Aurora Animal Shelter

I’m very please with this place. Some guys found a cat at my place of work. He was very sweet and fat and we wanted to make sure he was in good hands after he left there.
I called this shelter and they dispatched a nice gentleman to come pick him up. The next day we checked their website and there he was! Under the Lost & Found.
It brought peace of mind knowing they’re trying to get him home or adopt him out and wasn’t just going to put him down. Thanks to places like this– it gives animals another chance they deserve!

I love it it was clean n there nice to the animals, the ppl are really nice too. and the price was realy good. I just had to wait 4 days to get my dog, but the wait was well worth it. I love my new best friend n he sure does love me too

I adopted my dog at the Aurora Animal Shelter. The people there were great, and the adoption fees were very reasonable when compared to the Dumb Friends League. They provide a great service to the community, and the people that work there are a credit to Aurora.

We have lived in Aurora for 40 years, and have had good experiences with the animal control people. In fact, when we found a lamb, the animal control people found a home for it where it would not become food. (It was a very sweet creature!)
I have had help when a dog seemed to be abused, and have been grateful for the
website when we lost a cat.
All of our pets are rescues, and although not from Aurora, we are very grateful for
the work they do.

I recently moved to Aurora and decided I should start following their laws (much easier that way). In Aurora, you are supposed to license your pets. I was having difficulties with the online option, so I called to find out where to go. The administrative offices for licensing are at the animal shelter. And, it turns out this building is way up on 32^nd, off of Chambers. I made the longish drive and found the place with little difficulty. The waiting room looked like a smaller version of a DMV. Upon entering, a large, ginger cat gave me a greeting, and insisted he be petted, so I obliged. He was very pushy and vocal, in an enjoyable cat fashion.
I had brought the vaccination records and rabies tags with me, but it turned out I needed a copy of the rabies certificate from the veterinarian. To me, this was the «make or break» moment of this transaction. Some places might have told me, «too bad», and told me to come back when I had the right paperwork. That did not happen here. Georgina, the extremely helpful, friendly, and charming lady working here provided me with excellent customer service. She called my vet, had them fax her the paperwork, and took care of everything for me. She did all this while also answering questions from people who were in to adopt or retrieve pets.
What could have been an annoying trip to a government agency was instead a nice conversation with polite and funny people.

I thought the shelter was clean and the people extremely helpful.

This shelter is actually really nice! It’s a little hard to find (in between all the warehouses), but I think it’s worth a visit if you’re looking for an adoptable dog.
