Be a PROUD Coloradoan. Telluride has just become the 21st city in Colorado passing an ordinance banning the SALE OF RETAIL PUPPIES/KITTENS. Currently EIGHT STATES and 495 cities in the United States have a ban on the retail sale of puppies/kittens. This is one of many fronts at battling against the horrific puppy mill industry. Here is the list of Colorado cities currently with such an ordinance:

Alma Aurora Bayfield Berthoud Breckenridge Commerce City
Dillon Eagle Fairplay Fort Collins Fountain Frisco Johnstown
Littleton Mancos Minturn Silverthorne Superior Telluride Vail

Thank you to all the city councils who have compassion for animals and passed these ordinances.

🐶 Loves Dogs Needs Fosters! 🐶

Every dog deserves a second chance, and YOU can be the reason they get one! ❤️ By becoming a foster, you provide a safe and loving home to a dog in need while they wait for their forever family.

Fosters are life-saving heroes who make it possible for us to rescue more dogs from shelters, unsafe situations, and abandonment. Without fosters, we simply can't help as many pups as we want to.

🏡 Can you open your home and heart to a dog in need? Whether it's for a few weeks or a few months, fostering makes a huge difference! We cover medical care—all you provide is love, patience, and a temporary home.

🐾 Apply today and be a hero for a dog in need:

Even if you can’t foster, please share this post—you never know who might be able to help! Together, we can save more lives. ❤️🐶

Desperate Plea for Foster Homes for Animals in Need 🐾
Dear friends and animal lovers,
We are reaching out with a heavy heart and a desperate plea—the shelters we bring our animals up from are completely overwhelmed, and we urgently need foster homes for animals who are waiting for their forever families.

http://www.rmpuppyrescue.org/foster

These precious souls have nowhere to turn but us, and right now, we are running out of space, resources, and time.
Why Foster?
Fostering saves lives. When you open your heart and home to a furry friend, you give them the chance they need to heal, grow, and thrive. Fosters are vital to our mission, providing love, care, and stability while we work to find their perfect family.
The Need is Urgent
With an ever-growing number of animals coming in each day, we need your help now more than ever. If you’ve been considering fostering, please don’t wait. Our animals need you urgently! Some of them have been through so much trauma or neglect and need a safe, loving place to recover. Others are simply waiting for a temporary home until they can find their forever families.
What You’ll Need
No prior experience is required. All we ask is that you provide a safe environment and your loving attention. We’ll be here for you every step of the way with guidance and support. Our team will also provide all necessary supplies, including food, toys, travel crates and medical care.

Please, take a moment to think about opening your home to an animal in need. Every foster home makes a difference, and even a temporary period of your time can save a life.
If you’re interested, please visit our website to learn more and sign up as a foster via the foster application. Our animals are counting on you!
With heartfelt gratitude,
Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue

HUGE VICTORY (news from Animal Victory) - Man Sentenced to 475 YEARS in Prison for Sadistic Dogfighting operation in Georgia.

(IF YOU SUSPECT A DOGFIGHTING OPERATION, PLEASE NOTIFY AUTHORITIES.)

Two and a half years after this news broke, we are ecstatic to tell you that Vincent Burrell was sentenced to 475 years in prison; the maximum penalty possible under law.

Lead prosecutor K.C. Pagnotta said, "It is time as a society that we step up and stop the abuse and mistreatment of innocent animals. Ordinary citizens can play a part in stopping animal abuse by recognizing signs of dog fighting and reporting concerns to law enforcement.”

Animal Victory thanks everyone who added their name to the petition, helping to make Burrell's impressive prison sentence a reality. This investigation/prosecution started 2.5 years ago. We are so happy it had a good ending although we are so sad for what the dogs have lived through and many died.

Paulding County, Georgia – A Georgia man is facing felony charges for running a sadistic dogfighting operation. According to a […]

You are the voice of the voiceless. Speak up if they are in need.

You are the voice of the voiceless. Speak up if they are in need.

Tonight on FOX31 KDVR.com at 5 p.m. our Community Services Officer Tim Haines gives an update on our animal cruelty case involving 11 German Shepherd puppies found in unsafe conditions at a local motel.

“If you think someone or puppies or dogs or any animal that can't tell you 'I'm in trouble,' and you think that animal is in trouble, be the voice for them,” Haines said. “Speak up for them because they can't do it.”

A nonprofit working to end puppymills

We aim to educate the dog-buying public, legislators, and the media about dog mistreatment at unethical dog producer operations and its connection to pet stores, internet puppy sales and “parking-lot” puppy sales. We aim to identify unethical dog producers and sellers in Colorado, research their inspection history and work with regulatory agencies such as PACFA and USDA to encourage strict and consistent enforcement of rules with clear progressive disciplinary steps to force compliance. Further we intend to encourage involvement of local law enforcement in urgent and/or criminal animal cruelty matters at licensed operations. We aim to create and support policies, rules and statutes that improve the welfare of dogs in dog producer operations. We will communicate with the general public, lawmakers, stakeholders and media to encourage these improvements.
