COLORADO PET PANTRY (ORANGE TEAM)
Colorado Pet Pantry is a statewide pet food bank that was founded in 2013. We temporarily feed Colorado pets, allowing families to increase their ability to care for pets with the goal of keeping them out of shelters and with their families. With the help of our supporters, we strive to provide pet food assistance to cover the gap when housing costs, inflation, medical expenses, vet care, job loss, or underemployment chip away at the resources people need to feed their pets.
COLORADO JAPANESE CHIN RESCUE (WHITE TEAM)

DOUGLAS COUNTY CANINE RESCUE (TURQUOISE TEAM)
DCCR Mission Statement
Our mission is to rescue as many stray dogs as possible from shelters that are over capacity. DCCR works with local veterinarians to spay, neuter, microchip and provide necessary medical care. We help rescued dogs transition from temporary foster homes into permanent homes. After an application and thorough screening process, dogs get adopted into the loving homes that they need and deserve! Douglas County Canine Rescue does not have a facility. DCCR is a 100% foster based rescue and relys solely on the kindness and generosity of animal lovers who open their hearts and homes. Our large foster base helps us take care of the animal orphans that desperately need our help. We have a wonderful team of volunteers, fosters, local veterinarians, and rescue partners who help us save dogs from euthanasia. It truly takes a village of committed people to make things happen every day!

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.
MILE HIGH CANINE RESCUE (BLUE TEAM)
Mile High Canine Rescue was founded in 2019 and is a 100% volunteer ran, 501c3 non profit in the State of Colorado. Our mission is to pull dogs from shelters in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas and provide medical care, behavior and training support, and socialization all within a loving foster home. In 2020, MHCR brough 1100 dogs into our rescue.
MHCR believes that rescue is full circle and keeping dogs out of shelters out of shelters in the first place is a huge part of rescue. For this reason, we also sponsor low cost spay and neuter clinics within low-income areas of Colorado. We have paid for the spay and neuter of 290 dogs between the two clinics we have sponsored thus far in 2020 and 2021, and have another 3 day clinic sponsored in Monte Vista, CO on March 25-28, 2021. Along with spay and neuter services, MHCR supplies rural, underfunded shelters in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas with vaccines and needed supplies to ensure the health of the shelter populations and communities. Finally, MHCR offers a medical assistant grant program to Colorado dog owners that find themselves in a financial crisis due to emergency medical care needed for their dog.
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.
REZDAWG RESCUE (TEAL TEAM)
Who is RezDawg Rescue?
RezDawg Rescue was founded in 2011 because our founder, Angela Cerci, rescued a tick-infested Rez Dog from beneath a trailer on the Navajo Reservation in 2010. Since that time, we’ve rescued, transported, fostered, spay/neutered, vaccinated and provided loving care to over 8,500 animals-in-need from the Four Corners Region.
We relocate dogs and cats from high-intake shelters and animal control facilities on Native American Reservations. We offer medical care and low/no-cost spay/neuter surgeries on the Rez where services are needed most. We run regular adoption events to ensure these animals can live the rescued life they so richly deserve. Our network of over 200 dedicated volunteers make this possible and we are eternally grateful for their continued support.
Our plan for 2019 is to both alleviate the suffering and work locally on the Rez to end the problem entirely.
*In 2018, long-time RezDawg volunteer and transport driver, Shaun Manchester, passed much too soon. RezDawg Rescue is dedicating our participation in Relay for Rescue 2019 to his memory.
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.
