Riverdale Animal Shelter

Adams County Animal Shelter/Adoption Center is now Riverdale Animal Shelter.

We are an open admissions shelter, meaning we take in homeless animals regardless of age, breed, health, temperament or lack of space. On average, we take in about 6,000 stray, surrendered and abandoned animals per year including dogs, cats, small mammals, birds and reptiles. We provide adoption services to find safe, happy homes for these pets and reunite lost pets with their families. We also provide low-cost vaccination and microchip clinics to help safeguard pets against illness or being lost forever.

We provide sheltering services for the cities of Brighton, Commerce City, Federal Heights, Northglenn, and Thornton, the towns of Bennett, Hudson, and Lochbuie, as well as Unincorporated Adams County.
