Effective November 18, 2021, Montrose Animal Services will not share "courtesy posts" or any information about animals that are not in the custody of Montrose Animal Services. The purpose of the City of Montrose Animal Services adoption program is to find responsible, lifelong homes for animals that are suitable as family companions. Making such matches requires us to know the needs of the animals to be placed and that of their prospective adopters. We want to ensure that the animal will not be placed in a home where it may fail to be provided adequate food, water, shelter, veterinary care, and companionship. We also want to ensure that the animal is not placed with owners who allow them to roam the neighborhood, violate animal control laws, or reproduce adding to the community’s burden of unwanted animals. The City of Montrose Animal Services follows certain guidelines when considering an applicant for adoption of a pet. Some items that are taken into consideration are: adopter suitability for specific pet, adopter’s history of animal ownership, reason for wanting to adopt, suitable confinement, and children in the household and their ages. The City of Montrose Animal Services reserves the right to refuse to adopt an animal based on our adoption policy. The City of Montrose Animal Services does not adopt pets to be used as gifts. Before adopting any animal, The City of Montrose Animal Services asks that you consider your ability to provide the animal its basic needs, including food, shelter, companionship, veterinary care, grooming, training, and exercise. Special requirements of the breed and its suitability to your household should also be considered. The City of Montrose Animal Services will ask you to fill out a 2-page application and go through your background check. You must be over 21 years old. If you rent, we need your landlord's approval first. You can bring your rental lease stating that you are allowed to have pets in the property. Sometimes the landlord requires a pet deposit. It should be done first. We need to see your driver's license and current address. If your driver’s license doesn’t have the current address, bring proof of residence(utility bill, mail, etc) that states your name and current address. If you reside within the City of Montrose, you may have 2 dogs and 2 cats. All Adoptions are considered final. If for any reason you wish to return the adopted animal, you may do so within one week of the adoption date, with no consequences. After the one-week period, the animal may be returned; however, you will be subject to a relinquishment fee(in effect at the time of return). ADOPTION FEE WILL NOT BE REFUNDED for any animal returned to the shelter. Please understand that our questions are not meant to be intrusive or suspicious. Our careful approach to making satisfying, lifelong matches can spare your family a painful experience. For the animal, however, it can be a matter of life or death. Each pet in the Shelter has experienced at least one broken bond already.
Absolutely adorable! These 4 siblings, Blake, Reece, Quinn, and Cameron, are Karina's kittens and are approximately 3 months old. They are full of energy, very playful, and in excellent health. Their fur is incredibly soft and smooth, making them irresistible to hold. They will be ready to be adopted and go to their forever homes this Friday!
Meet our beautiful brown tabby cat, Karina. She is approximately 2 years old and recently had 4 kittens. She has done a great job raising them, and now it's her turn to receive the care she deserves. Karina is a quiet and affectionate cat. She will be spayed this Thursday and will be ready to go home on Friday!
Are you ready to meet the coolest cats in town? Come and hang out with them at Montrose Animal Services !

Meet our handsome guy, Maxwell. He is a 4-year-old, gorgeous Tuxedo cat. He's very friendly, vocal, snugglebug and affectionate. He was adopted from us 3 years ago and returned through no fault on his own. He's looking for a new home where he can feel loved and worshipped! Come and meet him today!
Meet Thor, a 6-year-old, affectionate shepherd mix. He has a moderate energy level, enjoys playing with tennis balls, and loves leisurely walks. While he's well-mannered and walks nicely on a leash, he can be particular about interacting with other dogs and people, so we highly recommend a meet and greet with all family members. Thor has recently joined our shelter, coming to us just 5 days ago with hopes of finding a loving and suitable home in a new community. We are optimistic about finding him a loving home! Come and meet him today!
Meet Sonic, a well-behaved dog who walks great on a leash and loves human interaction. He has a lot of energy and gets along well with mellower, same-sized female dogs. However, it is highly recommended to arrange meet-and-greets with resident pets before any adoption. Sonic has been at a shelter since September 2023 and was transferred to our care, hoping that a change in environment would help him find a suitable home. He would thrive best with an active family who can take him hiking, jogging, and camping. Come and meet him today!

Thanks to Skylar, Lemmy is unlocking his full potential and loving every second of it. His progress is truly inspiring!
"Lemmy has been a very good boy! Still no issues with the other dogs, besides the small dogs still being intimidated by him. No accidents. He’s using the dogs door regularly. He does get super excited and jump a lot but he’s corrected easily. Such a good listener!! I didn’t lock him in his kennel yesterday so he could go in and out of the house with the doggy door and he did well. No issues.
He was a good boy for his bath too!
He also makes a lovely couch pillow!
He’s likes couch snuggles quite a bit"
Thank you Skylar for the awesome update! 🥰

Are Black Dogs and Cats Often the Last to Be Adopted? We believe the idea that black dogs and cats are less likely to be adopted is a myth. It's known as "Black Dog Syndrome".
https://www.thesprucepets.com/black-dog-syndrome-4796374
Black is an incredibly beautiful color that shines brilliantly in the light. We have numerous dogs and cats with stunning black fur, and we are excited to introduce them to you!
If you've adopted a black beauty, show us a picture and confidently share how amazing they are!
Meet Twixie, a delightful 2.5-year-old Rottweiler/Plott Hound mix weighing approximately 65 lbs. Twixie is a lovable dog with no behavior concerns. She has shown great potential in her interactions with children and other dogs, displaying her friendly nature. While she is full of energy, she would greatly benefit from some basic training to refine her manners. Notably, Twixie has not shown any aggression towards humans. Like all dogs, she would thrive with mental and physical stimulation. We are looking for an active family who can provide her with plenty of adventures!

Maddie is a 1-year-old Tortoiseshell cat with gorgeous patches of orange, black, and cream-colored fur. She has a sweet and gentle demeanor and enjoys spending her time lounging in the windowsill and cuddling with her human companions. Although she may be on the quieter side, her affectionate nature shines through in the way she nuzzles and purrs contently! She's at Chow Down Pet Supplies Inc. Come and meet her today!
We're thrilled to introduce our trio of tabby kitties: Jabaka, Jeremy, and Crystal. Despite not being related, these three feline friends share the same endearing traits of sweetness, affection, and love. Although it took them a few days to open up, once they did, they became the most delightful and irresistible kitties. We invite you to meet this adorable trio today!
