Adopting a Dog from the Dog Rescue

Thank you for considering adopting a dog! You’ll save two dogs – the rescue you adopt and another dog by opening a spot at the shelter! San Nicola Dog Rescue is a volunteer-based PACFA licensed 501(c)-3 non-profit foundation.

We rescue dogs from Colorado and surrounding states and provide food, sheleter and medical care until we find permanent homes in Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, Vail, Greeley and other Colorado towns.

We have a physical shelter which is located on a small ranch in Eastern Colorado, about 100 miles from Denver. Because of the distance we usually bring the dog to your home to meet.

We are so grateful to our generous sponsors Dr. Mohapp, Shannon, Julie and all the wonderful staff of

Mandalay Animal Hospital,

Dr. Miller with

Front Range Mobile Surgical Specialists,

Danah, Lena and everyone else who helped the rescue!

rehabilitating dogs with behavioral problems, fear or hostility towards people
providing food and shelter for hard to place rescue dogs until a well-matched home can be found
providing necessary medical care and spaying/neutering
re-homing as many rescue dogs as possible in Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, Longmont, Westminster, Arvada, Aurora, Louisville, Highlands Ranch and other areas closer to Denver
cooperating with the other rescue organizations on providing foster care, temporary housing for the rescue dogs in transit, help with adoption events, etc.
