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.

Community Service

The Community Service program is for volunteers looking for short-term opportunities. This can be for court-ordered community service, to complete volunteer hours required for high school or college, and for people who want to help but cannot make the six- month, three-hours-per-week, full-time volunteer commitment. We offer community services opportunities seven days a week in either four- or eight-hour blocks.

If you would like to become a full-time volunteer, please explore the "About volunteering" section and complete an application.

Please note that to perform community service for school, you must be at least 16 years old. To perform court-ordered community service, you must not have been charged with violent, drug-related, theft or felony crimes.

For more information or to arrange an interview with our volunteer services coordinator, please call (303) 751-5772, Ext. 7247.
