PAWS

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

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

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.

Putting into action the highest standards of animal care, advocacy, and education to reunite pets with their owners.

With facilities in Poncha Springs and Buena Vista, the Ark-Valley Humane Society provides Chaffee County with an open admission animal shelter.

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.
