Foothills Animal Shelter is one of the leading adoption facilities and educational resources for animal care in the state of Colorado. As an open-admissions shelter (never turning away an animal) and one of the largest animal shelters in the metro Denver area, we take in nearly 10,000 animals each year. The Shelter’s adoption rate is exceptional and in 2008, exceeded the average of the seven largest animal shelters in the Denver area. Foothills Animal Shelter is a true community resource that offers a broad variety of animal welfare programs and services. Low-cost spaying/neutering, vaccinations, microchipping and dog licensing are some of the services offered to the public.

Additionally, Foothills Animal Shelter works closely with your city’s animal welfare officers across Jefferson County to keep our neighborhoods safe, educate the community and protect innocent animals. Golden, Morrison, Mt. View, Edgewater, Westminster, Arvada, Lakewood, unincorporated Jefferson County and Wheat Ridge are all communities served by the Shelter.
