The Heart of Leo - Colorado Chapter

Animal rescue in Howard, CO

This rescue started almost 15 years ago as a horse rescue...when we realized how bad the over population issue was, and perfectly good dogs were being euthanized, we decided we needed to step in and try to help. We are a small organization, and the more fosters and permanent homes we can find, the more we will be able to save! Adopt don't buy!

Rescue FAQs

We have rescued dogs from death row. Meaning we save them from being euthanized at the kill shelters, and give them more time to find their forever homes. We specialize in medium to large dogs, but have some small dogs too....

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fee is $50/adult dog, or $80 for 2 dogs, as we have some that are very comfortable with each other, and would be happy to stay together. Puppies are $100 or $160 for 2. Horses are $200, $350 for 2. Other animals are on pet per pet basis. Our adoption process includes interview with the potential forever home, and an application. Adopting home will agree to wellness home check-ups, as it is very important that these precious souls find the right fit. If you don't have the adoption donation, talk to us about working out a plan, show your commitment!!
