Douglas County Canine Rescue

Douglas County Canine Rescue is a Colorado based 501 c3 non- profit, no kill, PACFA licensed animal rescue. Our mission is to rescue dogs, spay, neuter, microchip and provide medical care, and then put them in foster homes until they get adopted into the loving homes that they need and deserve! Douglas County Canine Rescue does not have a facility.  We rely solely on the kindness and generosity of animal lovers who open their hearts and homes to help us take care of the animal orphans that desperately need help.

DCCR has saved over 8,000 animals since inception.  We are making a small dent in the world but our efforts mean the world to each of the dogs we save!  

As a volunteer-powered non-profit organization, Douglas County Canine Rescue would not exist without the hard work and dedication of our fosters and volunteers. The number of dogs we can save depends on the number of people we have helping us. We are always looking for new volunteers to join the family!

There are many ways you can volunteer with Douglas County Canine Rescue. From the preparing our dogs arrival, to meeting them at transport, to helping at adoption events, and assisting with new foster house visits, every step along on our dog’s journey relies on volunteers.  We need supporters to share our pleas to help raise funds for medical expenses!  Costs have gone up by 20% since 2020.  DCCR takes on dogs others won't.  Dogs who have been burned, need emergency life-saving surgery, amputations, behavior issues, pregnant mothers and so much more!  We help them all!

We appreciate our community of helpers and know it truly take a crew to make this ship sail smoothly!  Please consider donating to DCCR dogs and supporting our mission!
