Here's the deal: We're fierce advocates for Colorado families and their four-legged friends.
We’re on the ground floor of a growing problem with overpopulated and understaffed shelters and families needing rehoming assistance, housing solutions, and compassionate behavior support. Frankly, the current solutions aren't cutting it.
We're a judgment-free 501(c)(3) non-profit organization using creative strategies to reduce Colorado's shelter population. Our mission involves solutions to keep animals from being surrendered to the shelter and support for local shelters to find loving homes for pets stuck in the shelter system.
This is hard work, but we are up for the challenge, and we could use your help.
Pledge with us to shake up the stale systems and bring effective and necessary programs to the pet rescue world.
