Jean Ausenbaugh had been a volunteer in a local shelter for five years.\u00a0 As a dedicated foster she has done everything in her power to save as many animals as possible.\"\"<\/p>\n

On September 17, 2003, she bought a restaurant on Youngfield that had been empty for a couple of years.\u00a0 It was \u201cdiscovered\u201d by Val Papenfus, a former employee at the local shelter.\u00a0 It took until February 7, 2004, for the renovation to be done.\u00a0 In the short time since the opening of Angels With Paws, Jean, and a group of volunteers who helped during the renovation and since have saved over 11,000 animals, mostly cats and kittens,\u00a0 and including 100 dogs.<\/p>\n

Angels With Paws is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer organization, which believes ALL animals have the right to life.\u00a0This includes a long term care solution for animals in need or that are not adopted (to include feral, Felv\/Fiv, and\"\" senior animals).\u00a0 Our dream is to see the day when no adoptable animal will be euthanized.<\/p>\n

We operate a mainly cage-free friendly environment providing medical and rehabilitation services when needed.\u00a0 We are part of a network of caring people that reaches far and wide and will work with local organizations in the metro Denver area to reduce pet overpopulation by promoting the necessity to spay and neuter.\u00a0 We will also emphasize the cruelty of declawing. We continue to work toward that goal, saving lives one life at a time.<\/p>\n

Our shelter is located at 2540 Youngfield Street in Lakewood. Our phone number is 303-274-2264. The shelter is open from 1:00pm \u2013 6:00pm Tuesday \u2013 Sunday.\u00a0 We are closed on Mondays.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Sadly we lost Jean on June 9, 2020. Our hope is that Jean Ausenbaugh\u2019s vision will not end with her passing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
