Park County Animal Shelter

Bridget curled up in her cozy corner of the Park County Animal Shelter, her striped fur neatly tucked around her small frame. The gentle tabby had been here for a while now, watching as other cats and dogs found their forever homes. She didn’t mind the shelter—it was warm, and the people were kind—but deep inside, she longs for more. Bridget has so much love to give. She isn't the type to demand attention, but oh, how she loves it when someone stops by to stroke her soft fur. She purrs endlessly, her golden eyes shining with gratitude. She is an affectionate cat, always ready to nuzzle a hand or curl up beside anyone willing to give her a moment of their time. She often imagines what it would be like to have a family of her own. Maybe a quiet person who would let her rest on their lap while they read a book. Or perhaps another cat or even a gentle dog to keep her company. She isn't picky—she just wants someone to love and to love her in return. One afternoon, as Bridget doze off to take a cat nap, she drifted into a dream... “Well, aren’t you a sweetheart?” Bridget turned her head and met the eyes of a kind-looking woman. The woman knelt down, extending her fingers for Bridget to sniff. Without hesitation, Bridget rubbed her head against them, purring instantly. “Oh, you’re perfect,” the woman whispered. Bridget’s heart fluttered with hope. Could this be it? Could this be her person? The shelter worker smiled. “Bridget is one of the sweetest cats here. She just wants to be loved.” The woman’s eyes softened. “I think she’s been waiting for me.” And just like that, Bridget’s wish came true. She nestled into the woman’s arms, knowing that she had finally found her place in the world—a home, a companion, and most importantly, love. Bridget woke from her dream still at the shelter. She remains hopeful as she patiently waits Would you be the one to make Bridget’s dream come true? Come meet her at the Park County Anima

🌸 Lily is Going Home! 🌸 Some stories touch our hearts in a special way, and Lily’s is one of them. This beautiful, long-haired sweetheart was brought back to the shelter when her owner had to undergo surgery and didn’t have anyone to care for her during recovery. While we made sure Lily was safe, loved, and well cared for, our hearts ached for her as she waited without a single adoption application. But today, something wonderful happened—Lily’s owner came back for her! 💖 After healing and getting back on his feet, he returned to bring his beloved girl home where she belongs. There’s nothing quite like seeing a pet reunited with their person. Lily is finally back where she is loved most, and we couldn’t be happier for her! Wishing them both many more years of love, snuggles, and happiness. #ReunitedAtLast #LilyIsHome #AdoptionJoy #ForeverFamily

This sweet yet timid girl just needs someone willing to give her the time and space to feel safe. Once she warms up, Jude will show you her gentle, independent nature—she enjoys pets but prefers to keep all four paws on the ground.

He’s the longest and oldest canine resident at PCAS who has had zero interest since coming to the shelter in July. He was one of the lucky pups who participated in our “Home for the Holidays” sleepover. Check out this heartwarming video made by his foster mom.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the town, Not a shelter dog stirred, not a whimper nor frown. Their kennels sat empty, the shelter was bare, Because kind-hearted families had shown them they care. Each pup was snuggled in blankets so tight, Dreaming of love on this magical night. With wagging tails and eyes full of cheer, They felt the true joy of Christmas this year. So thank you to all who opened your door, To give these sweet dogs the love they adore. For no dog deserves to be lonely tonight, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! 🎄🎄🎄
