Meet Gomez! He is the Heart of the Rockies Radio Pet of the Week!

Gomez is a 3 year old male Pit Bull Terrier Mix. Gomez is currently in a loving foster home full of treats and long walks but his foster family is going away soon and we’d love for him to find a forever family soon so he doesn’t have to return to a kennel!

His Foster Mom is absolutely in love with everything about Gomez. She said that “he is the perfect balance of a couch potato but will also go on long hikes. I like that he does not need to be exercised everyday but is always up for a stroll when I want to take him on one.”

All adoptable animals receive the following services prior to adoption:

  • Spay or Neuter
  • Age-appropriate boosters
  • De-wormer
  • Vaccines
  • Microchip

Because Dyna is the Pet of the Week, her adoption fees are 50% off (Adoption fees vary by age and animal). Visit the Ark Valley Humane Society’s website to learn more.

The Ark Valley Humane Society is open and available by appointment only, make sure to call 719-395-2737 and schedule an appointment before coming to the shelter! If you or someone you know is in need of pet food, we have community pet food available! Just call us to arrange a contactless pick up! 

Good Pet/Bad Portait

Our second annual Good Pet/Bad Portrait goes live tomorrow morning! When you give a donation of $25 to AVHS, one of our volunteer artists or staff members will send you a portrait of your pet! We have to admit, many of us are much better at caring for animals than crafting masterpieces, but we will try our best to create a beautiful rendering or a comical doodle to bring a smile to your face. Don’t miss out on this great fundraiser, secure yours today at: https://www.ark-valley.org/arkvalley-events/good-pet-bad-portrait/

If you’d like to volunteer to be an artist give us a call or email us today too!
