Animal Rescue of the Rockies

Animal Rescue of the Rockies ARR places at-risk pets from overcrowded shelters in loving foster homes until they're adopted. A.R.R. also works closely with other rescue groups in Colorado.

Animal Rescue of the Rockies is a 501(c)3 non profit Colorado corporation. Organized in 2003 by a group of friends who wanted to provide an alternative to the county shelter, A.R.R. has successfully provided foster homes and subsequent permanent homes to hundreds of dogs and cats to date. Because we don't have a shelter facility, we work exclusively with foster homes to give homeless pets the chan

ce to socialize in a home environment. This gives them the advantage of transitioning to their new forever homes much more easily and quickly. We help with transport, fostering, and adoptions whenever we can. Foster homes are always needed, and there never seem to be enough! If you can open your heart and home temporarily to help save a pet's life, we would love to hear from you! Sign up to become a superhero to save more lives!

💚 HAPPY TAILS 💚

Remember Chowder? This resilient little guy is now officially Charlie—or, more formally, Sir Charles Chowder 😄

His mom recently shared an update, and it's clear that Charlie is thriving. He's become the perfect companion, loves his daily walks, and has even started daycare with his adoptive brother, George. He's taking to training like a champ and recently enjoyed his first Rockies Bark at the Park game—and his first-ever pup cup! ⚾🐾

Most incredible of all is Charlie's transformation. Since being rescued from severe neglect, he's put on weight, his hair has grown back beautifully, and he's looking healthy, happy, and ready for his first grooming appointment.

His mom says she couldn't imagine a more perfect fit and is grateful every day that their paths crossed. Stories like Charlie's are why we do what we do.

Swipe to see what Charlie looked like when he first came to ARR. The difference is truly amazing! 🤩

💚 HAPPY TAILS 💚

Cartwheels has truly leveled up—from shopping carts to warm laps!

This handsome guy was living in the cart stand at a local Target, where kind employees made sure he had food, but it was no place for a cat to call home. Thankfully, ARR foster Paula stepped in and gave him a chance at a better life.

Though fearful at first, Cartwheels soon discovered that soft beds, tasty treats, and indoor living were pretty wonderful. After being neutered and vetted, he was ready to find his forever family.

While he remained a shy boy around most visitors, everything changed when Joy came to meet him. Cartwheels walked right up to her and climbed into her lap—and Joy knew she had been chosen. 🥹

Now known as Ted, he recently celebrated his one-year adoptiversary with Joy. He spends his days enjoying all the lap time, snuggles, and treats he deserves.

Huge thanks to Paula for giving him a second chance and to Joy for providing the loving, peaceful home where he could truly blossom. We're so happy for Ted and his mom!

💚 Loves toys, tug-of-war, fetch, and chew bones
💚 Sweet snuggle buddy after a fun day of play

Sadie gets along well with other dogs and is learning all the puppy basics. She'll thrive with adopters who are ready for the joys of puppyhood and committed to helping her continue to grow and shine.
