Aspen Animal Shelter
The Aspen Animal Shelter is a privatized, self-sustaining animal rescue that combines a boarding kennel, a grooming salon and a pet shop to generate the income needed to provide sanctuary for the homeless dogs and cats of Aspen, Pitkin County and beyond. We shelter the occasional bird and rabbit as well. Every homeless pet is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to adoption. We are open every day of the year from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. We welcome and encourage you to visit and socialize with the animals. Please call us at 970.544.0206 with questions or comments, or email us at aspenanimalshelter@gmail.com.
CHECK OUT OUR ADOPTABLE PETS
Adoptable Dogs
Bandit and Thor
Bandit and Thor are gorgeous, happy, friendly, 3-year-old Siberian Husky siblings who get along well with other dogs. Due to a severe lack of socialization when they were young, they are initially wary of new people, but are willing and eager to make friends with those who devote time and display patience in order to win their trust.
Texas
Texas is an active, athletic, 3-year-old Pit bull mix who gets along great with other dogs. He is initially wary of new people, but warms up once he gets to know you. Beyond being wary of new people, Texas is territorial of his people and his property. In short, Texas will require an extremely responsible, knowledgeable home.
ZuZu and Petals
ZuZu and Petals are happy, friendly, gentle, sweet, 7-year-old sisters who get along well with everyone. They look like Beagle mixes with a possible splash of Cattle dog, but we don’t know for sure. ZuZu and Petals would love to be adopted together.
Bear
Bear is a large, 6-year-old, Rottweiler / Lab mix who gets along with people and some other dogs. He is a big boy who doesn’t necessarily understand his size and appearance. In short, Bear’s presence can be intimidating, so he will 100% require a knowledgeable, responsible home.
Uno
Uno is a 2.5-year-old Pit bull mix who is initially a bit apprehensive when meeting new people, but slowly transforms himself into a happy, affectionate companion once he gets to know you. Due to his wariness of strangers, Uno will require a knowledgeable, responsible home.
Kodiak
Kodiak is a 7-year-old Siberian Husky who gets along well with people and other dogs. In keeping with some common traits of the breed, Kodiak is independent and untrustworthy off of the leash. In short, Kodiak will require a responsible, knowledgeable home.
Nina
Nina is a large, handsome, 4-year-old Great Pyrenees mix who gets along well with people, but is not 100% trustworthy with other dogs. She will require a responsible, knowledgeable home.
Irie
Irie is a quiet, independent, 13-year-old Cattle dog who gets along okay with other dogs, but does not seek their companionship. She accepts new people once they have earned her trust, but is not hungry for attention. In short, Irie will thrive in a quiet household offering patience and love, allowing Irie to be Irie, and not forcing her into situations outside of her comfort zone including, but not limited to, walking through town during Christmas, and/or attending crowded holiday parties 😊
Roxie
Roxie is an energetic, playful, 2-year-old Pit bull. She is good with people, but is not trustworthy with other dogs. Roxie will require a responsible, knowledgeable, active home.
