Saving Animals Today
Our Impact
By the Numbers
Animal Friends Alliance has been saving animals in our community since 2006. In that time we have:
Adopted 27,238 cats and dogs into loving homes
Spayed and neutered 64,145 dogs and cats
Trapped, neutered, vaccinated and returned over 1,300 community cats
Keeping pets in homes
We believe that the best home for an animal is the loving home they’re already in. We offer services to help keep pets with the families who love them, including:
Our Spay/Neuter Clinic helps local pet owners access basic preventative health care for their companions
Our Kibble Supply Pet Food Pantry fills the gap for pet owners facing financial insecurity
Our Prevent a Litter Plus program provides financial assitance for under-resourced pet owners to get their furry friends spayed/neutered and vaccinated.
Pet Spotlight
Sarah
My name is Sarah. I’m from New Mexico! I was declawed before I came to Animal Friends Alliance, and I’m not happy about not having my from claws so I’m a little grumpy, but I do enjoy getting pets and scratches, especially on my cheeks and neck. I enjoy spending time with people, but on my own terms.
I do not like being picked up; I very much like being given the space to do things my way. That being said though, I do really like to be part of whatever people are doing. Are you fixing up my food? Are you giving me more water? Where are you walking, can I come with?
If you are interested in meeting Sarah, please call the Mulberry Shelter at 970-484-8516 to make an appointment to see her.

What we do
Community Pet Resources
Spay/Neuter Clinic
Spaying and neutering not only prevents unplanned litters, it protects your pet’s health and wellbeing! In addition to sterilization, our clinic offers vaccination, testing, flea/tick and heartworm prevention, and other basic preventative care.
Kibble Supply Pet Food Pantry
Pet owners who are governmental assistance, who are struggling to make ends meet, or who are facing a temporary financial hardship can receive free pet food from our Kibble Supply Pet Food Pantry on designated distribution days.
Community Cat Program
Our Community Cat Program traps, spays/neuters, vaccinates, and returns community cats to safe outdoor placements or finds loving homes for socialized kitties. If you are caring for a colony of community cats, we may be able to help.
Prevent A Litter Plus Program
Preventing unplanned litters and keeping pets healthy is imporant for every family, regardless of financial situation. Our Prevent a Litter Plus program provides assistance to spay/neuter and vaccinate the pets of community members with lower income.

Happy Tails
Otter’s Happily Ever After
Otter, the two-year-old retriever/lab mix, came to us after an accident left her with a life-threatening leg injury. She was brought to our clinic where it was determined that the injury was too great to save the leg. Dr. Marsella, the shelter veterinarian at our Taft Hill Campus, performed a lifesaving surgery and she was placed in an amazing foster home to heal.
Otter recovered like a champion in her foster home and her story resonated with a new family who joyfully adopted her. Otter is now enjoying the love and care of her new home.
