Dog Guardians Animal Rescue

We are an all-volunteer, 501c3, non-profit Colorado corporation.

We focus on rescuing unwanted and forgotten dogs that are facing impending euthanasia in high-kill shelters across the country.

We are 100% donation based and have no paid employees.

All our dogs live in loving foster homes until adopted.
