  • TCRAS Launches Summer Push to “Empty the Shelters”

    TCRAS Launches Summer Push to “Empty the Shelters”

    Reduced adoption fees and plenty of loving pets looking for a second chance

    The kennels are full, the tails are wagging, and the folks at Teller County Regional Animal Shelter (TCRAS) are hoping this summer is the start of a whole lot of new beginnings.

    Starting this week and running through July 19, TCRAS is participating in the #EmptyTheShelters adoption event in partnership with the BISSELL Pet Foundation. That means drastically reduced adoption fees for all animals one year and older, giving families the chance to welcome home a new best friend at a fraction of the usual cost.

    TCRAS, located in Divide, serves the Pikes Peak region as a limited-admission, no-kill shelter, helping over 900 animals a year who are lost, abandoned, or in need of a second chance. Every dog and cat that enters the shelter receives the time, medical care, and training needed to find a forever home. And until that home comes along, the team at TCRAS is committed to caring for each animal like one of their own.

    Right now, the shelter is full of wonderful dogs and cats waiting to start their next chapter. If you’ve been thinking about adding a four-legged family member, now is the time.

    You can browse adoptable pets at www.tcrascolorado.org and schedule a visit by calling 719-686-7707.

    Every adoption makes room for another animal in need. Help TCRAS spread a little more hope—and maybe bring home your new best friend while you’re at it.
