ALERT
Be aware of scammers calling people who have lost their pets saying the animal is at Denver Animal Shelter (DAS) and injured. They say the owner must pay $500 for emergency surgery. Hang up. DAS does not take payment over the phone, only in person. Read more.
Lost pets brought to the Denver Animal Shelter without identification are held for five calendar days. Animals with identification are also held for five calendar days while their owners are contacted. Our online database is updated daily. After the five day hold, animals will be evaluated for appropriate outcome.
If you see your animal on our website, come immediately to the shelter or contact us by calling 720-913-1311 or 311. Visit the Redemption Process and Fees page for information about reclaiming your pet.
If you're looking to adopt a new pet, visit our View Adoptable Pets Online page. Animals listed below may already be available for adoption if they have been at Denver Animal Shelter beyond the five day hold period.
