WE ARE SO FURIOUS!! AN ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SHELTER. DO NOT RESCUE FROM HERE…read more My mom had applied to adopt a cat from this place over two weeks ago. The director said the cat she was interested in wasn't up for adoption yet and she would have to wait. After many days of my mom calling and talking to the lady she basically said that the cat was already hers she just had to wait for him to be available. Today my mom called the shelter again and the director said THAT THEY GAVE THE CAT AWAY!!!! my mom was so devastated. We just lost our family dog and she was so excited and looking forward to getting a new cat. The director said it was because they had heard my mom say she was going to make it an outdoor cat, WHICH IS COMPLETELY FALSE. first, my mom would never do that. She specifically wants a cuddly indoor kitty as a companion, second the shelter specifically said she cant have an outdoor cat and my mom agreed with that part of the contract. It makes absolutely no sense. I could tell from the very beginning something was off about this rescue and I was right. I'm not sure what they're doing over there but whatever it is it's not good. We will probably be getting in contact with a lawyer. DO NOT ADOPT FROM HERE!!!

The team at Pawsco is incredibly friendly and efficient - I really enjoyed working with them…read more The time was right to add a furry addition to my house, so I submitted an online application for a kitten that was recently listed as available for adoption. This was about 2 days before Christmas. I was contacted by one of their adoption coordinators not long after and by New Year's Day I was having a meet-and-greet with my potential kitty. Meet and greet went awesome and I signed the adoption papers that day. In less than a week I'd found my new buddy! The adoption cost ($75) covered neuter, vaccines, microchip and more. I felt great knowing I was rescuing a safe and healthy animal. His foster mom was fantastic as were all the Pawsco people I interacted with. Everyone was very helpful and responsive - it was an easy process and I would recommend them to anyone looking to adopt a pet.

We have had nothing but relatively positive experiences with Humane Colorado (DDFL when we used…read morethem). We adopted our Boston Terrier, Stella, from the Buddy Center in Castle Rock back in Nov 2012 as a 11month old. She is now 13! We got so lucky as someone else was visiting her when we arrived. Back then you could put a wish list if a breed online and would be contacted if one came in to one of the shelters. Not anymore but we loved that feature. We found a stray Boston Terrier puppy a few years ago and took her to DDFL to see if so anyone lost a pet and since she bonded with us and our other Boston overnight, we asked them please please contact us if no one claims her, and a week or two later we were contacted and then had to adopt her. She is now called Beans and is about 4 years old. We sadly had to put down our 11 year old Bassethound a year prior to adopting our Beans, and took him to DDFL. The hardest thing ever to do, and he was my first pet. They were great with us, let us take a lot of time to say goodbyes. I only wish we were allowed back during the euthanasia, I really didn't like just sending him off like that. They do offer you ashes and paw prints after as well which was very nice.

Leslie A. Morton Center has been my go-to for years when finding a new pet. I have adopted many a…read morewonderful companion through them. Their counselors are knowledgable about every animal onsite. But when going through the process, especially if you see a dog or cat that you are interested in on the website, you best get there early!!! It took me several trips in order to find my newest companion. I also had to return a puppy during the selection process. I brought her home for three weeks, but she was extremely mouthy, destructive and very high energy! It broke my heart to take her back. The best thing about visiting the Center is getting to know all the animals. I know in a glance who has been there the longest and who will be adopted first. They currently have a large selection of Pit Bull Terriers, Dobermans, Mixed breed dogs and a lovely bulldog named Trixie. They all need good homes and if my home were large enough, they would all come and live with me! The down side is their first come first serve policy. It can be frustrating to see a dog on the website that you want to visit, then watch them being adopted when you get there to visit them. There are many lovely animals there that need good homes. Show up early, visit with your potential new companion and enjoy the experience!

The staff was…read moreincredibly helpful and went out of their way to make sure that Melvin was a good fit for our family and our little Shih Tzu Sophie.

A month ago, my friend and I relinquished our elderly cat to this shelter, BECAUSE it was a…read more"no-kill" shelter. I saw other cats on the website that had special needs, and felt more calm about her going to that shelter. My friend gave all the vet records and full disclosure about her health issues, too. Well, it turns out that within ONE month, they decided to euthanize her!! As my friend said, if I had known they were going to do that, I would have preferred to either find a different shelter or make other efforts to re-home her. At the very least, if we had decided that "putting her down" was in her best interest, I would have wanted to be present for her last moments.

We requested a medium sized dog that didn't shed much fur due to my mom being allergic, and they provided. Their dogs are healthy, and were abandoned by previous owners, meaning they might take longer to bond to you than other dogs, but they wound up really sweet. The dogs are average price, and they have a very neat doggo area, with a big area where they take the dogs and pop them in there with you to see if they might like you.

Made an order for my dog for a hiking trip that was weeks out from order. Trip is nearing without product being sent. I reached out 4x total between before shipping and after and received zero replies. I had asked them to cancel when my trip was here and still had not shipped. They did not cancel. Then I asked to return once it arrived since the trip had already passed and could not get a reply. Submitted a claim with better business bureau, and they also could not get a response from the business. Finally, I engaged my credit card company and had the order total refunded.

My parents adopted a lovely dog from DAS a couple years ago, and so my Husband and I decided to go…read moreto DAS as well once we decided we were ready. The staff is incredibly thorough, but also please also be advised you will probably be there **2 HOURS** if you whole heartedly plan to seriously adopt a new family member. I've seen a lot of complaints that this shelter is short staffed, but keep in mind, many of these people are volunteers trying to help re-home animals to caring, loving owners. The wait was so worth it. We adopted our newest family member, a deaf stray, who is incredibly well behaved. The staff gave us every last detail on his health, behavior, and known history. The handlers were incredibly thoughtful when introducing us to our new pet. They also include several vaccinations, surgery, and a microchip in the adoption fees. They send you home with a list of vets that give you your first check up free (though keep in mind we still needed to add some services such as heart worm). I love Denver Animal shelter and appreciate everything they do!

They were turned in by a neighbor, and this organization vaccinated our dogs without permission, both were chipped and they lied that one was chipped and one wasn't (I called my vet immediately after finding out they were over vaccinated and to find out why they weren't chipped and the vet said that both of them were chipped). This woman said that the chip had moved, that's a lie. Then without confirming the owner they re innocolated the animals.Then they tried to charge us $75!!!! Don't do this to a stray, take them to a vet or Max Fund.

We adopted one of the most beautiful huskies I have ever seen and her personality is so awesome…read more However we have had a major medical experience with him which cost over $1500, which I was more then happy to pay. Speaking with my father who had to pull teeth to get the dog vaccine papers was given some paper work from the vet. When looking through he saw a few things that stood out about the dogs past. Before he could read in depth the vet took the paper work back and said he was not to have given that out. The paper work we did receive did not have all the information. Given these are rescue dogs there could always be issues but for them to with hold know information is just not right...Be weary when dealing with this rescue group.
