Our Story

Open 9-5 Fri-Tues Available to pick up your dog 7 days a week by calling 719-336-8769.

We are a small city municipal shelter, operated by the Lamar Police Department located in Lamar, CO. Currently we only house dogs. Our code enforcement officers bring in most of our dogs as strays, and we also accept surrenders from residents of Lamar.

Dogs that are brought in as stray must be held for six days to give the owner time to claim them. If the dog is not claimed, they will then be made available to the public for adoption. All dogs are spayed/neutered and vaccinated with a parvo/distemper booster before adoption.

We work hard to find a place for all the dogs that come through our shelter, whether that be adoption or transfer to a rescue or different shelter. We do not euthanize for space/time constraints, however we do practice humane euthanasia for animals that have health or behavior problems that we are unable to treat or that make them too dangerous to responsibly re-home or transfer.
