About The Pet Association of Estes Park
The Pet Association of Estes Park was created in 1973. It was founded with the goal of helping the area homeless animals in need and to educate youth and the community about the humane care of animals. We are the only local agency committed to this goal. We serve Estes Park, Allenspark, Pinewood Springs, Big Elk Meadows, Rocky Mountain National Park, Drake, and Glen Haven. We provide shelter, care and veterinary services to stray and surrendered animals until we can place them in loving homes.
One of our founding and very important goals, are spay and neuter. We hold a spay and neuter clinic every Fall. Our donations help assist the community in this very important endeavor.
Adoptable Dogs
Dear Friends of Animals,
Many thanks to all of you who have fostered, adopted, and supported the Pet
Association of Estes Park, which is the only humane society serving Estes and the
surrounding communities.
We have been caring for and re-homing strays and surrendered dogs and cats for 53 years. Chances are good that you and your neighbors have adopted from us.
Or maybe we helped you out when you needed to re-home a beloved companion animal. We are here to help. We love animals, just as you do.
Thanks to your participation, we were the #1 recipient of Duck Race funds. Thank you so much for designating us!
This is a critical time for dogs and cats, with euthanization rates at all-time highs. Why? The obvious answer is that they are not being spayed/neutered (S/N). These are animals who are homeless through no fault of their own.
We were greatly honored recently to receive a bequest from our late friend and animal lover, Janice Ricker. Janice’s bequest and others enabled us to extend our outreach and help sponsor low cost sterilization S/N to high-risk shelters in our region where the situation has become desperate, specifically southern Colorado and New Mexico, in LaJunta, Ordway and Rocky Ford where the need is greatest and where a lot of our adoptees come from.
Our own local annual S/N clinic ran September through November. We paid half of your cost at either of the local veterinary clinics for about 30 local S/N this year. Please don’t let your pets fuel the overpopulation crisis.
To date this year, we have rescued and found loving forever homes by facilitating
adoptions for over 80 dogs and 40 cats.
Several of our wonderful adoptable dogs have been with us for many months. Because we are a no-kill operation, we continue to seek forever homes for them. Each of these dogs is totally wonderful. Maybe one of them could be your perfect companion.
Please, ADOPT, DON’T SHOP. We have dogs and cats of many breeds. They are all
happy and healthy and awaiting loving homes. Can you help?

We have a new foster partner. Buddy’s House, located on this side of Loveland, is a beautiful state-of-the-art dog foster facility operated by local Ed Grueff. Ed’s operation has enabled us to rescue more dogs, who are often only hours away from euthanization. They are now happily awaiting permanent homes. Thank you, Ed. www.buddysfosters.org
