Colorado Animal Rescue, Inc. (C.A.R.E.) was incorporated in 1992 by local veterinarians. For nine years the rescue and placement of abandoned, stray and surrendered animals was done out of the homes of dedicated C.A.R.E. board members. Our shelter facility opened its doors in 2000. Since opening, C.A.R.E. has taken in and placed over 10,000 dogs, cats and exotics.

The mission of Colorado Animal Rescue is to provide safety and care for homeless and abandoned animals. We make every effort to place our animals in loving, permanent homes, to encourage population control and to promote responsible pet ownership. We are dedicated to providing education and support to the public and being the communities animal welfare resource center.
