I found a little older dog wandering on the highway, while traveling…on my way to Durango today. They gladly took the dog! Two very nice ladies working at the shelter today! I hope they find the little dog’s owners or adopt him out to a nice home! Thank you for the wonderful work you do!

My family and I initially adopted a dog there and failed to tell me about this dogs behavior and potty habits let her know the difficulties I was having and offered little advice. With no choice and no other options we gave the dog back to the shelter and the manager was upset and banned us from ever adopting there again. She claimed because i lied about the whole situation but she had no right to be insensitive and cruel . this shelter is a dump these dogs are living in flith and stink . I DO NOT recommend to adopt!

The staff here really cares about the welfare of the dogs. They work hard to match the right dog with the right owner for the benefit of both! They go the extra mile for every dogs well being!

Zero if it was possible. They won’t accept strays! And don’t answer the phone . I Had a puppy show up that didn’t get the memo not to get lost before after 4 or before 11 and definitely not a Monday!I Tried to take a different stray here in July 2019 they refused him and again now in December of 2022 the refused again they said I would just have to keep this puppy. I had him for 2.5 days my dogs did not take to him at all plus I rent my home.They were doing fundraising today…. Asking for money while simultaneously refusing to help the animals they are supposedly sheltering. What a scam! Between the refusal to take him and their hours no wonder so many animals are homeless and getting dumped in the country. We ended up taking this sweet puppy at the dumb friends in alamosa.

The staff was very professional, and helpful. Dorthy is a Christmas gift for my husband, as his best friend passed away three weeks ago. I can't wait to bring her home. Thanks Guys, for making this happen.

I don't about how treat live animals but they were rude with cremation. They told me it would be 3 to 4 weeks, at 4 weeks, nobody called. I called left a message, nm obody called me. A couple days later I called left a message. I called a couple and got somebody, he didn't know if my dog was done I told him to go look. I got a call back in about 10 minutes from a woman that said "I don't appreciate being spoken to like that". I asked when my dog would be ready she said" we had a lot of animals come in" and " the crematory wasn't working right". I had my son call them the following week after I had left another message. They could have spoken to me at anytime about the issues they were having, but they yelled at me and then ignored me. My dog wasn't just a dog she was my girl and she was very much.loved.

Amazing people running the shelter. They are extremely good at their jobs and very loving towards every dog. Each dog has a story and they make sure they are all being heard

Called ahead about a dog, (Doger) asked if he was available. Chris the assistant manager said, "YES". Went down that day to meet the dog, and I put a $50 hold on him.I was called the next day by the manager, Stevie. She said, she had a scheduled a meet and greet for the dog the next day. They decided they like the dog.I was told, Chris made a mistake, and the dog was not infact available. Apparently they have a few places that they post if the dog is on hold or not. They use sticky notes, and a white board. They have a real system in place (I say sarcasticly)I would've been cool about the mix up, but Stevie didn't even apologize. She was cold, and heartless . When I asked her questions trying to understand what happened she gave me attitude like it was my fault.I sincerely hope she treats the dogs better then potential adopters, because her energy was so negative and sad. This shelter needs a update on a good system and a caring employee.

These folks are just loving, caring people. I took my best friend to them after he passed away for them to cremate him. They MORE than understood my grief and were wonderful.

I drove from Fort Garland to adopt a new pet. Unfortunately, they are no longer open on Saturdays. The gate was locked but I met a young man there who informed me of the new change (which was effective about 3 weeks ago). I am giving it 2 stars because the young man was friendly. He wouldn't let me view any animals as they were not open and apologized that I drove from the other side of the valley. I informed him that their: website, the sign outside of their building and google all showed the shelter as open. It makes me sad because it is hard to come adopt during the work week. I feel like a lot of good pets will be missing out on good owners due to their limited hours.

If you have a fenced yard that they feel is secure for your adoption dog and are willing to let them come to your home for an inspection and if your a renter if your landlord will vouch that he is ok with you having this Dog then this is the place to go. They have some real nice Dogs needing homes

Great people run this shelter for even better reasons. Check them out and if you can't adopt an animal at least volunteer an hour or two. They need all the human contact and smiling faves they can get!

Although I'm sure they take good care of the animals, the young lady working there was more interested texting then helping us look for a dog. We went to another shelter and found a forever dog.

The "no kill" Conour Animal Shelter is just full of furry friends longing for a good home! If you're looking for a companion, or even a friend for yours, go by the shelter!

Looked like a place that really takes care of their animals. It’s just a shame that they aren’t open during reasonable hours during the week and they are now CLOSED on Saturday - don’t let the sign at the front or Google tell you otherwise. I’m not sure how employed people are going to get a chance to adopt their dogs and cats - It’s just a shame!
