Evergreen Animal Protective League
Our Mission
The Evergreen Animal Protective League is dedicated to protecting the lives of unwanted, abandoned, and suffering animals. We strive to provide aid through rescue, shelter, and education, ensuring every animal receives a second chance at a life filled with love.
Our History and Commitment
Since 1981, we have been committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming thousands of dogs, cats, and other animals. Our work is driven by a passionate community of volunteers who believe that every pet deserves a safe, supportive place to call home.
A Foster-Based Approach
As a foster-based organization, EAPL does not operate a traditional centralized shelter. Instead, our animals receive individualized care in loving foster homes throughout Evergreen and across Colorado until they are adopted. We also maintain a cozy, dedicated cat adoption center inside Chow Down Pet Supply in the Bergen Park Shopping Center for our feline friends to meet potential families.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful, lifelong partnership, and we are here to support you every step of the way. We focus on thoughtful, individual matches to ensure the best possible transition for both the pet and your family. Because our foster families know the unique personalities and needs of our animals, we can provide the guidance and encouragement you need to help your new companion thrive.
Get Involved
Ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to view our available animals online and submit an application to begin your journey. You can also support our mission by visiting our thrift store in Evergreen, where every purchase directly funds our rescue operations, or by exploring our volunteer opportunities to make a meaningful difference today.
