Temporary Lodging and Pets

• There are limited Temporary Lodging Facility (TLF) units on Peterson SFB that allow for pets. When making lodging arrangements, ask for availability.
• There are no kennels available on base. However, there are numerous kennels in Colorado Springs. Pets will need to meet vaccination requirements of the boarding facility.
• Please make reservations before arrival.
• If owners choose to stay in an off-base establishment to avoid kenneling their pets, they will not receive TLF reimbursement unless they have obtained a non-availability statement from TLF.

Renting and Pets

• Many apartment communities do not allow pets.
• Those communities that allow pets may have restrictions as to the size, weight and breed of the pet and may charge pet rent in addition to a pet deposit.
• Please check all lease information carefully.

Licensing and Registration

Pet licensing in Colorado Springs is handled by the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region ( 719-473-1741.)  If you are assigned quarters on-base, please note that the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region will not register your pet; Schriever Space Force Base does not fall under their jurisdiction.

Quarantines

There are no local pet quarantines.
