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.

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.

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.
