COLORADO SAINT BERNARD RESCUE (PURPLE TEAM)
The Colorado Saint Bernard Rescue (CSBR) is a volunteer 501c3 non-profit dedicated to the re-homing of abandoned, abused, and unwanted Saint Bernard and Saint Bernard mixes. It is our mission to save the world 150 pounds at a time!
CSBR is 100% volunteer-based and we exist solely on donations and rely on fundraising to help these dogs in need. All of our dogs our fostered in private homes where they are provided extra love, nurturing and training as needed. Our generous donors and sponsors help provide medical care (big dogs = big vet bills), food and anything else these dogs need, in order to get them ready for their forever homes. At CSBR, we never turn away a dog because of an expensive medical condition. We make every effort to ensure that the right dog is placed in the right home.
HOBO CARE BOXER RESCUE (BLACK TEAM)
Ho-Bo Care Boxer Rescue is a non-profit, all volunteer group in Colorado committed to rescuing homeless, abused and unwanted Boxers and Boxer mixes. The Boxers taken in by Ho-Bo Care come from shelters, homes where they can no longer stay, or the streets. Often the dogs are starved, sick, injured, or neglected. They need shelter, food, medicine, medical treatment and sometimes basic training. Mostly, they need owners willing to provide a safe, healthy home and lots of love and attention. The Boxer thrives with human companionship and needs to be included as a family member to be happy. Ho-Bo Care volunteers endeavor to fulfill this need for every dog that enters the rescue.
Ho-Bo Care volunteers spend countless hours on the phone and on the road despite having full-time jobs. Volunteers respond to requests to take dogs in, transport the dogs, arrange medical and foster care, conduct home and reference checks, fundraise, and provide education and resources to adopters and the public. Because Ho-Bo Care is an all-volunteer organization, all money raised and donated goes back to the dogs.
Ho-Bo Care was formed to rescue and be an advocate for the Boxer. That advocacy includes educating adopters about the special characteristics of the breed and the responsibilities of ownership. All rescue dogs are spayed or neutered, fully vetted and micro-chipped. Ho-Bo Care promotes spaying and neutering to avoid irresponsible breeding, which leads to overpopulation. Through education and outreach, Ho-Bo Care endeavors to keep and place more Boxers in loving homes, and keep them out of shelters.
L.O.L.A.'s RESCUE (LIGHT BLUE)
L.O.L.A.’S Rescue is a non-profit animal rescue organization. We are based in Colorado, providing services for Colorado and surrounding states. Our rescue was founded on the idea of being able to save as many at-risk animals as possible from uncertain futures, while upholding the highest regard and values for animals in our care. Our concentration is on animals from high kill shelters and at-risk animals in abuse, neglect, and abandonment situations, reducing the number of euthanasia (due to overcrowding) in our shelters and surrounding areas. We rehabilitate these animals so they can be placed in amazing, loving homes without the threat of an uncertain future.
Our founder, Roni Taylor, has been saving animals since she was a teenager. She formalized the rescue in 2011, after her Weimaraner, Lola, passed away. Since then, we have:
- Successfully placed approximately 600 dogs a year in forever homes.
- Drastically reduced the number of unwanted litters and homeless animals who were being euthanized
- Provide education on the importance of spaying/neutering and info on local low-cost or free resources
- Went from saving large & giant breeds to taking in all cases who need our help and care
We want all of our animals in foster homes, thus, we want to consistently increase our number of fosters and volunteers to save more lives. We are always open to support from local businesses & individuals — financial donation, dog/cat food, animal supplies (crates, leashes, collars, etc.) or even sharing us on social media. We operate solely on the donations and support from our community. We are immensely proud of this relationship and hope to increase it as we continue growing as a rescue.

NO KILL COLORADO (NAVY TEAM)
No Kill Colorado’s mission is to help Make Colorado the Safest State for Homeless Pets. Through advocacy, legislation, clinics, adoption and other events, we are working to save every healthy or treatable homeless pet entering the Colorado shelter system.
No Kill Colorado works with organizations across the state. Our programs and services have reached from the southern border with New Mexico, north to Fort Collins and far west to the Utah border in Grand Junction. In order to do that, the organization embraces and advocates shelters and rescues to utilize the No Kill Equation to save every healthy treatable pet.
The No Kill Equation is made up of 11 programs and services that enable shelter and communities to become No Kill. These programs and services are equally important and must be implemented comprehensively to prevent the killing of any healthy or treatable homeless pet.
SLOPPY KISSES ANIMAL RESCUE (PINK TEAM)
Sloppy Kisses Animal Rescue is a volunteer-based 501(3)c charitable organization that was founded in 2018 by a group of animal advocates in Colorado. It was formed to rescue as many stray and homeless animals as possible by partnering with shelters in areas that are inundated with stray and relinquished animals. Sloppy Kisses Animal Rescue works to transport the animals to Colorado, fosters them in temporary homes, provides for their medical needs, brings them up to date on vaccinations, spay/neuters them if they aren’t already, and adopts them to permanent homes. This is accomplished through working with a network of volunteers, foster caregivers, local veterinarians, animal trainers, and donations!
We also work with our local community to provide assistance with re-homing pets and providing resources such as behavioral and medial to people who are considering surrendering their pet in an effort to keep pets in their homes and out of the shelter system.
