History in the making
The Dumb Friends League has been committed to helping animals live better lives since 1910. Throughout Colorado, we provide compassionate care through comprehensive services for pets and horses who are vulnerable to homelessness, suffering, and abuse. Over the League’s 113-year history, our work has transformed many times over in response to the ever-evolving needs of animals and the people who love them most. And while change has always been a constant, our dedication to ending pet homelessness and animal suffering has never wavered.
Socially Conscious Sheltering
Creating the best outcomes for all animals. We are proud to be a Socially Conscious Animal Welfare Organization, which means we take in every unmanageable or homeless pet who comes to us for care and shelter. We also address the medical and behavioral needs of animals in our care and place all healthy and safe pets in loving homes. If an animal is suffering and cannot be helped, we will provide compassionate euthanasia.
Our mission
Working with our compassionate community, we will end pet homelessness and animal suffering.
Our community commitment
The Dumb Friends League is guided by Compassion for all animals who come through our doors— whether they are lost, relinquished, or suffering, we will give them the treatment and care they need.
Compassion for every person who enters our facilities— whether to adopt, to find their lost pet, or because they are unable to care for their pets and trust us to treat them with love and kindness.
Compassion for people and animals in our community— providing accessible services, investigating animal mistreatment and neglect, offering behavior counseling to pet owners, and delivering humane education to teach respect for animals, people, and the world we share.
