Feeds all his cats from donated food from other sucker friends. He has surrendered 2 in the last year. One was nursed back to health, and allowed for readoption from him. the other one euthanized. Well now they are holding an elderly cat for him, and will waive the adoption fee for it because it's 10+ yrs old. This cat will not have a happy life if readopted by him. I dont think they care for any of the pets well being. I even tried to tell the front desk lady about the situation. She didn't give one crap. I'm pretty sure this place is run mostly by donations from people who care. But does FHAS?? I dont believe so, and will NEVER RECOMMEND FOOTHILLS OR DONATE!. BOTTOM LINE... THEY DONT GIVE A CRAP WHAT KINGMD OF LIFE THE OET WILL HAVE! DONATE TO A SHELTER THAT CARES!

We adopted our Leeloo here. She is our Fifth Element, our Supreme Being. (The fifth fur-kid the…read moreball-n-chain and I have rescued in our years together). She is perfect. When we adopted her July of 2011, thanks to David S.'s recommendation, she was just over a pound and tiny. The vet said he doubted she was a full eight weeks and she was a tad underweight but she had been spayed and her little baby belly had a little tiny stitch in it which healed nicely. She had a little bit of a goopy eye that she got drops for and it cleared up. Our vet gave her the initial exam for free because she was a rescue and gave her a clean bill of health. We began the fatten-up-baby-Leeloo project and now she is still small, but her proper, almost adult weight. Let's just say, she is the prefect match for our family and my heart is warmed every single time I see her especially when she crawls on my chest to wake me in the morning to point out the fact she is a Supreme Being - the Fifth Element and needs chicken. I hardly remember life without her now.

We applied that night, someone reached out within a couple of hours, and by the next day, he was a part of our family. We've had him for two weeks, and he's amazing. So nice to have the dogs in foster care before you get them. It allows the foster to really get to know the dog's personality better than if they're in a shelter, so they can help match the right dog to the right person/family. Love our sweet Gaucho!

Unfortunately not everyone has an ideal living situation for a rescue golden retriever.

I never thought I would step into an animal shelter because of what I imagined all shelters to be…read morelike. Angels With Paws has given me a different and a positive perspective! My sister started volunteering here after the sudden loss of her precious Persian cat because she genuinely wanted connection with cats to help heal what she no longer had every day with her gorgeous cat. She has an endless amount of love to give, and this was a positive way that she could share that love with numerous cats every week and also feel loved back. She shared her experiences with me every time she volunteered on Mondays. I too love animals (it's a chemical imbalance for us in our family with our obsessions with animals!) and wanted to share in this healing journey with her, so she asked if I could join her when volunteering, and Angels With Paws kindly said YES! I was only going to do it once because of severe anxiety when it comes to animals not having a forever home. I had such a pleasant experience here!! You could easily see from Elizabeth, other workers and volunteers how much they love animals and truly want them to be matched with the best homes ... and make their stay there as comfortable as possible with lots of cozy beds, blankets, toys, food and treats! I do love visiting the cats either to volunteer with my sister or come for play dates when they're open to the public. There truly is something healing about interacting with animals, and I thank Angels With Paws for extending their kindness to creatures that just want love and a home.

