Gifts for that special animal lover
We have many wonderful gifts available in our Sit… Stay… Shops. Also, you’ll find a wide variety of shirts, hats, coffee mugs, mouse pads, tote bags and much more at our online gift store. They make the “purr”-fect gifts.
Gift cards
For the person who wants a pet, this is the best way to give one as a gift. Accompany the gift card with a stuffed animal and pet supplies. The recipient can then visit us to personally select their new pet. Gift cards, available for purchase at our shops, also are good for retail items and classes.
Tribute donations
For pets or people with everything, consider making a donation in their honor. They will receive a prompt acknowledgment of your generosity. Your donation can be made securely online by clicking here, in person at the Dumb Friends League or by mail. Click here to print out the mail-order form (Adobe Acrobat Reader is required).
Chip Your Cat
The Dumb Friends League, the Denver Area Veterinary Medical Society, and participating members of the Metro Denver Shelter Alliance, are pleased to announce the CHIP YOUR CAT™ campaign, with free microchips provided by Bayer resQ® and HomeAgain®. This initiative will help provide free microchip identification implants to 150,000 owned cats in the Denver-metro area. The program is ongoing until September 2009 or while supplies last, so visit ChipYourCat.org today, to learn how you can get a microchip for your cat.

Help prevent unwanted litters
Donate to the Pet Overpopulation Fund through your Colorado State income tax form. You can also contribute any time directly to the Fund by sending a donation to 455 Sherman Street, Suite 462, Denver, CO 80203. Checks should be made out to the Pet Overpopulation Fund. The Colorado Pet Overpopulation Fund was established by the Colorado Legislature to promote and fund spay/neuter surgeries and public education for responsible pet ownership. In 2005, 4,745 spay/neuter surgeries were performed as a result of the state check off fund. The fund has surpassed 17,000 spay/neuter surgeries in the three years since the first grants were awarded.
Become a volunteer
Volunteers are very important people at the Dumb Friends League. As a private, non-profit organization, we rely on the assistance of caring and hardworking volunteers in all of our programs. To volunteer, you must be at least sixteen years old, and willing to make a six-month commitment of approximately three hours per week.
Work with us
We have many wonderful career opportunities to work with animals and people. If you love animals and enjoy helping people, then the Dumb Friends League may have a position for you.
Report abuse
If you see an animal being neglected or cruelly treated, do you know how to help that animal? What should any Denver metro area resident do if they suspect that a pet is being abused? The answer is to contact the Dumb Friends League's Investigations staff.
