Adoption Success Stories

"We adopted Birdie (who now goes by Dharma) earlier this year, and she’s brought us so much joy and excitement over these past several months! She is extremely sweet, cuddly, and this girl meows all day long - but we love it! Nowadays, Dharma can be found looking out of her favorite window, laying on top of her parents, or catching a mouse now & again. SO thankful for this beautiful little girl, and we appreciate C.A.R.E. who helped to find to us the PERFECT kitty match!"

"We lost a beloved dog in December 2023 and decided to adopt a new companion for Sage soon after. This turned out to be a great decision for us, but our best decision was choosing C.A.R.E to help us with our needs.  The staff at C.A.R.E were helpful, insightful, and  wonderful to work with.  A special thank you to Luke and Noah for their help.  We especially would like to note the incredible care and attention to detail all of your staff give to each animal in your care and to each individual coming to you for their needs and wants. again for letting us be a part of your stories."

"To be honest, I adopted Benny for me. I wanted an old, chill cat, but he has definitely bonded with and become my 3-year old's cat. Benny has become our 3-year-old's best friend, following him everywhere, playing with him, and even checking on him if he cries during the night. Though we were told he was 16, it's hard to believe when we see Benny play and jump around like a youngin'. He's a cat who knows what he wants and isn't shy about it, giving us strong head butts and deep meows to demand attention. A few months after bringing him home, we've noticed Benny looks and feels healthier, a sure sign he's finally settling into his new forever home. We absolutely love him."

Testimonials

"Colorado Animal rescue is by far the best animal rescue organization that I have had the pleasure to work with. I Have helped them with numerous animals and I am amazed with the level of care that they provide for their charges. I have personally adopted 3 dogs from C.A.R.E. I just wish they could teach them not to be such big bed hogs before they adopt them. C.A.R.E. is the GREATEST!"

"Colorado Animal Rescue (C.A.R.E) truly epitomizes its name. The wonderful people here not only consistently provide excellent CARE for the animals, but also really care about them. As a volunteer at C.A.R.E. with the cats, whom I love dearly, I have added a dimension and purpose to my life that I never could have visualized."

- Janice K.

"Colorado Animal Rescue is more than just a safe place for homeless animals, more than their best chance to either find their way back to their owners or have a second opportunity for a wonderful life in a new home. It is a team of people who truly love and cherish every single animal that comes through their doors, who will do anything possible to save or re-start a life, and who live and breathe the goal of finding a great home for every single one of the animals in their care. I have been extremely proud to have been a CARE volunteer and foster for 7 years now, and I love and admire the CARE team more with every visit, with every dog that I work with. This is a very, very special place."
