Colorado Canine Rescue (CCR) is a 501c3 nonprofit corporation incorporated on August 8, 2008. Our mission is to aid the community by decreasing the amount of dogs killed in Colorado shelters through fostering and finding forever homes for these dogs. CCR will also help educate the public about the hundreds of adoptable dogs waiting.

It was estimated that 6,000-7,000 dogs were euthanized in participating Denver animal shelters in 2006. There are several reasons for this, including lack of resources, lack of public education, and unhealthy and aggressive animals. By founding CCR, we hope to assist the community by providing additional temporary homes for needy dogs and to better educate the adopting families to ensure permanent forever-homes for each dog.

CCR is dependent on its volunteers, and we are in need of foster homes at this time. If you are interested in becoming involved with CCR please contact us!
