Our Mission Working with our compassionate community, we will end pet homelessness and animal suffering. About Us The Dumb Friends League is the largest community-based animal welfare organization in the Rocky Mountain region. We are a leader in: ´ Providing humane care to lost and relinquished pets ´ Adopting companion animals and horses to new homes ´ Rescuing sick, injured, abused and neglected animals ´ Offering training and advice to help pets stay in homes ´ Reducing pet overpopulation ´ Educating children and adults about compassion for animals Each year, we welcome more than 20,000 homeless pets to our two shelters. At our main shelter in southeast Denver and our Buddy Center» in Castle Rock, cats, dogs, rabbits and other small pets enjoy the comfort of a nurturing environment in state-of-the-art facilities. No animals are turned away. The Dumb Friends League Harmony Equine Center» near Franktown takes in abused and neglected horses, ponies, mules and donkeys that have been removed from owners by law enforcement authorities. Here, they find relief from suffering and opportunities for rehabilitation and adoption.
