Our Mission

Connecting Pets, People, and Community While Saving Lives.

We Believe Pets & People Live Better Together.

Since 1994, we have served Ouray, Montrose, and San Miguel counties in Southwest Colorado. We work to address the needs of homeless pets in this region and beyond. We save lives through our Shelter Programs & Services while developing effective Education and Prevention Programs. Our low-cost veterinary services provides options for our communities to keep pets healthy and in their homes.
