Friends of Charlie's Place

Animal rescue in Dumont, CO

Friends of Charlie’s Place is a 501 (c) (3) designed to help support the Clear Creek/Gilpin County Animal Shelter (Charlie’s Place) and the community at large. Our organization was founded in 2007.

Our Mission:
Friends of Charlie’s Place is a Non-Profit Organization dedicated to saving the lives of companion animals in Clear Creek and Gilpin Counties. Our goal is to partner with the Clear Creek/Gilpin Animal Shelter (Charlie’s Place) to support the needs of the animals at the shelter, to assist in placing the animals into appropriate permanent homes and to prevent and alleviate the suffering of the animals within our community. Since this organization is completely volunteer and community supported we work hard to give back to the community through Community Out-Reach Programs including: Humane Education, Basic Training, Emergency Funds, and routine dog/cat food donations to the local food bank. We hope to improve the lives of both the animals and their companions within our community.

Services Provided:
We are a staff of dedicated volunteers who strive to do all that we can to help with the needs of the animals at Charlie’s Place, and to offer assistance, when we can, to the companion animals and their owners within our community. We strive to reduce the rate of euthanasia and help animals find their forever homes. Services that we provide include medical expenses for shelter animals, provide financial assistance to low income residence with their companion animal’s medical expenses, provide assistance, up to 100%, with the cost of spay/neutering to help with over population, pay all expense involved with the cost of transferring animals into the shelter, we provide community out-reach programs, and routine dog/cat food donations to the local food bank.

All monies raised by Friends of Charlie’s Place are from private donations, grants and fundraisers.

Additional adoption info

Adoption Process
Come to the shelter and meet the animal you are interested in. If you are interested in a dog, bring any other dogs you may have for a "meet and greet" session. Bring your family members. If you want to adopt the animal, fill out an application. Multiple applications on animals are accepted. If more than one person is interested in adopting an animal, the home that is judged to be the best fit for the animal will be selected--it is not "first come, first served."

The animals in our care often came to us because of abuse, neglect or abandonment. Sometimes they were surrendered by a person who couldn't care for them appropriately. These animals have a second chance at the shelter. They've already had a hard life, so we consider it important to place them into homes that will be safe, loving, and permanent!

Please note that you may not be able to take the animal home the same day you complete the adoption application. The process may take days for an animal with multiple applications or where home checks need to be scheduled. If we believe for any reason that the animal is not a good match for an applicant, we reserve the right to not approve the adoption.

Adopting an animal is a long-term commitment that should not be made hastily, so take your time in making the decision to adopt! Research the breed of the animal you are interested in--dogs in particular were bred for a function, so make sure you know what that is. Carefully consider the time, money, energy, and long-term commitment it takes to care for a four-legged family member. Think about where you will be one, five, ten years from now. Will the animal still fit into the picture?

Adoption Fees
Dogs/Puppies $75
Cats/Kittens $60
The adoption fee includes spay/neuter and vaccines (not including Rabies). Microchips are available for an additional $10.
