You can make a difference for Denver's homeless and abused animals!

All donations are used to directly help the animals we serve - both at our shelter and in the community:

Animal Care & Enrichment
Spay/Neuter Services
Emergency Medical Care
Community Outreach
Humane Education
Foster Care

Giving Options

Monetary donations help shelter staff purchase food and necessities for the shelter animals.
