Asked and answered
Come to weekend adoption hours — Saturday and Sunday, 11am to 4pm, at our West 38th Avenue door. No appointment and no application needed just to visit.
No. Meet first, apply after. One application covers your whole household, however many animals you end up considering.
It goes back into veterinary care for the animals still waiting: spay or neuter, vaccines, microchipping and any treatment they needed along the way. Fees vary by animal and are listed on each profile.
Yes. Bring your lease’s pet clause so we can match you with an animal who fits your building’s rules.
Food, crate, litter, bedding and all veterinary care come from us. You provide the space and the routine.
Anything from a week to several months. You tell us your limits up front and we plan around them.
Check for a collar, call Denver Animal Protection so the owner can find them, and get the animal scanned for a microchip at any vet or shelter. Then message us and we will help you work out the next step.
Message us before you start feeding on a schedule. We will talk through humane trapping, spay and neuter, and returning the cats to the block they know.
Sometimes, and only when a foster home is free. Often the pantry, a trainer referral or a landlord conversation solves the problem instead — ask us either way.
Yes. Our humane education volunteers bring a very patient dog to classrooms and scout troops across northwest Denver.
Come to a pantry Saturday morning. There is no form, no proof of income and no questions asked.
Absolutely. Adoption days, transport, photography, pantry mornings and events all need hands, and none of them require a spare room.
