Areas Eaton Animal Den serves

We have a contract with the City of Eaton to take in any stray dogs that the officers or residents find running. After a period of 3 to 5 days we place the dog into our adoption, if they have not been claimed. From there they are spayed/neutered if necessary and updated on Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella. We then keep them with us until they find their permanent new home; however long that may take.

Eaton Animal Den's adoption process

Additional adoption info

We do have an adoption fee of $120; just to recoup some of the costs from housing and medical procedures. Also, we do require that any potential adopters fill out our adoption application and list 4 references. One reference should be any previous vets and then three family/friend references. As for cats, we adopt them out for $65 dollars and require a similar adoption application process.

About Eaton Animal Den

We adopt out stray dogs found in Eaton, CO. Ever since we opened in 2005, we have been trying our best to find the dogs and cats we receive, new, loving homes. It broke our heart to see the conditions some of our dogs came in with and we strive to make sure they never have to go through that again. As for our adoptable cats, we don't regularly take them in unless it is an emergency situation, any cats we don't take, we send to local cat rescues in our area.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
