Having a pet tag with your contact information can help ensure your pet remains safe if they are ever lost. When you adopt a dog or cat at our 's adoption event this weekend (or anytime), you can make a custom tag before you head home with your new family member!

Thank you to Subaru of America, Inc. and Groove Subaru for generously providing us with a pet tag engraver so you can start pet ownership off on a safer foot 😌

When Jazz arrived at the League, she was suffering from the pain, fear, and neglect she had experienced in her previous home. Sadly, she and her canine companion both had open wounds in their necks where their collars had become embedded.

Our team responded quickly, providing them with specialized veterinary care, behavioral support, and the gentle peace of dedicated foster homes.

Now, Jazz is living with a caring family all her own. And while there are some things she remains unsure of, the love that she has always deserved is no longer one of them.

Head to our link in bio to read her full story 🥰

Student Jake Scott has been doing his extern rotation with us and let us know the impact this program has had in preparing for his future career as a veterinarian!​

"My externship at Dumb Friends League allowed me to grow in all aspects of being a doctor. I was able to be a part of a wide diversity of surgical procedures and medicine appointments. The doctors and technicians worked really hard to make this experience amazing and really allowed me to gain confidence in my abilities. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity!"

These critical teaching moments are made possible thanks to the financial support of Hill’s Pet Nutrition, which gives students the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in class by engaging in experiential learning with seasoned veterinarians and veterinary technicians.

In partnership with The Wilhite Law Firm - CO we’re excited to feature one of our longest stay adoptable pets, Cody!

And you guessed it, Cody wants as many tennis balls that you can provide 😂 Cody is a super sweet and happy 4 year old pup who is more than ready to find his new family! He does extremely well on leash, loves to play fetch and enjoy a lay in the pool, and we've even been told that he is likely housetrained as well!

He doesn't quite understand how large he is, so we're recommending older kids in the home, so they don't get knocked over when he wants some pets 😋 If you have a pup currently in the home, bring them in for a visit! Cody is waiting 🥰

Last weekend we gathered with our many amazing supporters to celebrate Tails of Hope! To our Tails of Hope guests – we were so honored by your presence and everything you did to help make the night an outstanding success! Your generosity helps us lead with compassion and evolve each day to meet the growing needs of animals, their families, and our shared community. Because of your support, vulnerable animals at the League and across Colorado have what they need to start their next chapters – this time, filled with hope. We cannot say it enough, but we can try, thank you!

The people have spoken and Leo was the winner for our "what breed ARE you?" poll!

During this year’s Furry Scurry, we received Basepaws DNA tests as a fundraising prize for those who raised more than $1,250, as well as some additional tests to use in shelter!

We have so many unique cats and dogs in our care and cannot wait for our first ever in-shelter breed reveal journey. Stay tuned while we await results for Leo and be sure to share your guesses with us while we wait!

Leo is still available for adoption and you can learn more about this lovable pup at the link in our bio!

Did you know that we do foster sleepovers?! Good boy Cody got a little break from life at the shelter and his foster gave him an A+ all around! Here's what she had to say!

"Cody is the easiest foster I've had, and a cuddle buddy to his core. He knows several basic commands, is potty trained, has no issue being in a crate, and never barked the entire time I had him! He couldn't be more gentle when taking toys and treats, and really just wants someone to throw his ball and cuddle on the couch with him!"

Cody is still waiting for his person, so come visit him at our Leslie A. Malone Center!

Hermonie and Ginny have been enjoying many feasts in the Great Hall, but what they'd like more than anything is to explore the wizarding world outside of Hogwarts, er...we mean the League 🤭
We have so many tiny cuties who are ready to go home with you so stop by for a visit!

Meet Breezy 🥹

This sweet senior is 9 years young and wants to do nothing more than to spend her golden years with her perfect person 🥰 She's a goofy lil goober, loves kisses, loves treats, loves snuggles, and did we mention she loves kisses?

She’s ready to be your new best friend as an easy, breezy beautiful cover pup 💅 Stop by our Leslie A. Malone Center in Denver to see if you're the one she's been looking for!

Meet Smokey! The cutest patootist handsomest man, in our opinion that is 🤭

Smokey is just a bundle of love and wants nothing more than to give you kisses. He loves going on walks, especially if he can bring his favorite stuffy along. He would do great in a home that loves being active, but due to his history, he needs to be the only dog in the home.

Help us and visit with Smokey today! https://www.ddfl.org/adoption-share/?id=A0886371

It’s officially time to !!🐾

We’re so excited to partner with Hill’s Pet Nutrition, NBCUniversal, and Telemundo again this year to help shelter pets nationwide find their new families 🏡

Our friends at Telemundo kicked things off a little early and adopted sweet little Polka (now Chula) earlier this week after she snuggled her way into reporter Leslie Merchan's heart while she was gathering promo footage for Clear the Shelters!

This year's event lasts from today, August 10th, until September 10th, will you help us reach our goal of 1,000 adoptions in the next month? Stop by any of our shelter locations and visit with one of the many amazing animals staying with us.

We have a pet for everyone so let’s get them out of the shelter and into their new homes!

Sweet staff favorite Georgie is a 6 year old absolute ham (a very sought after breed) who is ready to make your house his home 🥰 Here's what Animal Care team member Carla had to say!

"Georgie is more than ready to join your family and become your best friend! He loves long walks and smelling all the smells and is the perfect guy to chill out with after a long day. Meet Georgie today!!!"

Georgie was also invited for a foster sleepover recently where we were told he was very calm in the house and loooves finding exciting things to smell when he's on a walk! Stop by our Leslie A. Malone Center in Denver to visit with this sweet goober and see if he's the pup for you 🐶

In partnership with The The Wilhite Law Firm - CO we’re excited to feature one of our longest stay adoptable pets, Rocky!

Rocky is an absolute gem of a pup 💎 Coming in at just a year old, he is ready to find his person so he can grow up to be the best dog he can be!

He loves (loosely) playing fetch, giving kisses, and of course playing with water on a hot day 😌 Rocky does like to pull a bit on leash, but with a little training, this smart boy will be on his best behavior!

Rocky may have had a bit of a rough start in life, but he still has hope that the right family will come along to give him a second chance. Come visit him at our Leslie A. Malone Center in Denver today!
