Their Healing Starts With You – Donate Now to Save Lives! $65,000 Donation Match Available to Help Farm Animals in Urgent Need! Join the statewide wave of generosity! It’s easily the best day to give.

Animals like Pearl urgently need your help so we can continue to provide them with a life of safety, healing, and love.

Together, we can make healing — and happy lives — happen.

When Pearl’s guardian passed away, she not only lost her home but was also battling untreated skin cancer. Thanks to supporters like you, we were able to provide the surgery, radiation, and now ongoing cryotherapy she needs to manage her condition. Today, Pearl is safe, loved, and living her best life at Good Life Refuge.

But Pearl’s story is just one of many. With so many aging and special-needs residents, our medical fund is running dangerously low — even as the need for care grows every day.

💛 Can you help us ensure their care?

  • $26 provides 3 days of care

  • $61 covers a week

  • $123 gives 2 weeks of safety and comfort

And right now, your gift will go twice as far! Thanks to a generous $65,000 matching gift, every dollar you give will be doubled — providing twice the care, twice the comfort, and twice the love.

From November 1 through December 10, your gift will also be boosted by the $1M+ Colorado Gives Day Incentive Fund, made possible by Colorado Gives Foundation and FirstBank. Each nonprofit receives a share based on what they raise — so every dollar you give counts even more.

✨ Plus, if you set up a new monthly donation, Colorado Gives Foundation will match your first month’s gift — up to $100 per donor (and $250,000 across all nonprofits)! It’s an incredible opportunity to double your impact and help our rescued animals year-round.

🐑 Will you be their hero today? Give now to save lives, provide healing, and ensure every animal at Good Life Refuge continues to live From Harm to Safe Haven.

Your compassion keeps their stories alive — thank you for your love, care, and generosity. 💛



Giving Activity

Mission

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.

Education - We believe in the benefits of a plant-centric lifestyle for humans and animals.

Relationships - We believe in strengthening and nurturing the bonds between humans and animals.

Background Statement

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.
