Spay & Neuter Information

As of May 2024, PACFA, the organization that oversees all shelters and rescues in Colorado, requires every dog to be spayed or neutered prior to adoption. Dogs are not eligible for spay/neuter exemptions for age-related concerns. Adopting-out unfixed dogs in Colorado puts the PACFA-licensee's ability to operate at risk. Exemptions and extensions are therefore only sought out in cases when the animal has a serious, life-threatening diagnosis that makes anesthesia unsafe.
