AAF was proud to sponsor and grateful to attend the Western Colorado Animal Resources Welfare Summit last week. It was an incredible regional gathering that created meaningful opportunities to connect, collaborate, and learn. With 25+ organizations in attendance, Colorado Animal Rescue did an outstanding job hosting this education-packed conference. We are inspired by the work happening across the Western Slope and beyond, and look forward to more opportunities like this in the future.

🐾 Happy National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day!

AAF is proud to partner with organizations across Colorado that provide compassion and care on animals’ hardest days. Their work strengthens communities, supports the human–animal bond, and gives homeless animals a safe place to receive the care they need before finding a loving home.

Thinking about adding a pet to your family in 2026? Consider adopting. 80% of shelter adopters say they'd do it again — a testament to the hard work of animal welfare organizations (2026 Hill's State of Shelter Pet Adoption Report).

Coloradans can support this important work by adopting, volunteering, or donating—and helping ensure these essential services remain strong and sustainable.
