My name is PIXIE!

We are not a same day adoption shelter.
To be considered as an adopter, you must:
1. Either own or be renting a permanent residence.
2. Be at least 18 years of age (or have parental permission in the adoption if under 18)
3. Have a current ID or Driver's License showing curent age and address
4. Be willing and able to provide adequate training, necessary medical care, and loving attention to an adopted pet
5. Pay adoption fees of $150 for dogs, $175 for puppies, $90 for cats and $120 for kittens. These fees include microchip and initial registration, spay or neuter surgery, license fee for first year, rabies and distemper vaccination when applicable and veterinary exam. These fees also help partially cover the cost of the animal's care and feeding during the animal's stay at the shelter.

We are located near the County Commons, off of SCR 1004, between The Senior/Community Center and State Patrol. The Shelter is open M-S 9:00 AM-5:30 PM with animal visitation hours of 10:00 AM-4:00 PM.

Summit County Animal Control and Shelter is a division of the Summit County Sheriff's Office. We provide animal control services for unincorporated Summit County and Shelter services for all of Summit County. We are an open admission shelter, therefore, we accept all animals from Summit County residents no matter condition or behavior. We are fortunate to be located in a community where pets are valued and therefore have the ability to transfer in many pets from other overcrowded shelters within Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Kansas. Our compassionate staff really loves what they do and strives to find the right pet match for each adopter.
