Testimonials
"I adopted MPR's beautiful Chloe almost 2 years ago. This week, she was taken by an awful cancerous cyst on her spleen. I have been devastated because she was my life and literally my shadow. She went everywhere and did everything with me. She made my life so much better. She brought me so much happiness and endless smiles. She is going to live on in my heart forever. Thank you so much for letting me adopt her and welcome her into my life. She made me a better person. " Tyler R
"I’m incredibly thankful to Mountain Pet Rescue and all their hard work matching these animals with their humans. Alli has been such a blessing. She keeps me on my toes, keeps my heart and mind open! She goes on countless adventures right by my side! She went from homeless wandering in OK, to sleeping in my bed, fly fishing,hiking, backpacking, camping and spreading love! Thank you MPR! " Jaimie Z
"We cannot thank Mountain Pet Rescue enough for bringing our sweet Rosie (originally called “Margo”) into our lives! We appreciate the person who realized how wonderful she was and got her out of the kill shelter in Arkansas and into foster care; the person who transported her to CO (We wish we knew who to thank!); Shannan, who introduced us to her neighbor, Allison with MPR; Allison, who helped me find a dog and sent me text photos of many who needed homes and eventually got us in touch with Rosie. Elissa, who was fostering Rosie in Craig and her sweet family that took great care of her before she came to us. The whole process of finding a rescue dog went very smoothly, thanks to your very helpful volunteers! Rosie is a great friend to our whole family and our favorite thing to do is go on hikes. I am so thankful to have her as my best buddy, always up for any adventure! She loves to run around, roll in the snow, and socialize with other dogs. " Katy H

Background Statement
Pets come into our lives and touch our hearts. Sometimes they change us forever.
For Sybil Miller, that pet was Boris - a Bernese mountain dog who would have continued to swelter under Florida's sun if Sybil hadn't flown from Colorado to rescue him. Sybil had been looking for a Bernese but couldn't find one in a Colorado shelter; the breed was so popular there, no one had one available. When she contacted the Florida shelter, they were thrilled that Boris had finally found a loving home and could be the mountain dog he was meant to be.
The experience taught Sybil that certain dogs that are in high demand in Colorado mountain communities are often considered unadoptable in other states. With the help of a group of dedicated volunteers, Sybil decided to start a local rescue dedicated to finding homes for these types of dogs. And so Mountain Pet Rescue was born.
Mountain Pet Rescue is a foster-based rescue based in Grand County, CO that now serves the front range and several mountain communities in Colorado. Mountain Pet Rescue focuses on rescuing active, energetic "mountain" dogs by working with overcrowded shelters in and outside of Colorado. Our volunteer based organization strives to match each dog with its perfect home by assessing the dog's temperament, evaluating the potential foster and adoption home, and following up with the pet owner to ensure a healthy and enjoyable lifelong relationship. Once a Mountain Pet Rescue Dog, always a Mountain Pet Rescue Dog! In addition, Mountain Pet Rescue has started a spay/neuter grant program to provide funds for low cost spay and neuter as well as other veterinary care in underserved areas.
