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.

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.
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.
ZG
ZG is a gentle, sweet, affectionate, 9-year-old Australian Shepherd / Cattle dog mix who will do best in a home without children. Similar to many other herding dogs and herding dog mixtures, ZG is protective and possessive of her people and her property. For the most part, ZG does well with people and other dogs, but due to the depth of her personality, she will require a responsible, knowledgeable home that sets her up for success and opposed to failure.
Princess
Princess is a quiet, sensitive, 7.5-year-old Pit bull / Lab mix who gets along with other dogs. She is wary of strangers, but warms up once she is comfortable with new people.
