Summit County Animal Control and Shelter

We are entirely made up of volunteers. There is more to our facilities than meets the eye.

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.

We are a group of devoted volunteers that do everything in our power to meet the needs of the animals at Charlie's Place and to support local companion animals and their owners when we can.

In July 2007, Charlie's Place began accepting customers. Since then, hundreds of abandoned animals have found new homes, and Helen's dream for the shelter has not changed.

The shelter provides dog licenses, microchipping, spay/neuter vouchers for both cats and dogs, and surrender and adoption services to the general public.

A 501(c)3 non-profit organization called Colorado Greyhound Adoption (CGA) is dedicated to the adoption and placement of greyhounds. Since we are entirely run by volunteers, individual homes foster the dogs that are available.
