My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I've gotten to know Bourbon 3 YO Male over the last few weeks, spending several full days with him around town. Bourbon is an all around joyful guy. He is very adaptable to situations, nothing seems to bother this big guy when we are out on our adventures. When I pick up Bourbon for our field trips he hops right into my truck sitting or laying down nicely in the back. We have spent many days in my office at the Smiley Building. He loves affectionate pets from those he meets, sometimes giving kisses. Bourbon settles into the office quickly and often takes long naps. He is a quiet companion and doesn't bark or stir to the office commotion. Bourbon and I had a patio hang at FamBurger. He sat politely while I had lunch and let a few people give him head scratches. The Durango train went by during lunch blaring its horn, but Bourbon remained unphased. There have been several afternoon thunderstorms and Bourbon shows no anxiety towards them. Bourbon can be quite active when engaged. He loves fetch and drops the ball for you when asked. Bourbon walks very well on a leash. You can go at any pace with Bourbon. You want to jog he is in, steady walking that is fine too. Bourbon just wants to be with his person no matter the tempo. Bourbon knows several commands like sit, shake and down. Bourbon is quite the happy fella and would round out anyone's family nicely.

More about this shelter

La Plata County Humane Society was established as a 501(c) 3 animal shelter in 1971. The humane society was created to provide shelter for homeless animals, rescue animals in distress, assist in the investigation and prosecution of reported cruelty and abuse, find homes for unwanted animals, and encourage kindness and responsibility toward all living things through humane education.

The Thrift Store was established in 1990 to raise monies for the homeless animals. They sell gently-used goods donated by our community. We accept donations 7 days a week through our on-site drive through donation center. The Thrift Store helps to support other local non-profits in the community by donating clothing, toiletries and vouchers to the Volunteers of America (VOA), La Plata Family Coalition, the Women’s Resource Center and many other non-profits.

The Shelter & Thrift Store are directed by nine elected board members. In 2000, a veterinarian was added to our staff to insure that all animals have a health and wellness check, are spayed or neutered, provided initial vaccines, implanted with a identification microchip and have the best quality care before leaving our facility. We are committed to helping animals become their best selves before they are adopted into forever homes.

Help Us, Help Them, One Paw at a Time.
