Every Creature Counts

Love this place help us with one of our cats cheaper the vets to get any cat or dog fixed and there shots!!! Keep up the great work! Wishes you’d do bunnies as well

I have been taking my dog there and have never had any problems but just went in to make a appointment and there is a new girl in the front desk that wouldn’t even get up to make a apt of even say hello also i took my dog in to get spayed and they where really nice the morning so i droped my dog off and then they called and said i need to go pick up my dog that the vet heard a heart murmur so i wet and picked her up and took her 2 dofferent vets and they said there is nothing wrong with her heart thank God she just a puppy…

I adopted a precious 4 month old kitty from PetSmart (kitten was from Every Creature Counts). He had the cutest little meow and sweet face. My stepdaughter named him Pirate. I applied to adopt him and the next day I got a call from Lisa, to interview me. We chatted and she approved the adoption. She said she would fax an approval to PetSmart by 5pm. I went to go pick up my new kitty at 730pm. I asked staff if they received the the approval. They hadn’t, and it took about an hour for them to reach someone to verify that I was indeed approved. While I waited I visited with My new little guy. I noticed he had a very fat belly for such a young kitty, and that he had a bald spot on his head. I asked a shelter volunteer as well as a PetSmart Manager if they knew anything about these items. I was assured that he was medically cleared and that they had no medical records for me to review. When I questioned it again, I was told that ECC never sends home sick animals. So I chalked the bald spot up to maybe a fight with another cat. I promptly scheduled a visit with my veterinarian who sees my other 2 cats to be sure. We brought Pirate home and noticed that he had foul gas and poop – like really, really bad and constant. I called the shelter to ask about this and left a message. The staff returned my call, insisting that he must have gotten sick under my care (I had him for less than 24 hours).
The next day I brought kitty to the vet. My vet stated that he was actually 6 – 7 months old, which she could tell by his new teeth coming in. I wondered if ECC told me he was 4 months in order to get the higher adoption fee or if it was an honest mistake. My vet said his stomach issue was likely worms and we gave him another deworming treatment. And my vet told me that she couldn’t be 100% sure, but she thought the bald spot was ringworm. She would have to order in specific meds, since they don’t see ringworm much at the vet as this issue is usually addressed at the shelter and he would need to be isolated for 8 weeks minimum. I was extremely concerned at this, as my stepdaughter has a compromised immune system and ringworm is very easily transmitted from cats to humans. I proceeded to call ECC several times (no answer) and drove him in a snowstorm from Aurora to Fort Lupton so they could treat him. The director was very understanding and took my kitty to be treated. I called on about a weekly basis to check up on him. Lisa seemed very annoyed to answer my questions and return my calls. I was told he would be ready in «one week» about 4 times and that they didn’t think it was ringworm (if not, why is it taking so long??). I understand that ringworm is hard to treat, but don’t give me false timelines. Now the kitty has been with them for 2 months, making him 9 months old. My resident cats rejected an adult cat addition to the family previously even after a slow and lengthy introduction, so a kitten 2 – 6 months is all we feel comfortable with at this time. Lisa stated she would send me a check to refund the adoption fee of $ 100. I’m pretty heartbroken, since my whole family got very attached to this little guy. I’m also angry that I was accused of giving my cat ringworm. And I’m frustrated that I was told he was medically cleared to adopt when he obviously wants not. I’m also out a $ 200 urgent care vet fee; $ 25 in donations I made to the shelter, $ 125 in carpet cleaning to clean up the ringworm infected areas, $ 150 in cat toys, carriers, and beds that had to be thrown away, and several hours of bleaching and cleaning where kitty stayed overnight. But the worst is that my stepdaughter who is 7 already loved him and is devastated that we cannot take him back. I would advise anyone to be very very thorough with getting medical records of a pet you adopt. I trusted the wrong people and it cost me a ton of money, time, and tears.

This was our third trip to ECC… it has been a great experience each time. All three dogs came though with flying colors… THANKS I WILL ALWAYS RECOMMEND ECC.

This is a good low cost vaccination clinic. They are open Monday-​Saturday for vaccinations from 1 – 3. They charge $ 10 per shot and they have the four in one, bordatella and 1 or 3 year rabies available. They don’t have the lepto available. They are fast and they are cheap and they are no frills. I like supporting them because they are a no kill shelter. They are a genuine no kill and they have animals available for adoption. It’s a bit of a drive and they have spay and neuter services dental and micro chipping also available. Good service. A bit dodgy looking when you first get there… but it’s a good place. They are genuine in their mission and offer reasonable vet services for good prices. It’s a good non profit. No frills but a good place.

