About this shelter

El Paso County Animal Control in Colorado Springs, CO

El Paso County Animal Control is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, about 1 mile northeast of the city center, and operates within El Paso County, home to 22 other animal shelters and rescues. The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region, which runs this shelter, maintains two adoption centers—one in Colorado Springs and one in Pueblo—offering dogs, cats, small animals, and barn cats for adoption, along with veterinary services like vaccine clinics and spay/neuter appointments. The organization also operates an Animal Law Enforcement division that enforces animal welfare laws across the Pikes Peak Region, and it runs a robust foster care program to help save the lives of pets in need. Regular hours apply throughout the week, with the shelter closed on Saturdays.
