The Humane Society of Pagosa Springs is proud to be a no-kill shelter; we dedicate as much time and resources as necessary to find the right home for every animal that comes through our doors. We also understand there are obstacles in the way of long-term pet ownership and have grown our pet retention services and resources to help the Pagosa Springs community overcome those barriers. As the only animal shelter serving homeless dogs and cats in Archuleta County, we reunite lost pets with their families, promote adoptions, provide free pet food to food pantries and individuals in need, offer low-cost vaccinations to the public, subsidize community spay/neuter, assist in emergency medical care and vet services to those that qualify, and aid feral cats TNR.Â
This holiday season, our shelter is filled to capacity, more so than ever before. Adoptions are down nationwide, and shelters all over are seeking alternative resources to care for their animals. We are so grateful for the loyal and generous support of Pagosa Springs that has enabled our work thus far, but we still need your help. Every dollar you give makes a difference in the lives of the pets in our care, as well as the people in our town. Please consider a meaningful donation to the well-being of the animals and people of Pagosa Springs.
Testimonials
"Great people! They truly have their animals' best interests at heart, and they do an excellent job of taking care of these beautiful creatures until they can find that "forever" home. I got a wonderful dog from them and couldn't be happier! If you're thinking about a rescue, dog or cat, be sure to check out the Humane Society of Pagosa Springs!"
----Bob Johnson, adopter of Jax
"I am so grateful to the Humane Society of Pagosa Springs for the emergency medical voucher I received to take my dear dog, Lexi, in to have the suspicious growth on her nose examined. She is so precious to me. I am unemployed at this time and was worried sick that delaying an exam could endanger her life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
----Steve Meier
"We had owned dogs for over 40 years but never had adopted one. We appreciated the competency, efficiency, and dedication of your professional staff.....who selected Ramone as a dog who would accommodate our needs and shepherded us through the adoption process, which went very smoothly......We feel blessed to have a wonderful companion like Ramone at our advanced ages, and we are confident that Ramone appreciates and enjoys being a happy family member."
-----Bernard and Ethel Kolbor, adopters of Ramone
