Volunteering Information
A Letter from our Volunteer Coordinator
Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a volunteer with Colorado Puppy Rescue. We hope that you will enjoy your time helping our puppies in need and maybe get a few puppy licks along the way.
 
All of CPR's rescued puppies come from shelters
in rural areas. These puppies may have been turned
into the shelters by the owners or simply been left
on the side of the road and picked up by shelter workers. Some come with stories but most do not. Shelters in rural areas can not handle large numbers of puppies. They may not have the funding, the facilities, the personnel or the population to adopt; so puppies in these shelters are euthanized. CPR is entirely a foster based organization. We do not own a facility to house our rescue animals. All of the puppies that come to CPR are fostered with families from day one.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you.
