About Us
Who We Are
Our PACFA licensed animal rescue transport nonprofit consists of a very small group of volunteers who transport dogs in urgent need from rural shelters in Colorado along Highway 50 (La Junta, Rocky Ford and nearby towns) to safety with rescue groups and larger shelters in the Denver area, where they are cared for and placed in forever homes.
We transport the doggies each week (6 hours round trip), usually once and sometimes twice a week, to ensure they make it out alive. We are currently using our own vehicles so we could always use help with gas money!
How We're Helping
A big part of what we do is networking before every transport to find rescues to receive each dog. It is a huge relief for the small rural shelters to know that when the dogs are out of time at their facilities, they have a safe place to go.
We couldn't do what we do without the amazing rescue groups in Colorado! They step up for these dogs week after week and we can't thank them enough! Once we get the dogs safely to their new rescue, they are placed into foster homes where they get the vetting and attention they need before being placed up for adoption!

DRIVERS:
We are always looking for new drivers so if you want to become a volunteer for us reach out to us on the Contact Us Page.
PHOTOGRAPHER:
If you love to take pictures, we could use your help on Sunday's taking photos and videos of the doggies as they get off our transport so we can use the photos for our website and social media sites to give these dogs more exposure for adoption. If you are up for the challenge and want to take a ride with our volunteers and document the whole drive, the dogs getting out of the shelter and then off to their new fosters - that would be incredible. Let us know!
SHELTER VOLUNTEER:
If you live in La Junta or Rocky Ford and would like to help at the shelters, please let us know. They need caring and dependable volunteers who can visit the dogs, take photos and help clean!
DONATIONS
Your donations really do keep us moving! We rely on donations to help with gas money, car maintenance but most importantly of all - we LOVE to be able to provide the rescues with some extra assistance.
The rescues who take these dogs with such little info are the real superheroes and sometimes that means these doggies need extra care like vetting and special training. There are some training programs that cost $1500 for the dogs who have had a hard life and need a specific board and train program to set them up for success to be adopted. We love to be able to offer that to rescues who wouldn't be able to take a dog otherwise due to cost restrictions. Your donations go a long way!
