Circle 2 Rescue

C2R is non-profit 501c3 rescue dedicated to rescuing homeless animals. No paid staff - 100% volunteer Without these people Circle 2 rescue could not operate.

Circle 2 Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is supported entirely from the generous donations of animal lovers. A network of committed volunteers, foster homes, and local veterinarians are the backbone of our organization. We are determined to keep administrative expenses low so every dollar donated goes directly to our programs. We rescue the old, the infirm and the young. The aban

doned, abused and injured. We believe that every life is valuable regardless of age or medical issues. We nurture and heal the physical and emotional wounds of animals, rehabilitate them, and find them loving forever homes. Upon arrival, they receive a “Nose to Toes Health Care Exam”, which includes: a routine checkup, spay or neuter, dentals and vaccinations. We strive to increase public awareness of companion animal overpopulation issues and provide solutions that end the killing of adoptable animals in an effort to advance animal welfare and create a more humane world for animals.

Remember our shy girl, Fancy? We had this puppy for 3 months and she watched all 9 of her puppy siblings and her mom get adopted but no one chose Fancy. At last, someone saw past her initial reticence, bringing her treats and giving her all the time and space she needed. Fancy and her sister, MeToo, go on so many adventures with mom and dad and even get to go to work with them sometimes. Thank you for fostering her Kayla Schlagel !

What a cute little fella Buster is! His personality is what will really get you though! It's like he's all grown up but still in a puppy body. Already this youngster is sleeping through the night without so much as peep. During the day he is keeps himself occupied with his toys and keeps his foster mom company while she works, never whining or needy. Remarkably, he picked up leash walks instantly and enjoys a daily stroll with his family. Living with adult dogs, Buster is respectful and good at reading their energy, playing with the ones that like to play and leaving the older, grumpy dog alone. When taken outside for potty breaks, Buster knows what to do but of course, being such a young puppy, he will need some continued guidance. He is such a good boy and some family is going to be very lucky to welcome into their home. We are so thrilled to have this cute little pup in the rescue!

Living with other adult dogs has taught Rudy how to intereact respectfully with other dogs and make friends quickly. Rudy is a sensitive guy and works hard to please his people. He walks well on leash and iis very well behaved when the 8 year old daughter takes him out. Rudy also hangs close to his people when out hiking on remote trails.

Ferris is still settling in at his new home. Poor little guy was nervous after so many transitions. First he was surrendered to the shelter for escaping and he was there for a couple weeks while we tried to find a ride for him. After he arrived, his first adopter's dog decided she didn't want a dog sibling after all so he went to a foster. His forever family is giving him lots of extra TLC including chicken broth on his food, plenty of walks around the neighborhood and yes, sooo much snuggle time.💙🐾

Beethoven and Mozart are one-year-ish old Shih Tzu pups who joined the rescue a couple of weeks ago. In typical Estella Canales Carbajal fashion, she dropped everything and ran to go get them when we got the call that they needed help. While in desperate (is that a strong enough word?) need of grooming, the boys were both friendly and appreciative of human contact and especially Estella's kind words. They could sense immediately that she was their savior. Such a transformation.
We absolutely LOVE the video of Beethoven's ears gently flapping in the wind. You can just tell he has never, ever experienced such a simple pleasure.
Estella tells us that while Mozart (yellow collar) seems to have bounced back quickly and is happy and playful, Beethoven (blue collar) is still a little shut down and seems uncertain about his future. He seems to be wondering, "Is this real? Will it last?" She whispers in his ear that everything is going to be good from now on. More amazing than you can imagine. No more living your life in a crate; your hair will never be matted again; you will never sleep in your excrement. You will know only love.
Both will be available next week after they get neutered but do NOT need to stay together. You can apply and read more about them at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/

Today these 2 Navajo pups left for a new life and continued their rescue journey. Their story began a month ago when they were picked up as strays and faced certain death if they stayed more than a day or two. Knowing their fate, the animal control officer called Cheryl Joe to see if she could help. She didn’t want to have to euthanize these healthy youngsters. Cheryl messaged us to see if we could help and despite having too many irons in the fire already, we agreed… because it was Cheryl who asked. You see, she is an unsung hero. Just a single woman, on her own, doing her best to make ends meet and support her own five dogs. She quietly goes about making it her business to save dogs who need her; finding a way to give them what they need and get them to a better life.
We didn’t have anywhere for these two pups to go… we don’t have a facility like some larger rescues, we don’t have a paid staff, we don’t have a transport vehicle, it’s just a network of caring individuals coming together to save animals. So for a month Cheryl fed and cared for them while we tried to find fosters. Finally, there was a young woman who set her heart on Cara. She committed to her and we were finally able to get her to her home today. But that left Rudy. We couldn’t leave him behind. Out of the blue on Tuesday, a former adopter completed the foster application and was open to fostering Rudy! Now how to get him to from Durango to Denver? I frantically texted another volunteer, Greg Best, to see if by any chance he would make the 14 to 15 hour drive from Greeley to Durango and back again to get Rudy. His response? Yes! Just tell me where to pick him up! So this morning he left at 5 am. After meeting Rudy’s foster, Scott, he will likely get home well after dark.
So, none of this is glamorous. There aren’t any heart wrenching pictures of mangled dogs or astronomical vet bills (but plenty or ordinary vet bills) or dying puppies. But there was so much work and time and love that went into saving these dogs. That’s rescue. That’s the day-in and day-out work that it takes to save a soul. So thank you Cher, Greg, Scott and Kasey for your devotion and fortitude. I’m grateful for every fos

