Colorado Animal Rescue (C.A.R.E.)

Connecting Pets to their People

Colorado Animal Rescue (C.A.R.E.) is a community-powered animal welfare organization serving Garfield County.  For 25 years, we've been here for pets and people, helping animals find loving homes and supporting families when they need it most.

Guided by our core values of compassion, collaboration, and gratitude, we're building a future where every pet is safe and every family has the resources they need to care for the animals they love.  Because when pets and people stay together, our whole community thrives.

Our Community Programs Include

• Compassionate shelter & adoption services
• Dove Fund spay/neuter vouchers
• Year-round Pet Food Pantry
• Pet Dog Behavior Support Program
• Free pet ID tags
• Community Trap-Neuter-Return
• Seniors for Seniors

These programs work together to save lives and ensure pets stay with their families.

These programs work together to keep pets safe, support local families, and reduce barriers to pet care so animals stay where they belong: at home, surrounded by love.

"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."  - Bob & Karen

We proudly follow the principles of Socially Conscious Sheltering and the Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare, ensuring every pet receives compassionate, high-quality, individualized care.
