Jose was a lost little stray. He's about 5 years old. Jose is on the shy side and really doesn't like this shelter stuff. He's OK with cats and other dogs, loves to be held and loved, but he'd do best in a quiet home with adults. He perks up when you take him outside for a walk.

Who We Are
Noah's Ark Animal Welfare Association is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization with our mission to enhance the care and living conditions of domestic animals within the city of Trinidad and Las Animas county, with emphasis on population control, disease prevention, adoption programs, support of shelters, and the education of the community on animal care issues. We have received grants in the past for spay/neutering dogs and cats to reduce the number of homeless pet animals, and will continue to pursue available funds. All charitable donations to us are tax deductible and will be acknowledged for your tax purposes.
Our Board
Noah's Ark board and officers have been successfully operating the shelter since 2001. It is an active working board making events happen in the Trinidad area. New Board members who love animals and have plenty of time to serve on our Board are needed. Applicants must live in Las Animas County, Colorado. If this sounds like you, please send a letter of interest to PO Box 478, Trinidad CO 81082. Past events have included the Trinidaddio Blues Fest, newsletter "Noah's Bark", Paws in the Park, garage sales, Peacock Ball, Yellow Doggies donation containers, New Shelter Advisory Board, Feral Cat Program, and animal care education for elementary school students.
Adopting a friend
Adoption fees help to offset the cost of evaluation, housing, feeding, and medical care for over 1200 homeless animals needing help every year.
Dog adoption fee: $50* includes distemper vaccination (does not include rabies).
Cat adoption fee: $15* includes FVRCP vaccination (does not include rabies).
*Any dog that has not been altered will be spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter.
Foster a pet
If you have animal handling experience and would like to help Noah's Ark by fostering a pet, contact the shelter for more information. Our Foster Care program consists of 3 categories:
Kittens: Some kittens come to the shelter without a mother, or need to be removed from the mother. If you have experience feeding and caring for newborn kittens, and can keep them until they're 8 weeks old and weigh 2 pounds, we could use your help.
Puppies: Some puppies come to the shelter without a mother, or need to be removed from the mother. If you have experience feeding and caring for newborn puppies, and can keep them until they're 8 weeks old and a healthy weight for the breed, we could use your help.
Special Needs dogs: Some dogs come to the shelter in need of training, socializing, or with health concerns. If you have experience with caring for and/or training dogs, we could use your help.
