The Animal Shelter and Care Committee, or AS&CC, promotes the humane treatment of animals in Jefferson County through shelter, education and spay and neuter endeavors. For over 12 years we have been providing low-cost, twice-yearly shot clinics and spay and neuter clinics for county residents and their pets.
Because of the increasing number of stray, lost and abandoned animals has become an overwhelming concern for the safety and wellbeing of both people and animals residents and hundreds of animals on the roadways, and since Jefferson County has no animal shelter, our goal is to build and facilitate a countywide nonprofit animal shelter.
We’ve made some progress. The 5,236 sq. ft. shelter will accommodate 30 dogs, 42 cats and provide the needed venue space to continue our spay and neuter program. We have received a long-term lease of 2.6 acres from the City of Boulder to locate the shelter and are now focusing on raising the needed funds for building the facility at an estimated cost of $700,000.
