Aspen Animal Shelter

The Aspen Animal Shelter is a privatized, self-sustaining animal rescue that combines a boarding kennel, a grooming salon and a pet shop to generate the income needed to provide sanctuary for the homeless dogs and cats of Aspen, Pitkin County and beyond. We shelter the occasional bird and rabbit as well. Every homeless pet is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to adoption. We are open every day of the year from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. We welcome and encourage you to visit and socialize with the animals. Please call us at 970.544.0206 with questions or comments, or email us at aspenanimalshelter@gmail.com.

Adoptable Dogs

Allie

Allie is a gentle, sweet, 12-year-old Black Lab/Pit Bull mix who is awesome with all people, including children, but she can behave aggressively towards other dogs. Allie will thrive in a knowledgeable, responsible home as the only pet.

Bandit and Thor

Bandit and Thor are gorgeous, happy, friendly, 3-year-old Siberian Husky siblings who get along well with other dogs. Due to a severe lack of socialization when they were young, they are initially wary of new people, but are willing and eager to make friends with those who devote time and display patience in order to win their trust.

Texas

Texas is an active, athletic, 3-year-old Pit bull mix who gets along great with other dogs. He is initially wary of new people, but warms up once he gets to know you. Beyond being wary of new people, Texas is territorial  of his people and his property. In short, Texas will require an extremely responsible, knowledgeable home.

ZuZu and Petals

ZuZu and Petals are happy, friendly, gentle, sweet, 7-year-old sisters who get along well with everyone. They look like Beagle mixes with a possible splash of Cattle dog, but we don’t know for sure. ZuZu and Petals would love to be adopted together.

 

Irie

Irie is a quiet, independent, 13-year-old Cattle dog who gets along okay with other dogs, but does not seek their companionship. She accepts new people once they have earned her trust, but is not hungry for attention. In short, Irie will thrive in a quiet household offering patience and love, allowing Irie to be Irie, and not forcing her into situations outside of her comfort zone including, but not limited to, walking through town during Christmas, and/or attending crowded holiday parties 😊

Nathan

Nathan is a handsome, athletic, affectionate, medium-sized, 3-year-old mutt who gets along great with people and other dogs. He loves nothing more than exploring the world with family and friends. He can be restless in the house, and does suffer from severe separation anxiety when his family leaves him home alone. Thus, Nathan will require a knowledgeable family that can help him relax and find peace when he is at home.
