2 BLONDES ALL BREED RESCUE (MINT TEAM)
2 Blondes All Breed Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dog rescue based in the Denver metro area. We are dedicated to saving dogs from overcrowded, high-kill shelters and placing them in loving forever homes. Through partnerships with committed volunteers, accredited veterinarians, trainers, boarding facilities, and shelters, we strive to help achieve a No-Kill Nation.
Since our founding in 2015, we have rescued, fostered, and adopted over 12,000 animals. We primarily serve the Denver, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins metropolitan areas. Due to our reliance on established veterinary relationships and volunteer support, we do not facilitate out-of-state adoptions or placements outside our general service areas.
As a non-breed-specific rescue, we welcome both purebred and mixed-breed dogs. Because most rescue dogs’ lineage is unknown, breed designations are based on veterinary recommendations and cannot be guaranteed. Additionally, many of the dogs we take in require medical care for conditions such as broken bones, heartworm disease, and skin issues. These treatments are generally completed before adoption, though some medical needs may require ongoing care, which will be fully disclosed to adopters.
Your support enables us to continue rescuing, fostering, and caring for at-risk animals. Thank you for being part of our mission!
COLORADO PUPPY RESCUE (BLUE TEAM)
Dedicated to saving young puppies and their mama’s.
CPR fosters first opened their homes in 2005, our CPR community has helped us rescue and find homes for over 16,000 puppies. We provide love, safety, and health care for our puppies while we search for their new forever family. A CPR puppy is always a CPR puppy. We adopt exclusively out of our adoption center in Parker and work side by side with trainers and veterinarians to make your adoption experience a good one. Colorado Puppy Rescue’s volunteers are allowed into every aspect of the organization and can attest to our genuine care and love for our puppy’s health and well-being. We value our volunteers, fosters, and adopters tremendously; we could not run the rescue without them. Thank you for considering Colorado Puppy Rescue and helping those who cannot help themselves.
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.
KARL'S CANINE KREW (RED TEAM)
The mission of Karl’s Canine Krew is to help adoptable companion animals find homes through fostering and adoption while helping to relieve overpopulation of shelters through education, spay/neuter, and community outreach.
Karl’s Canine Krew is a 501c3 nonprofit, PACFA licensed, foster based rescue located primarily in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We bring animals that are awaiting euthanasia or struggling to find homes in shelters locally in Colorado as well as shelters out of state in New Mexico, Texas, and Kansas into our foster’s loving homes. All animals receive any necessary medical care, as well as a microchip before they find their fur-ever family!
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.
OLD DOGS NEW DIGS (GREEN TEAM)
Old Dogs New Digs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (all-volunteer) organization dedicated to helping homeless and displaced senior dogs and cats. We focus on getting senior animals into loving homes and raise funds to support their health and well-being. ODND partners with animal shelters, rescues, and vet clinics – mostly in Maine, Colorado, and New Mexico. We assist with foster or forever home placement, make financial contributions toward vet care or special food/medications, and raise awareness about seniors in-need. We also assist those who have fallen on hard times, unable to afford quality food and medical care for their aging dog or cat. We have a physical location (and volunteers) in Colorado but as the organization started in Maine, we have a strong volunteer presence there as well.
Do we have a shelter?
ODND is focused on getting senior dogs and cats out of a stressful shelter environment. We assist shelters and rescues with finding short- and long- term foster homes, as well as hospice homes for those who are at the end of their lives. We always welcome new foster home families to join the network so that each animal’s unique needs are more likely to be met!
ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRENCH BULLDOG RESCUE (DARK PURPLE TEAM)
Rocky Mountain French Bulldog Rescue (RMFBR) is a foster-based, Colorado 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming special needs French Bulldogs. Since 2014, we’ve saved over 100 dogs annually, focusing on those with severe medical issues—cases most rescues can’t take.
With the breed’s surge in popularity (AKC’s most popular dog, 2022–current), we’ve seen a sharp rise in surrenders from overwhelmed owners and referrals from other rescues. Many are unaware of the breed’s costly health challenges tied to their anatomy. As a result, RMFBR has developed a reputation for taking on the most complex medical cases.
We provide full medical and behavioral care—including surgeries, mobility devices, and ongoing treatment—and are transparent with adopters every step of the way. Since 2021, our intakes have increased by 50%, and we are seeking funding to continue providing high-level care without compromise.
We also engage in public education, community outreach, and shelter partnerships to promote responsible ownership and long-term change.
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.
WOOF AND WILLOW CO. PUPPY RESCUE (LIGHT PINK TEAM)
Saving street dogs, the puppies born into euthanasia lists, the dogs that have never known love, the unwanted, abused, neglected—the ones that need us the most. No-kill, 501(c)3 non-profit organization serving CO, TX, NM, and beyond. Located in CO.
