Mission

Grand Valley Pets Alive is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit all volunteer organization. Our purpose is to reduce the population of homeless cats and dogs in Mesa County through the humane methods of Spay/Neuter and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR).

GVPA advocates for implementing programs proven to reduce pet populations and improve the lives of homeless animals:

  • Low-cost spay/neuter available to all pet owners
  • Trap-Neuter-Return to reduce feral cat populations
  • Encourage foster care to improve adoption rates
  • Community education and involvement on related issues

GVPA seeks to facilitate the collaboration of local governmental entities, animal organizations and the community to help achieve this purpose.
