My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mooney is a big, gentle guy with an even bigger heart. He is wonderful with people of all ages and truly has never met a stranger. Kids, adults, new friends, old friends, he loves them all.

Mooney has lived in a home and knows how to behave in one. He is fully housetrained, has never been destructive, and does not try to escape the yard. He walks pretty well on a leash and knows his basic commands. He has lived with cats and did well, and he enjoys the company of some other dogs, especially the ladies. When meeting a new dog Mooney gets very excitable at first, which can be overwhelming for the other dog, but he calms down within a few minutes and will match their energy.

Mooney is the kind of dog who fits easily into a home and into your life. Once bonded he is a great listener. He is affectionate, curious, well intentioned. He just needs a loving place to land. Whoever adopts Mooney is going to be very lucky.

More about this shelter

La Plata County Humane Society was established as a 501(c) 3 animal shelter in 1971. The humane society was created to provide shelter for homeless animals, rescue animals in distress, assist in the investigation and prosecution of reported cruelty and abuse, find homes for unwanted animals, and encourage kindness and responsibility toward all living things through humane education.

The Thrift Store was established in 1990 to raise monies for the homeless animals. They sell gently-used goods donated by our community. We accept donations 7 days a week through our on-site drive through donation center. The Thrift Store helps to support other local non-profits in the community by donating clothing, toiletries and vouchers to the Volunteers of America (VOA), La Plata Family Coalition, the Women’s Resource Center and many other non-profits.

The Shelter & Thrift Store are directed by nine elected board members. In 2000, a veterinarian was added to our staff to insure that all animals have a health and wellness check, are spayed or neutered, provided initial vaccines, implanted with a identification microchip and have the best quality care before leaving our facility. We are committed to helping animals become their best selves before they are adopted into forever homes.

Help Us, Help Them, One Paw at a Time.
