Foster homes are an incredible gift to shelter pets, even if you are a busy, working foster parent! 🐾

“I can’t foster, I work a 9–5.”

We hear this all the time, but the truth is..

Most shelter dogs spend 23+ hours a day in a kennel.

That means even if you’re gone 8 hours for work, they’re still getting so much more than they would in the shelter.

Not to mention:

✨Your home is quieter.�
✨Your walks are calmer.�
✨Your couch is softer.�
✨Your presence brings joy.

Fostering doesn’t mean being home 24/7. It means giving a dog a chance to feel safe, loved, and learn what it means to be part of a home.

If you’ve ever thought “I can’t foster because I work”…know this: you are not alone in that feeling AND…you absolutely can foster an animal.

How to care for wildlife this season!

🚨 URGENT: HELP SAVE BABY SQUIRRELS & OWLETS! 🚨 Please share!

With high winds worsening into tomorrow, baby squirrels and great-horned owlets are in danger tonight and into tomorrow. These vulnerable babies are still in their nests, but with gusts expected to reach 70 mph, we anticipate tree limbs breaking and entire nests being blown to the ground. This puts the babies at serious risk of injury, hypothermia, and death. Here’s how you can help:

🔎 Check for fallen babies under trees, in downed branches, and on the ground. Squirrels may be small, hairless, and look like baby mice. Hypothermic babies may appear lifeless but can recover with warmth.

🧤 Wear gloves, place them in a small box lined with a t-shirt or towel. Keep them warm. Ask your Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator for direction.

🚫 Do NOT feed or give fluids. This can kill a hypothermic baby. Keep them in a dark, quiet place away from pets and people.

⚠️ Injured adult birds are also at risk due to high winds—bring them to RMWA if found.

🚑 Bring them to Rocky Mountain Wildlife Alliance ASAP!
🕚 Intake Hours from 10AM-4PM Daily
📞 Call first! 720-831-8130

Every minute counts when storms like this strike! Thank you for your help and caring about wildlife!

We’re proud to announce that Haven Animal Foundation awarded the 2nd Annual John W. Kuenning Grant to Rocky Mountain Wildlife Alliance (RMWA) in 2024!

RMWA is making a tremendous impact, having saved 1,046 wild animals this year, including a rare dark morph Ferruginous Hawk rescued from Franktown. Their 80% release success rate reflects their dedication to giving animals the best chance at returning to the wild.

Their approach is as compassionate as it is innovative:

🦅 A focus on enrichment for all animals and choice-based training for animal ambassadors ensures animals are treated with care and respect.

📚 A dual mission blends a holistic proactive and reactive approach through wildlife education (reaching 5,800 people in 2024 alone!) and wildlife rehabilitation.

🐾 A cutting-edge facility, complete with fully customizable enclosures and a new 100-foot flying tunnel, gives animals the space and tools they need to heal.

💡 Committed to accessible and inclusive services, RMWA strives to make a difference for wildlife and their human neighbors alike.

We are inspired by their dedication and resourcefulness, and are honored to support their mission. Please join us in celebrating their lifesaving work!
