Virginia creeper does well here and will cover a fence. It may also spread to where you don't want it; it can be pretty aggressive. The CSU Veterinary school guide to poisonous plants states that Virginia creeper can cause excessive salivation and vomiting, but that it is of minimal risk to animals, but you should check with your veterinarian.
Another option that is native to CO may be Western white clematis Clematis ligusticifolia. I would check with your veterinarian about the toxicity for pets.
