The Mission of Cats Alive! SLV is to reduce the number of feral and abandoned house cats in the San Luis Valley of Colorado through vigorous spay/neuter programs and, when possible, assist finding caring homes for kittens and tame cats.

We are a small rural nonprofit corporation operating an animal shelter. We are in a low-income area of the state of Colorado. We take in strays from local law enforcement agencies and individuals. We also accept owner relinquishments. The Upper Rio Grande Animal Society Conour Animal Shelter is dedicated to providing a safe environment for the shelter and care of animals in need, and for the prevention of cruelty and abuse of all animals. It is our pledge to nourish the relationship between companion animals and humans through education, media exposure and readily available information and assistance.

Our efforts are mainly concentrated on animals in high-kill shelters to reduce total euthanizations every year. We also provide spay/neuter services to our local community for unwanted litters. Our founder, Roni Taylor, has been saving animals since she was a teenager. She formalized the rescue in 2011, after her Weimarainer, Lola, passed away. Since then, we have: Successfully placed more than 4,500 animals 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 All of our animals are in foster homes, as we are an all-volunteer non-profit organization. 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 very proud of this relationship and hope to increase it as we continue growing as a rescue. Check out more info on us in this article from Mile High Dog.

We are a small dog rescue located in Colorado Springs. We started in 2019 with a board & two experienced foster volunteers. We believe in being a safe haven for dogs with defeated spirits with inclusion of community and education of the public.

Our Nation holds a dirty little secret that many don’t know. An epidemic since the late 70’s, when parrot breeding first took off. Nobody was prepared to care for a “pet” that could outlive them up to 60 plus years. Hollywood featured parrots in movies and tv shows; they were the new fad everyone had to have. But after having one for a short period of time, with no direction and no information, people realized how demanding it was to care for them. Their health deteriorated, most were given away and many were euthanized. Across America, special individuals take in and care for unwanted parrots, mostly in their own homes on their own dime, doing the best they can to provide some sort of life for these amazing creatures. Parrots are not native to the US and are difficult to keep as pets, they are not like cats and dogs. Because of their long-life expectancy, they are a long-term commitment that many people don’t plan for. Yet, despite the hundreds of thousands of abandoned birds across the globe, parrot rescues and sanctuary facilities are extremely rare and hard to find. Colorado alone has over 270 licensed animal shelters, of which, only 3 are licensed to care for companion birds. This is why Pikes Peak Parrot Rescue was founded (3PR). There was an urgent need to be filled! In 2013, the rescue was originally started and has since rehomed over 700 parrots! Our goal is to find loving capable forever homes and families for unwanted companion birds along with educating every person we can on how to provide a fulfilling life for their parrot. People don’t realize that a parrot may have a small brain, but they have almost as many neurons as a chimpanzee; they can speak and associate words with objects and have proven to have the logic of a 4year old child. All parrots are sweet and cute as babies, but once a parrot matures through adolescence, they develop their own personalities, just like people do. It’s at this point most are surrendered because their owner didn’t take the time to educate themselves on how to care for them. A rescue bird is then labeled as “damaged”; a stigma that many use to define birds in rescues and sanctuaries, not understanding or realizing that most of these birds still have another 20-60 years left to live without a home or family. All the while, bird breeders are producing more babies, continuing this cycle and adding to this already epidemic that has plagued us for over 40 years. 3PR wants people to know that NO bird is damaged. They are so similar to us because they know when they like someone and when they don’t, which is why it’s important to visit parrot rescues and sanctuaries to spend time with a bird before you make a lifelong commitment to one; they are not obedient like a dog; when a parrot CHOOSES you, there is no greater feeling in the world! They will be your lifelong friend and genuine part of your family. We urge people to source out a rescue instead of buying a bird from a pet store or breeder. There are so many birds already here and are in need of a home for their long lives ahead. Pikes Peak Parrot Rescue is only able to continue our mission with your help. As a PACFA licensed nonprofit rescue, we do not receive funding. We do not charge people for surrendering their birds. We SOLELY rely on our community to help provide the enrichment and quality of life these birds deserve.

Safe Place for Pets is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit pet placement organization that provides care, support and rehoming services for pets of terminally ill people. For more than 20 years, Safe Place for Pets has compassionately served pet owners diagnosed with terminal illnesses. We have found forever homes for over 1,000 of their beloved pets while also providing needed veterinary care and support. At Safe Place, we place a heavy emphasis on making sure our pets receive quality veterinary services when placed in our care. All of our pets undergo a veterinary examination and are up-to-date on vaccinations, spay/neutered and undergo a comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment when recommended by a veterinarian, ensuring that each pet is happy, healthy and ready for their new forever homes.

Until They're Home focuses offers shelter support, including foster services, behavioral services (training animals and humans) and tech support. We also offer donation-based services for those who don't want to relinquish their animal to a shelter, but don't have the resources or knowledge to keep them. We do it because we love it. :)

We are a non-sheltered animal rescue group. Our mission is to reduce the number of homeless pets through adoption events & area locations and provide medical care for shelter pets in need. All of our adoptable pets come from Mesa County Animal Services.