ECC is a true asset to the community. My group uses their facilities for TNR (Trap Neuter Return) for feral cats and they treat us like gold every time we bring cats into their clinic. Even though our cats are homeless they are given the same care as companion patients and we could not do what we do without them. Thank you to the entire staff for helping us make a difference.

Very impressed. We had our dog neutered at this facility and was very impressed as it was very organized and friendly staff.

This review is for the low cost spay and neuter clinic.
They’re very reasonable in price, sometimes it may be hard to get in because they’re booked but you have to think ahead. They do their job well and I’ve never had an issue. I had my moms schnauzer spayed here and she did well, groaned all the way home because that’s how terriers are.
Gave her the pain meds and she was fine in three days.
I pay for one spay or neuter at $ 50 a year here. They’re always nice to the people I send in, even if those people are not very nice to them.
I would love for them to have a low cost mobile clinic one day. It would be great.

Do not be discouraged by the appearance of this place! The first time I came here I was getting my previous dog, Sebastian, neutered. At first I was a little concerned with the location and appearance; however, the staff was extremely friendly and my pup received the necessary attention he needed. They put my mind at ease and called me as soon as he was done with surgery. They provided me with the necessary pain medication, «cone of shame», and thorough instructions.
The dog I have now, Buster, was also neutered here and I received the same experience as prior. Any pet of mine who will be neutered/​spade, I will only bring to Every Creature Counts. I refer all of my friends, coworkers, strangers, anybody I overhear needing to neuter/​spade their animal.
I have not been to this location for other services but their neutering clinic is definitely top of the line!

I have a GSD that I brought to them for shots! They refused service because he is 4.5 years old and is still in tact! They told me they would not give him shots because he was not fixed! I am a very responsible owner! There name is Every Creature Counts that is not true! I was very disappointed that they refused to even give shots to my GSD! I don’t recommend Every Creature Counts!!!

This place is amazing!
We have not adopted a pet from them YET, but what we did experience with them has been wonderful.
Their low cost spay and neuter and vaccines has helped with my parents 4 cats.
My 16 year old dog was having bad problems with his teeth, and they ended up pulling all of them. Yes, the dog was able to eat just fine with half soft, half kibble food m, and play with his bully sticks for another 3 years. People kept saying they just want my money, but they only charged $ 26 to do it all!
They take good care of their pets, as well as pets that have already been adopted. We bring left over food that my parents pets have decided not to like, as well as old blankets and pet supplies. I plan on adopting a new family member through them when the time is right.
I would recommend them to anyone looking to adopt, or anyone who had a need with their current pet.

Adopted a dog from here yesterday. The whole process was really smooth and everyone was very nice. The dog seems to have been well cared for there and had all of his shots, de worming etc all done! Would definitely recommend!

Wow! I am so happy that I found this place!
I had to take two 6 month old dogs to be neutered here, along with getting their vaccines/​shots and microchips. They have scheduled drop off and pick up times and when I dropped my dogs off in the morning, the place was very busy but everyone (even the ‘customers’) were very friendly, patient and helpful. The pick up wasn’t as hectic or busy and a bit easier since the animals were still feeling the effects of their medications, etc.
From the outside, it really doesn’t look like a building that would have anything to do with animals but don’t let that fool you. The staff is great, really friendly and the prices they charge are great in comparison to other vets. I had a vet in Brighton quote me nearly $ 2,000 for one dog (are you kidding me?) and I took two dogs here and paid under $ 200.00 and they received excellent care.
My dogs didn’t have any problems healing and no complications from their surgery. They did an excellent job here and charge prices that allow owners to be responsible with their pets. I highly recommend this place!

The ECC shelter is located in Ft. Lupton, on Factory Circle. They shelter dogs and cats and provide medical care for them until they find their forever home. Last year husband and I adopted a wonderful little coonhound from them. These folks work tirelessly to provide for the animals in their care and there are a lot of them to provide for, believe me. Since they don’t have a lot of visibility in Ft. Lupton, they work with the PetSmart locations holding adoptions on the weekends. Since we adopted Sam I’ve started volunteering with them to walk the dogs that don’t go out for the adoptions on the weekends (the reason they don’t go to the adoptions can be that they need more socialization or medical care).
Most importantly this is an animal RESCUE, a very, very busy rescue. It disappoints me to see posts from people who adopt animals from rescue organizations and then don’t have the good sense to take the animal to their local vet for a complete check up but expect the organization who is already stretched to their limits to return their calls and jump to see the animal that just found a home.

