Upper Rio Grande Animal Society

Dog shelter in Monte Vista, CO

We are a small rural dog shelter. On any given day, our shelter is home to more than 30 dogs waiting to meet you and their family today!
We were lucky to start our shelter back in 2010 and we've been able to successfully keep our doors open. It's taken a lot of love, hard work and dedication, but the animals make every day a joy for us!
