Hands On Animal Shelter Management.

Our Veterinary Technology Teaching Hospital is located on a 220-acre farm overlooking the spectacular Elk Mountain Range of central Colorado. Our Vet Farm provides opportunities not found at most schools or colleges, especially for studying large animals.

The Farm population averages 175 animals. You'll do hands on care for horses, cattle, sheep, llamas and the usual assortment of turkeys, chickens, dogs and cats. A collection of exotic, laboratory and wild animals provides unusual veterinary care situations. You can care daily for owls, eagles, lizards, tortoises and several hawks.

The Colorado Animal Rescue (CARE) shelter located on the farm provides high quality care for animals awaiting adoption. This offers additional opportunities for students to learn how to care for these animals and operate a humane shelter.
