Easter Boulder County Resident

Generally trying to chase bunnies and not being terribly good at it since he’s 14, Dobby is an older mix from the Dumb Friends League. He’s sleeps on his back with his legs straight up in the air. He’s a good listener and a good buddy.

The Dumb Friends League, founded in 1910, is a non-profit animal welfare organization based in Denver, Colorado. Named after the London-based National Canine Defense League, the term “dumb” historically referred to animals’ inability to speak. This compassionate organization is dedicated to ending pet homelessness and animal suffering. They provide a myriad of services, including adoption, medical care, foster care, and humane education, striving to give voice to the voiceless and improve the lives of animals and people.

The Dumb Friends League operates with a strong commitment to the community, offering programs that promote responsible pet ownership, reduce overpopulation, and prevent animal neglect and cruelty. Their facilities are sanctuaries for thousands of animals annually, ranging from dogs and cats to horses and small mammals. The League is also proactive in legislative advocacy, pushing for laws that protect animals and support animal welfare. Through community engagement and education, they work to foster a more humane society.
