Resources to help you make an informed decision.
Dogs are complex animals that may display a variety of different behaviors in any given situation. Learn the sign of stress and safety tips for happy tails and plenty of play.
Animal Care is a critical, hands-on volunteer role that helps ensure each animal has a healthy, safe, and clean environment during their time in shelter.
For 115 years, Humane Colorado, formerly the Dumb Friends League, has helped end animal homelessness and pet suffering across Colorado.
Every animal’s journey through Humane Colorado is filled with compassion and care, thanks to your support.
The costs for animal care are rising. On average, Humane Colorado invests over $800 in one pet’s shelter journey for a lifetime of love in their ideal home.
With over 40,000 animals served by Humane Colorado and our various programs every year, vulnerable animals need your help now more than ever.

We are a safe haven for animals and the people that love them. We believe a more humane Colorado is possible and work towards it through community-centered programs.
Your donations help us provide low-cost preventative pet care through spay and neuter clinics, vaccine clinics, urgent care services through the Veterinary Hospital at CSU Spur.
Your dedication to vulnerable pets means we are able to impact change in our communities, allowing us to work with policy makers and law enforcement, and educate on responsible pet guardianship.
Your support sponsors programs such as Pet Assist which helps the most vulnerable people in our community keep their pets by providing temporary housing for animals during times of transition or uncertainty.
Your gifts mean we can help even more companion animals through the Harmony Equine Center. Here, we provide expert, specialized care to abused and neglected equines including horses, mules, donkeys, giving them a second chance at a great life.
