Together, we have the power to provide safety and healing for animals like Dinka this Colorado Gives Day!
After losing his home, Dinka was in grave danger—facing a heartbreaking fate as his owner, in desperation, planned to shoot him. Untrained and without medical care, Dinka had nowhere to turn. But with your help, we can rewrite the stories of animals like Dinka.
Dinka is just one of many who have come to us in heartbreaking circumstances. Teddy needed refuge after enduring neglect and cruelty on a hobby farm. Petunia faced euthanasia when she was found as a stray with a critically injured shoulder. And sweet Lily was surrendered because her medical needs were more than her previous owner could handle. These gentle animals deserve love, not abandonment.
Right now, our sanctuary is feeling the strain of rising veterinary costs, skyrocketing inflation, and the economic downturn. Our 70+ residents depend on us for food, medical care, and warmth—but we need your help to keep them safe. Our funds are depleted and need replenishment.
Can you give them the care they deserve?
Just $26 provides 3 days of care, $61 covers a week, and $123 gives two weeks of safety and comfort.
And thanks to a generous matching gift, your donation will be doubled—making twice the impact up to $56,750.
They need you now!
Your love and support can make all the difference.
Will you be their hero today and give today to save a precious life? Our 70+ animal residents will be forever grateful.
The Good Life Refuge provides a safe haven for neglected and at-risk farm animals.
We are dedicated to our core-values:
Ethical Treatment - We believe in the ethical treatment of all sentient beings.

Relationships - We believe in strengthening and nurturing the bonds between humans and animals.
Founded in 2018, Good Life Refuge (GLR) is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing a safe haven for neglected and at-risk farm animals on five acres in Longmont, CO.
With only a few farm animal sanctuaries in the Front Range, the need for more support became clear—especially for discarded, abandoned, or unwanted animals. GLR’s journey began with the rescue of four abandoned ducks in August 2018. Since then, we have provided refuge to over 200 animals and currently care for 70+ animals across 12 species.
Our mission is supported by a dedicated team of 40 volunteers and governed by a board of four members.
GLR focuses on three core areas:
- Animal rescue and sanctuary
- Volunteering
- Education and advocacy for farm animals.
