The Aspen Animal Shelter is a privatized, for-profit, self-sustaining, no-kill shelter which is primarily supported by income created via The Aspen Boarding Kennel. The shelter provides sanctuary for the homeless dogs and cats of Aspen, Pitkin County and beyond. We do house the occasional bird or rabbit as well. Each homeless pet is neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped prior to adoption.

Volunteers are welcomed, and encouraged, to walk the dogs, brush the cats, or even wash the dirty bowls.
