Wow! We have exceeded our goal for our new play yard! THANK YOU to our very generous community for your support! Special thanks to one of our alumni Hugo, a darling Havanese, who made a very generous contribution “for his friends at the Shelter!”
We will begin construction ASAP to let the playing begin!
In meeting this goal so quickly we hope you will support our new goal for Dogs Need to Play in The Shade! Your continued donations will provide the funding to build a shade structure over the play yard, offering the dogs a safe place to play all year long!
Special thanks to our local neighbors at Boundary Fence & Supply Company for giving us an incredible discount on our new fencing!
Release the Hounds and Play it Forward!
Calling all dog lovers and friends of Denver Animal Shelter! 📣🐶 We need your help to create a safe and fun play yard for our Shelter dogs! Our goal is to raise $12,000.
Why is a play yard so important for shelter dogs, you ask? Well, for starters, it gives them a chance to run, jump and play in a safe and secure environment. It helps reduce their stress and anxiety, improves their physical health and overall well-being, and makes them more adoptable by socializing them with other dogs and humans. Also, this form of canine enrichment allows shelter staff to gain information to match them to potential homes. And with increased adoptions, staff and volunteers are caring for fewer animals for shorter lengths of time.
We all know that dogs are more than just pets, they are our family. ❤️ And just like we would want our family to have a comfortable place to play and live, we want the same for our Shelter’s dogs. So please, help us reach our goal by donating! Together, we can create a better life for these deserving dogs. Thank you for your support!
