Snow days are a challenge at the shelter. You can’t leave the pups out in the cold and they get bored cooped up inside. We made the most of today by having playtime and walks in the snow outdoors and KONG enrichment inside.

Today was a good day. Happy tears were cried by staff and volunteers as longtime resident, Bubba, finally found his furever home. This cow patterned clown of a dog was showing signs of stress having been in the shelter so long. He wasn’t his usual happy go lucky self. When we received the adoption application for him it truly seemed too good to be true, but thankfully it wasn’t. At the meet and greet Bubba fell in love with his new dad instantly and gave him big sloppy kisses. And new dad didn’t even mind! He even liked it! Bubba will get to go to work with his new dad, too! We couldn’t be happier for Bubba and his new Dad although we will sure miss that smile and those sloppy kisses. Be good, boy.

It‘s been a busy week in the best way! Our calendar contest closed with Sadie & Whiskey as the undisputed winners of the cover spot. The next 12 winners will be featured on a month in our 2025 calendar & all entries will be featured as well as other alumni pics curated from our vault of happily ever after shots. Look for calendars to be available mid November.

On the adoption front, 1 of our scruffies and 4 of our chi x pups found furever homes! Yay! Look at all those smiling faces.

🚨Warning: Scammers Targeting Owners of Missing Pets!🚨

We’ve recently been made aware of a heartbreaking scam involving missing pets. A pet owner who lost their dog was contacted by someone claiming they had found the dog and had taken her in for surgery at our hospital. The scammer demanded payment for the medical bills, but thankfully, the owner contacted us to verify—it was a scam!

How the scam works:
- Scammers claim they found your lost pet.
- They mention an urgent vet visit or surgery and use our hospital (or another) as part of the story.
- They ask for immediate payment for “vet bills”

How to protect yourself:
✅ Verify any claims: If someone contacts you saying they found your pet, ask for proof like photos or the location where they found them.
✅ Call the vet directly: If a vet visit is mentioned, contact the clinic to confirm the story. Legitimate clinics will not ask for payment from a third party.
✅ Never send money to strangers: If something feels off, trust your instincts. Scammers often use pressure tactics.

We know how stressful losing a pet can be, and it’s terrible that people are using that against pet owners. Please stay vigilant and share this with fellow pet lovers! If you have any doubts or receive a suspicious message, don’t hesitate to call us.

Finding Your New BFF

Our vision is to be the leading resource for dogs, cats and pet stewards in Park County and the surrounding mountain communities. At Intermountain Humane Society, we save, shelter, train, educate, rehabilitate, and find dogs and cats their forever homes.

We are an independent 501 (c) (3) charitable organization that receives NO government funding. We serve a wide community, IMHS is the only shelter in Park County and the only shelter anywhere from Golden to Buena Vista Colorado. We are a delightful mix between rural mountains and Denver-metro. We consistently save and adopt out over 500 dogs and cats a year even though we are smaller than most home’s garage.

IMHS consistently has between 97-99% placement rate for our animals. We have a small staff and we make ends meet by being diligent with our finances and our wonderful volunteers giving time and donations to us, especially through our Thrift Store which is above the shelter. We could not save so many animals without the Thrift Store so please donate to it and SHOP!
