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.

Buddy Center

Welcome to the Buddy Center shelter! Finding and adopting the perfect pet is an exciting and rewarding experience. Our adoption counselors make every effort to offer you a smooth adoption process, and to ensure you find the perfect match. The process may take an hour or longer to select animals, view and visit with them, and choose the one that's right for you!  To cut down on the time it takes to adopt, visit the shelter during the week or right when we open if possible.

For your convenience, you can also schedule an appointment with an adoption counselor who will help you find your next furry friend. Appointments are available at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday. To make an appointment, call our Customer Service team at (303) 751-5772.
