To the world you are a single person to a homeless animal you are the world!
We give them the love we can spare, the time we can spare. In return, dogs have given us
their absolute all. It is without doubt the best deal man has ever made. - Roger Caras
We are located near
San Luis, CO and are
open by appointment for adoptions.
The shelter is high in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of southern Colorado. Wildlife abounds on the site with buffalo, elk, and beaver.
In summer, alpine butterflies, and many species of hummingbirds
are everywhere.
The shelter occupies the former Battle Mt. Goldmine facility - 17,000 sq.ft. of high-quality metal buildings.
The Animal Assistance Foundation
of Denver has helped us greatly -
for example, funding our high tech yellow Mason kennels and our insulated dog houses.
