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. 

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.

Mission

Our mission is to provide a safe haven for animals in need, promote adoptions, humanely reduce pet overpopulation through spay/neuter programs, support lifelong pet ownership, and to educate the community.

Background Statement

Our Commitment: we do not euthanize animals based on shelter capacity or length of stay.

No matter how much care an animal needs, or no matter how long it takes for one to get adopted, we are committed to the well-being of each and every animal that enters the shelter. We spend whatever time, money, and energy it takes – and we explore all options available – to place animals with loving families. Sometimes, we transfer animals to like-minded shelters and rescue organizations for increased adoption options.

Unfortunately, sometimes there are severe or terminal circumstances where saving an animal simply is not humane and euthanasia is an act of compassion.

We have a track record of placing at least 95% of our animals into forever homes!
