About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Animal
Since 1997, individuals have volunteered to support companion animals of the Surface Creek Valley community.
Our mission remains the same today; rescuing each from hunger, thirst, pain, injury, disease, discomfort, fear, and distress; while providing community welfare and giving companionship and support in forever homes.
Our Story
The Surface Creek Animal Shelter is a not-for-profit 501c3 organization. It operates the Surface Creek Animal Shelter and The Shelter Shoppe Thrift Store both located in Cedaredge, Colorado.
Through its volunteers, the Surface Creek Animal Shelter provides care and support to over 400 cats and dogs each year and strives to find each animal, a forever home.