Ferris feels so much better with his new do😊. He was such a good boy as several ticks were removed even though it was uncomfortable. He was so patient and seemed grateful for the care and attention. See more pics and apply at https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2338927&name=Ferris

! Hey there, Shepherd lovers! Meet Titus! This boy is as good as it gets. His foster dad says Titus is definitely a "back of the pack dog" who loves other dogs! Also high on his list of favorite activies are snuggles and receiving praise from his people! He lives for postive feedback and is very eager to please! Titus enjoys playing with his 3 other foster dog siblings and is a rock star at the dog park! He is a playful, outgoing pup who seeks to make friends with everyone he meets! Titus is passive, sweet hearted, longing for his humans approval and affectionate. In addition to having a fantastic demeanor, Titus is very observant and watches the other dogs in his foster home, taking behavioral queues from them and learning to be relaxed and content as well as playful and spunky. He just gets better and better each day. He's a good, smart boy who learns quickly. He’s a pro on the leash, making walks a breeze! He doesn't react negatively to anyone or anything.
You can read more about him and see more pics and videos at this link: https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2299305&name=Titus

It seems that Ms. Winter Nelson is spreading lies that her mama dog and puppies were stolen. This is not true. Winter Nelson placed an ad on FB marketplace advertising the puppies for sale for $15. They were only 4 weeks old. Knowing that dogs and puppies who are essentially given away rarely end up in a good situation, I messaged Winter and asked her about the puppies. She said I could come get them. So I drove to her house several hours away. When I arrived, the mom, a 7 pound chihuahua was chained up in the back yard and the puppies were in a crate without any food, water, shelter or bedding. I asked if I could have mom too since the puppies were only 4 weeks old and they needed their mom. She agreed. So I paid Winter Nelson $40 on venmo and $50 cash for the mom and 5 puppies. So they were not stolen. She SOLD THEM willingly for some quick cash. If they were stolen would I have stopped to get her venmo so i could pay her???
If she would like them back she is certainly welcome to reimburse me for the spay / neuter surgery and vetting. Those of you spreading mistruths and gossip are ill-informed. Think about it. How would I even know where the puppies and mama were? I don't live in the area. Winter gave me her address and I only knew about the dogs because she advertised them on FB.
Anyone in rescue knows that we don't need to steal dogs. There are so many in need and we are all overwhelmed with the urgent needs.
So those of you with nothing better to do than gossip and spread lies, you go right ahead. Live it up. I have better things to do.

Mazy was left behind by her family when they moved away. While she roamed the streets of her small town she of course became pregnant. Mazy made her way back to the abandoned house that she once called home to give birth to her puppies. Each day she ventured out to scavenge food so she was strong enough to nurse her babies. While she was out one day, a soulful animal control officer noticed she was clearly a nursing mama dog so she cleverly followed her "home". There Breanna found the puppies burrowed far beneath the house. Mazy stood guard near the tunnel under the house while Breanna shimmied under the house and retrieved puppy after puppy and brought everyone to the safety of the shelter. There were many others who helped Mazy along her journey including Leticia who networked her, the wonderful driver who brought her to us and of course her foster mom and dad and their dog Buddy. Now Mazy has a family to call her own. A real family, who will never abandoned her.

Ferris is a charming Shih Tzu, estimated to be around 2 years old, and he's ready to steal your heart! This fluffy little guy has a sweet and friendly personality that makes him an instant hit with everyone he meets—whether they have two legs or four. Ferris greets everyone with a happy tail wag and those adorable Shih Tzu face. He enjoys lounging by your side, going for leisurely walks, and soaking up all the love and attention he can get. His foster mom reports he has a calm demeanor and settles nicely. Ferris was relinquished to the shelter for escaping so he needs a secure fence and someone who is committed to being cautious when opening doors. Dont forget! Ferris will require regular grooming to maintain his stylish good looks. 🐶 Ferris weighs 15 pounds

Our Story

Circle 2 Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is supported entirely from the generous donations of animal lovers and through our adoption fees. We have a network of committed volunteers, foster homes, and local veterinarians who are the backbone of our organization. Without these people Circle 2 rescue could not operate. 100% of our funds go toward the animals - we do not have any paid positions. We are determined to keep administrative expenses low so every dollar donated goes directly to our animals. We operate on a shoestring budget and rely on our incredible volunteers to provide loving foster homes, shuttle dogs to vet appointments and work applications so we can find quality homes that are a great match for our pups! We rescue the old, the infirm and the young. The abandoned, abused and injured. We believe that every life is valuable regardless of age or medical issues. Our job is to nurture, heal, and love the animals and then place them with carefully screened adopters.

Circle 2 Rescue saves 400 - 450 animals a year. We take special needs dogs and those needing medical attention, not just the cute, cuddly puppies that everyone loves to love. Some of our companions stay with us for several months while they receive the care they need. The $250 adoption fee for adults barely covers the cost of rescuing a healthy dog. If they need extra veterinary care the adoption fee is not enough to cover the costs.

Your donations are critical . Every dollar makes a difference. Here is what your donations can do:

$15 pays for a microchip

$25 pays for a rabies, distemper, or bordetella vaccination

$30 feeds an animal for a month

$50 pays for a veterinary exam

$75 pays for one neuter surgery

$100 pays for one spay surgery

$150 refuels our van to transport the dogs from small, rural communities in Montana and high kill shelters in Texas.

$250 covers the cost of getting a dog ready for adoption. ie. spay or neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchip and food

$500 will spay 5 female dogs

$1,000 sponsors 4 dog adoptions (covers all spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, food, etc.)

$5,000 covers veterinary expenses for all animals in foster care for one month
