 Located
in Castle Rock, the Buddy Center is a 16,000 square foot animal shelter,
capable of accommodating up to 5,000 animals a year.
The Buddy Center is named after a very special
dog adopted from the League by Debbie and Dob Bennett in 1988. Buddy's playful
and affectionate personality reminded the Bennetts every day of the simple joy
of loving, being loved and living in the moment. Although Buddy passed away
in 1995, his memory will live on through the Bennett's generous gift to help
build the new animal shelter in Douglas County.