I researched and then did some more, I even called several shelters and my usual vet before coming here.
I live in Arvada and made the drive to have my new adopted 6 year old Corgi neutered, and his sister given shots. From the very first call making the appointment to the time I picked him up rom surgery everything went well. They were kind, professional and informative.
I would recommend this vet to anyone. There was not a single problem with the service or care my dogs received.

The actual Fort Lupton location doesn’t seem to be a shelter itself, but I’m not sure. I went there looking to adopt a cat, but they didn’t have any (they were all out at Petsmart/​Petco/​foster homes). They were running a very busy vaccination clinic with tons of dogs. There were dogs behind fences to the side of the building, but I’m not sure why they’re there. The employee whom I spoke to was very nice.
Anyway, there was a cat I saw on their website who was awesome. I emailed them about him and they emailed me pretty quickly and answered questions I had about him. The email response from Lisa came very quickly, and it had a lot of positive energy. In all, I highly recommend this shelter/​organization. Just be sure to check the website to see animals you’re interested in, and try to get an appointment to see them instead of randomly going, like I did.

While I have never been to their location in Fort Lupton, I have adopted two cats from Every Creature Counts via a Petsmart in Denver:
Panda is a black & white tuxedo cat who is a goofy lovable dude
and
Talulah is a slim calico who is hysterically funny and super smart.
I emailed ECC with an update on both cats a year later and got a very nice email back thanking me for letting them know that both were doing so well.
ECC seems to do alot of great work for animals with out homes and seem to really care about finding them forever homes. I am do glad they have partnered with Petsmart to give them good exposure to help cats and dogs get adopted.

A beautiful momma cat with 5 babies decided to adopt us. She just showed up on our doorstep one day and never left. We found her babies new homes when they were done being weaned and we called our family vet to get her spayed & vaccinated because we wanted to keep her and give her a forever home.
Don’t get me wrong, my vet is awesome and worth every penny for the quality care they give our 3 dogs. But when I called them for a quote to get Mamma fixed I about fainted. They wanted over $ 300!!! I told them we couldn’t possibly spend that kind of money on a stray cat. The vet gave me the name and number of ECC and told me that they are very highly recommended for low cost spay/​neuter care and other things.
They weren’t lying! Mamma got spayed, vaccinated, a rabies shot and 3 days worth of pain medicine for a TOTAL OF $ 55!!! We brought her home the same day too.
Now here’s the part where you need to show some effort. When you call their appt hot-​line between 9am-​1pm, m-​f, you will probably get a busy signal. Keep calling until it rings! These people are busy and in high demand. I called them on a Friday and they booked my appt on Sunday! They spay/​neuter 7 days a week. Also, you need to show up on time between 7 – 7:30 am. Keep in mind there are probably 10+ other families booked at the same time. They take everyone at once, just stand in line.
Print out your paperwork ahead of time off of their website and you’ll be in and out of there in under 10 minutes. They’ll give you a pick up time and your total amount of your bill. You pay cash when you pick up your pet, no checks, no credit cards. Cash only!
I only spoke to the lady at the front desk, and I could tell she was a very nice person who sincerely loves animals. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our new family member in their care. It’s located 25 miles outside of Denver and worth the drive. My Mamma kitty is doing great and getting adjusted to her new surroundings. All is right in the world when you know you’re loved and a life was saved.

We recently rescued a 1yo kitten from a Petsmart that gets it’s pussy’s from Every Creature Counts. She was an instant member of the family, even getting along famously with our older Dalmatian.
She was clean and healthy, and the good folks there were terrific about qualifying us, and following up… Great stuff! Thanks gang!

All right, so for those of you pet owners out there here is a very neat place. They offer low/​cost spay and neuter for your dogs or cats and it’s the least expensive way to make sure you aren’t a grandparent to your little four legged friends.
Their hours are kind of limited in terms of when you can bring your pet in, and also when you can call and make an appointment. But to pay under $ 100 to spay your pet, is definitely worth it. I took both my dogs there when they were still located in Brighton and didn’t end up having any trouble. One of my pups also continued to lick the stitches and we had to go back a couple of times to make sure that they were okay, and the staff was really friendly.
They also offer other services like hernia repair, vaccinations, and have a feral cat program (they vaccinate and fix the cats).
