Colorado Gives Day 2024

Colorado Gives Day: Saving Lives, Four Paws at a Time

Join us for Colorado Gives Day, our biggest fundraising event of the year! This statewide initiative is a powerful day of giving for nonprofits across Colorado, and it’s a critical opportunity for us to raise the funds necessary to continue our mission. Every donation made between now and December 10th counts towards our goal and helps us qualify for additional matching grants and incentive funds, making your contributions go even further.

Your support on Colorado Gives Day allows us to save more lives, provide medical care, and ensure each animal finds a loving home.

This Year Alone, Thanks to Donors Like You, We Have:

• Rescued nearly 1,000 animals from shelters and the streets.
• Provided medical treatment for hundreds of cases, from routine spay/neuters to complex, life-saving surgeries.
• Matched countless animals with forever families, bringing joy to homes across our Colorado communities.

A Tale of Survival and Hope: Jubilee’s Journey

Meet Jubilee, a beautiful English Bulldog who came to us after wandering the streets, pregnant and in desperate need of care. She had endured unimaginable hardship, and it was clear upon arrival that she needed immediate medical attention. Jubilee underwent an emergency c-section to save her life and deliver her eight puppies safely. While she took time to heal, our dedicated team bottle-fed her puppies around the clock, giving them the best possible start in life and giving Jubilee a chance at a new beginning.

Jubilee’s story is just one of many similar cases we’ve encountered this year. From emergency surgeries to unexpected litters, we’re continually stepping up to provide life-saving care for animals in need. Every one of these animals deserves a chance to escape the streets and find a loving home where they can truly thrive.

Why We’re Committed to Spay/Neuter

We’re passionate about ensuring every animal that comes through our doors is spayed or neutered before adoption. It’s not just about helping them find homes—it’s about breaking the cycle of pet homelessness. By prioritizing spay/neuter, we’re doing our part to reduce future generations of homeless animals, helping to create a better future for all.

Your Donation Makes an Impact

Every dollar you give goes directly to animals in need, covering essential costs like medical care, daily food, and safe shelter. Just $5 can feed a pet for a day at our facility, while larger donations fund surgeries, treatment, and transportation.

Boarding With a Purpose

In addition to donations, we offer boarding services to help fund our rescue. Coloradans can board their pets with us, where they’ll receive the same dedicated care from our compassionate team. Every boarding fee goes directly into our operations, helping cover medical, animal care, and operational costs—so you can meet a need while supporting animals in need.

Our Current Challenges: Rising Costs and Greater Need

Animal rescue is rewarding, but it’s not without challenges. Rising costs for medical care, pet essentials, and the growing influx of animals have placed a strain on our resources. This year alone, our projected medical expenses exceed $140,000. Your support is more critical than ever to help us meet these demands.

What This Means for Colorado

At 4 Paws 4 Life, our mission is deeply rooted in the Colorado community. Colorado is known for its love of animals, and with the support of compassionate Coloradans, we’re able to extend this love further—rescuing animals both within Colorado and from other states where shelters are overcrowded and euthanasia rates are high.

Every animal we rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome not only finds a safe haven but also brings joy to families throughout Colorado. By donating on Colorado Gives Day, you’re joining a powerful movement that invests in the welfare of animals and strengthens our community. Together, we’re making Colorado a place where every animal has a chance to thrive.
