Colorado Animal Rescue

With the goal of maintaining a safe neighborhood where we encourage responsible pet ownership through outreach, education, and enforcement, Animal Services offers care and shelter to stray animals in need.

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.

The Journey Home Animal Care Center serves as a community resource for animal welfare, encouraging responsible pet ownership while also providing temporary shelter and care for homeless animals.

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

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

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.
