Proudly serving Summit County, Colorado since 1990, the League for Animals and People of the Summit (L.A.P.S.) is a registered 501 C-3 non-profit #84-1157625.
LAPS raises funds to support a variety of assistance programs for companion animals of low income families living or working in Summit County, Colorado (Blue River, Breckenridge, Dillon, Frisco, Heeney, Keystone, Montezuma, Silverthorne).
While not directly associated with the Summit County Animal Shelter, we do support their spay/neuter program with a generous grant from
The Summit Foundation.
LAPS also sponsors a discount voucher (for spay/neuter only) that can be picked up at the
County Animal Shelter in Frisco.
Funds for LAPS programs come from your annual tax-deductable memberships, seasonal special events, public grants, personal endowments, and generous donations from our wonderful local business community.
