letting them know that buying dogs in a pet store is wrong. There are
many reputable breeders and shelters from which to get dogs.
|
| | Colorado Puppy Rescue- The mission of Colorado Puppy Rescue shall be to rescue young puppies needing | | | homes, provide them with medical attention and place them into an adoptive home. Of particular interest will be
rescue efforts carried out primarily in rural areas of great need. Providing a placement system whereby puppies that
are not accepted by other organizations for whatever reason, can be placed into homes, rather than be destroyed.
|
| | Table Mountain Animal Center- Founded in 1976 by an intergovernmental agreement, originally, the Jefferson | | | Animal Shelter served as the impound facility for unincorporated Jefferson County and the cities of Adoptions,
Lakewood and Wheat Ridge. After years of success, the Jefferson Animal Shelter reevaluated its mission and goals
in 1994 to accommodate growing demands on the facility and changes in the external environment. As part of the
reevaluation, the shelter changed its name to Table Mountain Animal Center (TMAC). With the new name came
expanded services, more efficient operations and greater public outreach, including the addition of the City of
Golden as a member agency.
|
| | Adams County Animal Shelter- The Adams County Animal Shelter/Adoption Center provides animals for adoption | | | to the public. Within the shelter's operations, kennel services are provided for the Cities of Northglenn and Thornton
and unincorporated Adams County. Shelter administration manages citizen inquiries, maintains records of adoptions,
reclaims, summons and billing records. Animal control enforces the Adams County animal control regulations and
dispatches officers, when necessary, to provide animal control services.
|
| | Feathered Family- Feathered Family Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the health and | | | welfare of exotic birds, specializing in working with behaviorally challenged or feather abusing parrots. We provide
rescue, adoption, sanctuary and placement assistance for all exotic birds, along with information for the parrot owner
or those interested in adding a parrot to their life.
|
| | Colorado Pit Bull Rescue- We are a rescue for desperate Pit Bulls with no where else to go. All of our Pit Bulls are | | | pulled from shelters all over the country. We provide the love and care our fosters need until a permanent home can
be found. All of our fosters will be spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, house and crate
trained, and enrolled in basic obedience when needed.
|
| | Petfinder- Petfinder is an on-line, searchable database of animals that need homes. It is also a directory of over | | | 12,500 animal shelters and adoption organizations across the USA, Canada and Mexico. Organizations maintain
their own home pages and available pet database.
|
| | Stop Puppy Mills- Puppy mills are nothing new. These mass dog-breeding operations have been around for | | | decades. They continue to thrive because they prey on unwitting consumers who are smitten by too-cute-for-words
puppies in pet store windows and on fancy websites. But behind the friendly facade of the local pet shop, the
pastoral scenes on a "breeder's" website, or the neighborhood newspaper ad, there often lies a puppy mill. These
canine breeding facilities house dogs in shockingly poor conditions.
|
| | Prison Trained K9 Training Program- The Prison Trained K-9 Companion Program (PTKCP) is a program, which | | | provides the outside community with pre-trained dogs. Dogs graduating from this program fill many roles: everything
from a wonderfully trained basic family pet, a nursing home dog to very sophisticated assistance dogs which perform
a variety of tasks for their masters. These dogs are perfect pets for the youngest child to an elderly parent.
