Would give 1,000 stars if I could. Fantastic shelter that will pair you with your forever friend. I’ve adopted 2 great boys here years ago and it was the best decision I have ever made. Thank you TCRAS!

I adopted a dog from TCRAS and they were super nice and patient through out the process. They take great care of the dogs in their care and are sweet and honest about dogs. They really helped me find and amazing dog that fit my living situation and lifestyle. I am so great full for there help. They also provided me with useful training tips for my dog!!!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Teller County Regional Animal Shelter (TCRAS)! The staff are incredibly caring and dedicated to the well-being of the dogs (and cats). One of the standout features of this shelter is their 'Doggy Day Out' program, which is simply fantastic. It allows you to take a dog out for the day, giving them a break from shelter life and a taste of love and adventure.

Doggy Day Out not only benefits the dogs, but it was fantastic for us too. It's a win-win! Our pup was not miserable when we brought her back to TCRAS after the hike, which shows that they truly go above and beyond to ensure the dogs are happy and healthy.

If you are looking for company on your next adventure and want to make a difference, check out TCRAS.

Thank God for teller county regional animal shelter! I had to move & give up my cat. It broke my heart. I love my cat. I felt some comfort knowing they would find her a good home.

I adopted a new dog yesterday, her name is Izzy for now but it's yet to be determined if it truly fits her or not. But she has been an absolute joy to have with me! The adoption process at tcras was a very enjoyable experience as always! I went in with a couple different dogs in mind that I thought sounded like they were going to be great additions to my life, and to my disappointment at first the first 3 furry littles I had wanted to meet had all been adopted just before I showed up! I was assured that they all went to very loving homes with some great families! The nice ladies at tcras had been doing a great job all morning and they didn't stop when I got there! They introduced me to a few of the other furry little friends, I'm so happy that I met Izzy instead! She is just perfect for me! It was love at first introduction for me! Although I wish I could take them all home! I think Izzy needed me as much as I needed her! Izzy is the 4th fur baby that I've had the pleasure to rescue from tcras and I have always had a very good experience with them there! 1st time was with my own "big girl" Stella who I had and loved for almost 8 years, and then with an old friend who adopted her hàrold from them, my little sister who I surprised her with her now best friend coco, and finally my new bestie Izzy who I met yesterday! Thanks for all you guys do! And for all the great supplies that you gave Izzy to come home with! She loves her Santa toy and the brushes the most. And I love the mud buster and treat mat the most! Oh and her blanket and dog bed are going to be well used also! She is settling in very well and seems to really love her new place! If your looking for a new furry friend and are able to make it out to divide Colorado then tcras is the first place, and maybe even the ONLY place I would go to find a new furry baby to add to my family! Just ask for Libby and she will get all set up with a perfect match for you and your family too! Thank you ladies again for another great experience!

We lost one of our dogs to diabetes earlier this year and wanted to adopt a new dog as a companion for myself as a retiree and our other dog. Since we have property in Teller County, TCRAS seemed like a great option for pet adoption. I called about a particular puppy I saw on their website and was told she was fully vaccinated which was super important to us because we would have to board her while we attended a family wedding the following weekend. (Yes, rotten timing but TCRAS couldn’t hold the puppy so that was the only option.) They let me know she was still available. They knew I was making the two hour drive to visit with the puppy. When I arrived I spoke with a different employee and she let me know that the puppy was not fully vaccinated She was not old enough to receive the rabies vaccination. Wouldn’t the first employee know that information since they work with animals and vaccinations are so important? They suggested I contact the kennel to see if that was OK and obviously it was not. And then they suggested to talk to my vet to see if they could make an exception to get her rabies vaccination early. While I was on the phone with my family vet, the employee came back and let me know that the litter was being treated for kennel cough, so that totally shut everything down! I drove two hours back home with no puppy. What a disappointment! And anger for them falling to disclose the animal’s true health and vaccination information when they knew I was making such a long drive to visit with the puppy and knew I had to board her. I hope TCRAS will be more forthcoming in the future for adopters. Why waste everyone’s time when they know there are issues with the animal? And in my opinion, all employees should be aware of each animal’s health so they don’t omit vital information to potential adopters. There should be notes for each pet so that they are aware and can give correct information to callers.

Be aware!!!! Just about every dog they label as a mix, is actually a pitbull mix. This is how shelters pawn off undesirable dog breeds to unsuspecting new owners! This is also terrible because bad dog breeds get snuck into places that ban them. They'll also bring out a "mix" dog to show you to try and get you to adopt it instead of the one you came for.

We went to see a weird running breed type of dog and got shown a loud barking pitbull first to try and tempt us. No kill shelters suck in that regard, they'll let themselves fill up with pits and all the really desirable dogs have no space.

We had some great fun with the staff while selecting a kitten and while waiting to process the adoption. They really know the animals. Thanks for all you do!
