Ways to Give

Our Mission

Working with our compassionate community, we will end pet homelessness and animal suffering.

Adoptable Animals

Humane Colorado has a diverse range of adoptable animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses. Each animal receives necessary medical care, behavior evaluations, and enrichment to prepare them for a successful transition into a loving family. 

Volunteer Opportunities

Humane Colorado offers a variety of volunteer opportunities to suit different interests and skills. Volunteering provides a rewarding experience for individuals while helping the organization care for animals in need.

Donate Today!

Your donation helps make our community a better place for animals and people.

Thanks to your support, we are able to provide for animals in our care while helping our community thrive through accessible veterinary care and education.

Featured Pet

Meet Miklo

Miklo is the bravest boy after passing our K9Courage Behavior program, loves snuggles, and would love to be by your side!

Here’s what our Animal Care team says about Miklo:
“Miklo is total blast to be around! He’s all about toy time, turbo-charged zoomies in the yard, slobbery treat anticipation, and handing out kisses like it’s his full-time job. This goofy, lovable guy is sure to light up your life in the best way possible!”

A lasting human-animal bond starts here
