Give Every Pet a Place to Belong
A Season of Second Chances Starts With You
The holidays are a time for warmth, connection, and coming home — but for thousands of dogs and cats in Colorado, this season brings uncertainty. Shelters across the state are over capacity, understaffed, and struggling to find space for the pets who need safety the most.
That’s why No Kill Colorado launched Home for the Holidays — a statewide life-saving campaign that helps pets find loving homes, fosters, and support before the new year.
Because no animal should spend the holidays alone.
🐾 How the Campaign Works
Home for the Holidays brings together shelters, rescues, fosters, donors, and animal lovers across Colorado with one shared mission:
Move as many pets as possible into homes — temporary or forever — before December 31st.
Through this campaign, No Kill Colorado helps to:
Highlight at-risk pets waiting in shelters
Support rescues with adoption promotion and outreach
Connect families with foster or adoption opportunities
Raise funds for medical care, transport, and shelter support
Mobilize the community during the busiest and hardest time of year
Every action you take — donating, fostering, sharing a post, attending an event — helps save lives.
❤️ Why This Matters
The holidays are a high-risk time for shelter population. When kennels fill, the chance for adoption or fostering is challenging.
But when the community steps up, everything changes.
Your involvement:
Opens space for incoming animals
Gives scared or stressed pets a calm home
Helps organizations in the holiday season
Funds organizations
A foster home today could be the reason a pet lives to see the new year.
