Humane Society of the South Platte Valley

WHO WE ARE: The Humane Society of the South Platte Valley (HSSPV) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established to serve the communities of south Denver. Our humane society offers shelter, care, and compassion for lost, stray, and unwanted animals, until they are reclaimed by their families or adopted into a new home. WHAT WE DO: At the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley, we are committed to strengthening the bond between pets and people and being the community’s animal welfare resource. As the local nonprofit animal shelter for the South Metro Denver Area, we serve the community by taking in lost, stray, and abandoned animals and providing those animals with compassionate and individualized care during their stay at our shelter. We work hard to reunite lost animals with their families and find new homes for animals who need them. Any stray animal found within our jurisdiction that comes into our care is placed on hold for 7 days while we attempt to locate an owner. Once this period is over, the animal belongs to the shelter and we work to prepare them for a new life. We also transfer in homeless animals from outside communities in order to provide relief to underserved shelters. Our animal care plan takes into consideration the physical and mental well-being of each and every animal we serve. All of our animals are processed upon intake, and during this time their individual needs are assessed.
