Shelter FAQs

Foothills Animal Shelter, formerly known as Table Mountain Animal Center, is an open-admissions facility (never turning away an animal) and one of the largest animal shelters in the metro Denver area – taking in 9,000 animals each year. We are a true community resource that offers a broad variety of animal welfare programs and services. Low-cost spaying/neutering, vaccinations, microchipping and dog licensing are some of the services offered to the public. The organization’s important mission: to provide the best care possible for every animal that enters our doors. Community, Adopt, Reunite and Educate (C.A.R.E.) are the four key principles of Foothills Animal Shelter.
Foothills Animal Shelter is one of the leading adoption facilities and educational resources for animal care in the state of Colorado. Animals in our care have been adopted by families within the Rocky Mountain Region and throughout the country. We serve the communities of Arvada, Edgewater, Golden, Lakewood, Westminster, Wheat Ridge, and all of unincorporated Jefferson County.

Additional adoption info

Adoption fees include the cost of spay/neuter and first vaccines, medical exam, and microchip. How to Adopt from Foothills Animal Shelter: Visit the Shelter or one of our offsite adoption partner locations to find a pet. Once you’ve decided on an animal, you should check with staff to see the status and history of the animal. At this time, you can fill out an adoption application and visit with the animal. We recommend you bring all family members to the Shelter to meet with the animal before you consider adopting. If you are interested in adopting a dog, bring any household dogs to the Shelter to determine if it is a good match. Also, if you rent your home, please bring the pet policy in your lease or rental agreement and contact information for your landlord. Once your application is reviewed, you can pay the adoption fees and take your new pet home. It may take some time for your new pet to adjust to its new environment. If you have questions or concerns after adopting, please contact us at 303-278-7575.
