At C.A.R.E., we believe every dog deserves a happy home, with a life free of stress, anxiety, and fear. That’s why we’re excited to offer behavior support services to both recently adopted shelter dogs and to owned community pet dogs too.
- If you adopted your dog directly from C.A.R.E. in the past year, give our Behavior Manager, Luke Barta, a call at the shelter for courtesy behavior support (no need to apply!), 970-947-9173.
- If you have a pet dog in need of behavior support, and you did not recently adopt your dog at C.A.R.E., check out the details of our Pet Dog Behavior Support Program below!
