Ark Valley Humane Society

Through community outreach and youth programs, we aim to inform the public. We also support low-cost spay and neuter options and care for the animals in our care while they wait to be adopted.

Crested Butte and the surrounding areas north of Round Mountain are served by PAWS, the Paradise Animal Welfare Society, which offers animal welfare services.

A small nonprofit organization called Gunnison Underdog Rescue (GUR) is committed to saving, nurturing, and placing unwanted and needy animals for adoption.

The Aspen Animal Shelter is a for-profit, self-sufficient animal rescue that combines a boarding kennel, a grooming parlor, and a pet store to raise the money required to provide sanctuary for the stray dogs and cats of Aspen, Pitkin County, and beyond.

Our goal is to advance animal welfare by providing for homeless animals and finding them long-term homes.

We are extremely fortunate to reside in a community that supports its animal shelter and animal control, and that prioritizes pet ownership.
