Notices
The shelter is closed for the Independence Day Holiday, Thursday, July 4th, 2024. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Kennels at capacity
Please note that our dog kennels are at capacity. We are currently evaluating space on a case-by-case basis. We can still accept lost animals found in Aurora depending on our kennel space. Please view our lost and found page for tips on reuniting a lost pet with its owner.
Beware of Scam Calls
We have received reports of scams involving individuals falsely claiming to be employees of our animal shelter, requesting money to help save found pets, and demanding a financial deposit. Please be aware that we never contact patrons to request money over the phone.
If you receive such a call, do not provide personal or financial information. Instead, report the incident to the Aurora Police Department by completing an online crime report (select "Fraud-Confidence Game or Scam" at the bottom of the webpage) or call 303.739.6000 for assistance.
Stay vigilant and protect yourself from these fraudulent activities.
Fraudulent Letter
City staff has been alerted to a fraudulent letter circulating in the community, falsely claiming to be an official notification from the city of Aurora regarding barking dogs. This letter references the city ordinance on Keeping Barking Dogs (sec.14-72), but it is not an authentic communication from the city. For questions or to report animal noise complaints, please call Animal Field Services at 303.326.8288, option 6, or [email protected].
