Humane Colorado, Buddy Center - Castle Rock
Our Mission
Working with our compassionate community, we are dedicated to ending pet homelessness and animal suffering across Colorado. We believe in building a future where every companion animal is treated with love and respect.
A Legacy of Compassion
For 115 years, our organization has evolved to meet the changing needs of animals and the people who love them. Formerly known as the Dumb Friends League, we continue to lead with compassion, ensuring that 82 cents of every dollar directly supports animal care services, outreach, and education.
Our Approach to Care
Humane Colorado is a socially conscious organization, meaning we assess the health and behavior of every animal in our care to make informed, humane decisions. Our dedicated staff and volunteers provide essential medical care, behavioral evaluations, and daily enrichment in our shelters to prepare each animal for their next adventure. We are committed to transparency in our processes and stewardship of the resources our community entrusts to us.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and our knowledgeable adoption counselors are here to help you find the companion that fits your life. We believe in the power of thoughtful matching, which is why we encourage families to visit our shelters to meet potential pets in person. Whether you are looking for a playful dog, a gentle cat, or another small companion, we provide the background information you need to start your journey together with confidence.
