No Kill Colorado started as a grassroots movement in 2011 to educate the public about successful shelter models that save every healthy treatable homeless pet entering the shelter system. The programs and services that achieve a 90% save rate are being implemented in Colorado with wild success and we are proud our organization has been a catalyst in this change. No Kill Colorado, using these model successes, works with the community, rescues and shelters to improve save rates, moving Colorado ever closer to a No Kill state.
In previous years, monies raised by No Kill Colorado runners and supporters from the Colfax Marathon helped fund the following activities:
- Provided a booth at the Colfax Marathon to host adoptable puppies and dogs! Most of the dogs that were featured at the Colfax Marathon found homes because of this event!
- No Kill Colorado is spearheading a campaign in Delta, Colorado to help save the community cats! You can become involved by clicking here: https://www.facebook.com/DeltaCountyColoradoCats/
- NKC continues to promote the No Kill sheltering model with the public by participating in community events including:
- NKC sponsored a motorcycle run to benefit All For Paws Bikers for Bullies program which assists in adopting bully breeds from our statewide shelter system. The turnout for this event was unprecedented and reflects the compassion and animal loving Colorado biker community.
- Sponsoring “The Champions” movie screening (about 3 Vick dogs)
- No Kill Colorado participates in rescue events and community networking opportunities through:
- Participating in spay and neuter events (in rural and urban settings) in partnership with other Colorado rescues and charities that resulted in the spay and neutering of over 200 cats and dogs, including community cats.
- Working with cat advocacy groups to provide desperately needed food for Denver feral cat caregivers
