Grand County Pet Pals (GCPP) has a long and successful history of providing support to animals in our community whether at the Grand County Animal Shelter or the pets of citizens in need. Our primary focus is providing financial assistance for spay and neuter surgeries for pets in Grand County. Whether one is an animal lover or not, we all are impacted by pet over-population. According to the American Veterinary Medicine Association, the capture, impound and eventual destruction of homeless animals costs taxpayers and private humanitarian agencies over a billion dollars each year. Unwanted litters cost people money and time but the animal pays the ultimate price: with their life, simply because they are homeless. We aim to prevent that.

GCRHN works to educate the community on health issues and improve accessibility and efficiency of the healthcare system.

We are currently expanding our donations through planned giving, annual and recurring donations.

The challenging project for GLAHS at present is the development of the Cottage Camp, to be a unique museum site interpreting the impact of the automobile on the West. The centerpiece will be the Smith Eslick Cottage Court, the earliest original condition "motor court" in existence. With your support and partially funded by a grant from History Colorado - State Historical Fund, the Cottage Court is now completely restored, and is listed on both the CO State Register of Historic Properties and National Register of Historic Places. The next phase for the project is essential - fabrication and installation of exhibits at the site. So many stories to tell, so much history to share! We want to accomplish a lot in the coming year. And your support is vital!
