Helping dogs across Colorado
This is the tale of a dog named Brice. A story that has a couple twists and a few turns, all with the goal of helping a kind Labrador retriever mix find his way home.

Ruh-roh, we’ve got a mystery on our hands with sweet Ash
Ash’s story has a little bit of everything—the unknown, hope, intrigue and an ending that will leave you exhaling with relief. While it could be a movie of the week, it’s the sweet story of a 6-year-old Bluetick Coonhound/Australian Cattle Dog.

Nate, a 7-year-old Domestic Shorthaired brown tabby, has a whole lot going on behind those gorgeous green eyes, but this sweet cat wants what we all do … love, a family and a place to call home.
