Animal Organizations in Colorado
Colorado Humane Society (CHS)
2760 South Platte River Drive
Englewood, Colorado 80110

Colorado Humane is Colorado’s only open admission shelter where no clock is ticking. As an open-door shelter, no animal is turned away. With no clock ticking, CHS does not euthanize for money or space considerations. It is relatively easy to accomplish one of these goals, but to stand firm for both is a Herculean task. This is what sets us apart from every other organization in Colorado.

The MaxFund is a TRUE no-kill shelter.

EVERY animal is kept until its owner is found or it is placed in a new adoptive home. The only reason for euthanasia is when it is in the humane interest of the animal.

Additional Resources and Information
HomeAgain®
“Always looking out for your pet.”
1-888-HOMEAGAIN (1-888-466-3242)
www.homeagain.com
You may think that your pet is protected from getting lost. But accidents happen, and some things – like hurricanes and other natural disasters – are out of your control. In fact, one in three pets will become lost during their lifetime. And according to the American Humane Association, only about 17 percent of lost dogs and two percent of lost cats ever find their way back to their original owners. Almost 4 million pets are euthanized every year because their owners can’t be found in time – if a shelter cannot determine a pet’s owner or medical history, the pet may be euthanized in as few as three days. To help give your pet the best chance of being identified should he ever become lost, have him implanted with the HomeAgain microchip.
Poison Control
Call (888) 426-4435
www.aspca.org
As the premier animal poison control center in North America, the APCC is your best resource for any animal poison-related emergency, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you think that your pet may have ingested a potentially poisonous substance, make the call that can make all the difference.

If you have a special fondness for a particular breed, there are many breed-specific rescue groups that operate through foster homes to rescue animals. You can find these groups locally through most search engines. |
