The Dumb Friends League has a history of service. For more than 100 years, we have sheltered and cared for lost, abandoned and abused pets. 

Thanks to wide community support, we offer programs that help both pets and people. 

We are proud to be the metro-Denver area’s local humane society. You are invited to visit our website and our two shelters to learn more about us.

View our "super pet" advertising campaign running in on TV, billboards, buses, light rail and in movie theatres and in print publications now through June 30. All adoption fees during this timeframe are $50 off for cats and dogs, 1 year and older.

Each day, we hand-select several special cats and well-behaved dogs and bring them to our storefront site at The Shops at Northfield Stapleton. If you’re adding a new pet to your household, you may want to take advantage of this unique location and adoption opportunity.

Our Pet Care-avan travels to locations throughout the metro Denver area and Douglas County, bringing wonderful cats, dogs, rabbits and other small pets for adoption to people who may not be able to visit our shelters.
