Denver Animal Shelter
- The Denver Animal Shelter (DAS) is sending up the “bark signal” (is that the dog equivalent of the bat signal? let’s pretend it is.) cuz they need your help! A growing number of pets are looking for their forever homes and shelters across the Denver metro, so for a limited time, the DAS has reduced adoption fees to $5.
