Pawsitive Pathways exists to save the forgotten dogs of rural Colorado - dogs in underfunded, overcrowded shelters where adoption opportunities are few and euthanasia risk is high.

To save dogs from rural, underfunded, and overcrowded Colorado shelters; places where adoption is unlikely and the risk of euthanasia is high due to limited space, scarce resources, or restrictive municipal codes. By focusing on rehabilitation, education, and advocacy, we aim to create lasting change for all rural Colorado dogs and the communities that care for them.
Pawsitive Pathways is a small but mighty nonprofit based in rural Kim, Colorado. Founded in 2022 by dog trainer and behaviorist Brandie Jackson and animal welfare advocate Lynn Gerber, we began as a grassroots effort to help at-risk dogs in underserved, underfunded, and overcrowded shelters. What started as a family-led passion project, quickly grew into a PACFA certified, 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a proven record of saving lives and creating lasting change for rural dogs and their communities. In only three years with just a few team members total, we have rescued and placed more than 120 dogs into loving homes and helped save 250+ more from euthanasia, abandonment, or surrender - through transport, networking, and resource-sharing.