"This cat would do best being placed in a home with an aggressive cat or a dog" the words of…read moreElizabeth Talamantez regarding a warm and loving cat who she refused to let me adopt because I owned a cat. The mission of Angels with Paws is great, but their "leadership" needs re-evaluation. Specially, Elizabeth Talamantez, as she is cruel and abuses the shelter's mission by trying to play God. I went to the shelter and immediately fell in love with one of their cats. The cat also took well to me. After reading the listing and visiting with the volunteer who observed how the cat and I interacted, there was no reason to believe this cat would not do well in my home with another cat. The listing never mentioned a home with existing cats being an issue, the social media post even encouraged a proper introduction with other pets in their new home, and when talking with the volunteer there was no mention of other cats being problematic. I submit my application and when I followed up, I was shocked to hear the "rationale" or lack of logic rather as to why I was being denied thr opportunity to save this cat. Elizabeth informed me that she felt it was best this friendly and affectionate cat "would do best being placed in a home with an aggressive cat or a dog" . What sick monster would subject a poor animal to an environment where they are being bullied by an aggressive cat or potentially terrified of a dog and not to mention this cat had no known history of being around dogs? Elizabeth Talamantez is not an animal advocate. She's a mentally disturbed individual who enjoys playing God by subjecting innocent animals to poorly placed homes. My family and I have consistently donated company matched donations and cat food throughout the years because we believe in the shelters mission, but we had no idea how disturbed the "leadership" is. For anyone reading this, I highly encourage you to consider donating elsewhere because your donations likely aren't being managed in a way that aligns with what the shelter claims. It's unfortunate how people will take advantage of innocent beings to fulfill their sick and twisted fantasies, while claiming to be a cat advocate.

My parents adopted a lovely dog from DAS a couple years ago, and so my Husband and I decided to go…read moreto DAS as well once we decided we were ready. The staff is incredibly thorough, but also please also be advised you will probably be there **2 HOURS** if you whole heartedly plan to seriously adopt a new family member. I've seen a lot of complaints that this shelter is short staffed, but keep in mind, many of these people are volunteers trying to help re-home animals to caring, loving owners. The wait was so worth it. We adopted our newest family member, a deaf stray, who is incredibly well behaved. The staff gave us every last detail on his health, behavior, and known history. The handlers were incredibly thoughtful when introducing us to our new pet. They also include several vaccinations, surgery, and a microchip in the adoption fees. They send you home with a list of vets that give you your first check up free (though keep in mind we still needed to add some services such as heart worm). I love Denver Animal shelter and appreciate everything they do!

They have a very annoying process that from the very beginning they are asking you if you have a bed and pet supplies for the pig you want to see. I don't/didn't at the time because we haven't decided on the hamster or puppy yet-that's why we wanted to see them in person first. But no, they sit you down in a separate room and ask you all these serious questions. I'm just trying to meet the pet with my kids first. I ended up leaving the interview early because I thought it was ridiculous. Never again going back. Prefer Jefferson Animal Shelter 100x more.

The place advertised cats over the age of 6 months were free. My family and I waited and waited to visit with a couple of kittens and never got to. The reason was the place only had 2 rooms that we could visit with the cats in. Here's a clue if you're going to waive the adoption fee hire more help or open more rooms.

WOW...what a perfect experience we had with RRAC!…read more Our 11 year old dog was in desperate need of a teeth cleaning as we had never had it done for her in the past...I know, bad, bad, bad, parents! After calling around and hearing the outrageous prices from other vets, we called RRAC and they quoted us around half of what most vets were quoting. Yes I did fear "you get what you pay for", but this was not even close to the case. The drop-off was simple...it took a little while but they were very busy. Dr. Vladimir (my apologies I forgot his last name) spoke with us for as long as we needed and assured us she was in good hands. The gentle care he had with our pet was so very welcome. They had her for about 4 hours to do the blood-work needed for anesthesia, prep, putting her under, cleaning and recovery. When we picked her up, again it took a little while, but they were very busy with other patients...most seemed to be return patients. Now what does that tell us? The bill was exactly what they had quoted, no surprises. Now for the cleaning results...remember, she had never had her teeth cleaned and they were almost all very dark and many were black. I was blown away by the results...it was if she was only 1 year old. Bright white, clean and shiny! I almost fell over and have not stopped thinking about the magificiant results. I want to stop everyone we see when we're walking her and say "want to see how clean our dogs teeth are"? Dr. Vladimir again was superb as was the staff. Duncan helped with the discharge papers...we could not have asked for a better or more friendly experience. He was great! Thank you all at RRAC! Because of our wonderful experience with you yesterday, we will be changing our vet care to you.
