I’ve adopted 4 animals from the Denver animal shelter, 2 ferrets, a cat and a dog, and each time the process was super informative but still quick. You can tell the volunteers here know what they’re talking about, and they make sure to let you know if any potential issues you’ll be dealing with in the future after adopting the animal. Everyone here is super kind and welcoming and this is the place I recommend everyone goes when searching for a new furry friend. I somehow managed to find the four sweetest animals I’ve ever had at this shelter. Adopt, don’t shop! It’s worth it

We had a great experience adopting our new dog. They had a great Christmas week special that made it possible for our family. We were impressed by the facility, the friendly, helpful volunteer staff and of course finding the gentle sweetheart we had been looking for.

The Denver Animal Shelter is an exceptional facility! They are a dedicated team who take the extra time to make sure that the special animals are taken care of with the best veterinary services and matching animals to the right families. I especially appreciated the help that Aiden and his team provided in taking care of my new puppy!! I highly recommend them. Lori M
