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.

FOSTER FOUND
This mama and puppies have been looking for help for almost 3 weeks. 😪💔
Not one rescue or human has offered to help. There is a local woman who put straw in the outdoor dog house and is feeding her but they deserve more than trying to survive in the cold.
Is anyone available to foster? Would someone commit to fostering mama once the babies are weaned?
Food, supplies and vetting are provided by the rescue.

Sometimes the universe just knows what it’s doing. 💫🐾
Winslow’s story started in fall 2024, when he was just a 4-month-old pup waiting patiently for his forever person. He was the last of his litter of 10 to be adopted—but clearly, he was saving his heart for the right one. And when that person finally showed up, it was worth the extra waiting. ❤️
Fast forward one year… and Winslow’s dad felt ready to open his heart again. Enter West—a 1-year-old boy who, by pure serendipity, looks uncannily like Winslow. 😲 While Winslow was born in Texas and West in New Mexico (so not littermates!), their resemblance stopped everyone in their tracks.
A meet-and-greet sealed the deal. These two hit it off instantly—playing, napping, and adventuring like they’d been waiting their whole lives to find each other. 🐕🐕💙
We are so grateful to their incredible adopter and to everyone who helped save these two beautiful souls. Stories like this remind us that timing is everything—and love always finds a way.

. We received this fun updated pic from Lucy's mom.
As you can see from the pictures of the litter, Lucy was the runt (by quite a bit). Her foster mom worked hard to get some weight on her and although she never quite caught up to her siblings, she certainly came into her own.
After all of Lucy's siblings were adopted and we still had Lucy 2 weeks later, her foster mom adopted her.

Meet Ruby Sue — the sweet, silly, slipper-snatching star of the show! 🌟At 9 months old and 8 pounds, Ruby Sue is an adorable pup with the perfect combination of playful energy and soft, snuggly sweetness. She’s fully house-trained, loves her treats, and has mastered the art of being both silly and polite. Ruby Sue lives with other large dogs and fits right in, making her an excellent companion for a household with canine friends. At bedtime, she knows exactly what she wants — she’ll happily curl up in her kennel rather than share the bed (even though she loves her people!).
One of her cutest quirks? She steals slippers whenever she gets the chance… but never chews them! It’s all part of her charm. Like any curious pup, she loves to pick up sticks from the yard and proudly try to bring them inside, but she’s a smart girl who responds beautifully to “drop it.” Ruby Sue is a playful pup, a cuddle bug, and a total joy to have around. Whoever adopts her is going to feel like they won the jackpot. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

✨ Rocky Update! ✨
Rocky, the sweet senior who was rescued by one of our amazing volunteers, has officially made his way to Denver — and he’s already getting the love and care he deserves.
Here’s the heart-melting update we received:
🦴 He went to the chiropractor and is already walking a little better. This guy is the sweetest, most gentle, loving guy. Great with dogs, loves and really appreciates human affection. Sleeps pretty much all day. Has two dog beds in the room I work and he’ll just go from dog bed to dog bed. No accidents inside. Wants to go outside to walk around and sniff stuff, then heads right back to bed. Sleeps through the night. Incredibly gentle and loving.”
Rocky is safe. He is loved. And you helped make that happen. 💛

⏰ Colorado Gives Day ends TONIGHT — and we’re almost there!
We need just $2,385 more to reach our $15,000 goal, which will earn us an additional $15,000 to save more dogs and cats in need! 💚🐾
Meet Winston, a perfect example of why this goal matters so much.
When Winston arrived at Circle 2 Rescue, he was in heartbreaking shape. After months struggling to survive on the streets, this tiny boy came to us extremely emaciated, nearly hairless, covered in sores, and suffering from painful eye injuries. 💔
But with medical care, several vet visits, and lots of TLC from his foster family, Winston has transformed.
In just 6 weeks, his wounds healed, his eyes were bright again, his coat had grown back, and he put on some much needed weight. He became a new dog — because he finally had hope. ❤️🐶
This is what your donations make possible.
Healing. Comfort. Second chances.
Your gift will not only be increased by Colorado Gives, it will be DOUBLED thanks to our angel supporter, helping twice as many animals like Winston get the care they desperately need.✨
👉 We only need $2,385 more before midnight!
Please donate now and help us achieve the full $15,000 match.
Every dollar saves lives and because we are an all volunteer organization, 100% of your funds go to the animals and not someone's salary!💚 💚

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
