Our Story

Hope for Paws Colorado

We provide transportation, support, education, and resources for pet rescues and our community.

Working tirelessly until every dog has a home.

We are a group of volunteers who work with a variety of animal shelters and rescue groups in the mid-west, southern states, and Rocky Mountain region to provide transport of rescue animals to rescue and adoptive homes.

With some hard work, help raising funds, generous contributions from Tito’s Handmade Vodka; The Vodka for Dog People, and the acquisition of great financing, we were able to purchase our own transport vehicle – her name is Hope. The truck is open from the cab to the back, equipped with air conditioning and heat, fans, insulated, lights, permanent shelving, coated floors and fully climate controlled.

Not only do we provide transportation, but we also offer support, education, and resources for pet rescues and our community.

Transportation

We arrange and provide safe transportation of shelter and rescue animals to rescues and adoptive homes in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region. With the help of our fully climate controlled transport vehicle, Hope, rescue animals get a second change at a happy life.

Support

We facilitate funding, distribution of resources, volunteers, and supplies needed to provide rescue animals the opportunity to live safe, happy and healthy lives. We also collect and distribute food, medication, funds, and other donations to shelters and rescue groups.

Resources

We assist with the costs of veterinary care and supplies for shelter and rescue animals. We also organize and help sponsor spay and neuter events for the public. We help coordinate resources and care for rescue animals with special medical or behavioral needs.

Education

We help educate the public about the importance of all aspects of responsible pet ownership. We help spread the message that adopting saves lives, and work to inform the public of the dangers of pet stores, puppy mills, and unprofessional breeders.
