Thank you for helping us, help them, one paw at a time. 

La Plata County Humane Society is an open admission shelter and private 501(c)(3) non-profit serving La Plata County in southwest Colorado. LPCHS has been serving our community since 1971! We provide the following services: adoption, animal protection, lost & found, licensing, low-cost spay/neuter, vaccination and microchipping, and free trap-neuter-release for community cats. Each year, we provide shelter, protection, and care for more than 2,000 pets in need and provide low-cost services to another 2,000 owned pets. 

Year after year, LPCHS successfully rehomes more than 90% of the animals in our care, earning LPCHS recognition as a no-kill shelter.

Since 2018, we have increased the number of pets served through our low-cost services by 97%!

Your gifts save & protect companion animals.

Gift them the second chance they deserve now.

Ben was found, lost and alone at a campsite and was starving and very dehydrated when brought into our care. He was very shut down and scared, after facing who-knows what out in the world. Little by little, he began to feel safe and open up to be the sweetest dog! He was adopted after about a month in our care to a loving family with kids that absolutely adore him.

Red was in our care for 152 days before getting adopted by a lovely family!
