Throughout October we’ll be sharing many black cat posts to celebrate just how special they are. Our hope is that on November 1st, more people will open their hearts and homes to them.

Whether young or old, playful or shy, healthy or special needs, domestic or feral - every black cat deserves a chance at love and a safe home.

Did you hear about this law? If you see something, say something!

HB 25-1180 - No More Pets Sold in Public Places in Colorado - IS IN EFFECT AS OF August 6, 2025.

Thank you to Representatives Monica Duran and Ryan Armagost and Senators Scott Bright and Dylan Roberts for making this happen.

We expect the puppy millers to continue to drive into the state of Colorado and TRY and sell their puppies anyway.

IF YOU SEE SOMEONE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR IN A PUBLIC PLACE selling puppies - please call the police. Then, take a picture and send it to us so we can post it. Also, ask the police to give you an update on what was done to the low-life person(s) selling puppies or kittens out of their cars.

HB25-1180 makes this a CLASS 2 MISDEMEANOR. It is punishable by up to 120 days in jail, up to $750 in fines OR BOTH.

YAY. ANOTHER VICTORY TOWARD ERADICATING THE CRUEL PUPPY MILLS.

Attention! We have an overwhelming number of stray and adoptable animals at Montrose Animal Services. We are completely full of dogs and puppies.

If you are missing your dog, please check the link to see if your animal is in our care.

We have run out of kennel space, so incoming animals will be kept outside at night. It is crucial that you put identification on your animals and your working phone number.
