"A No-Kill Animal Shelter"

About Us - Who We Are - What We Do
Roice-Hurst is a "No Kill" animal shelter, providing loving care for homeless dogs  and cats. 

 Hours : Closed on Tuesdays.  Mon. - Sat. 11:00 am to 6:00 pm   Sun.  1:00 pm to 4:00 pm  

Roice-Hurst Humane Society has served the homeless dog and cat population of Mesa County for over forty seven years. Through the decades, the organization has weathered financial ups-and-downs of our local economy and substantial population growth.

In January of 2010, the Board of Directors of RHHS adopted new Mission and Vision statements, developed guiding principles, and a business statement to ensure consistency, accountability, and transparency. It is with these new pillars that RHHS will move forward into the future.

Our Mission: 
 To provide safety, shelter and care for homeless dogs and cats in Colorado’s “Grand Valley.” As a “no-kill” shelter, we are dedicated to placing these companion animals in loving, permanent homes. We promote responsible pet ownership and humane education through collaboration with the area’s animal welfare community.

Our Vision:
 We envision a unified Western Slope society that values the life of every companion animal; where no healthy, treatable and adoptable dog or cat is euthanized; and where every pet finds a safe, loving and permanent home.

Our Guiding Principals:

- WE SHARE A GOAL to provide shelter for homeless dogs and cats and find everyone who comes to our door a “forever” home. 

- WE ARE PLANNING A FACILITY where the public learns about animal welfare, rescue and responsible pet ownership; where volunteers are involved in the care and placement of homeless pets; and where staff has the resources to not only feed and house our animals, but to enrich their lives. 

- WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS A COMMUNITY that not only provides financial support for its homeless animals, but which gives its time, talents, and heart to ensure that every pet has a safe and loving home. 

- WE WILL DEMONSTRATE COMMITMENT, COMPASSION and COURAGE in our efforts to lead by example and be transparent and authentic in everything we say and do.

Business Description:
   Roice-Hurst Humane Society, Inc. is a nonprofit organization providing safety, shelter and care for homeless dogs and cats in Mesa County, CO, since 1963. Operating a “no-kill” boarding and adoption facility, it promotes no euthanizing of any healthy, treatable and adoptable pets. As a private 501(c) 3 tax-exempt corporation, the society is funded by contributions, service fees, and grants.

Today, the shelter still remains a vital, supported, and recognized community asset in helping to provide a safe haven to homeless pets in the Grand Valley.
