PAALS for Life

Animal rescue in Colorado Springs, CO

PAALS for Life is an organization of people and animals living together. Our purpose is to provide sanctuary, therapy, and comfort to the unwanted, such as the disabled, the abused, and the elderly.

It started off as a forever home for the senior animals who had nowhere to go when discarded, who otherwise would be dead sooner than their true time. Then came the difficult or impossible-to-adopt dogs and cats, even horses, mules, and donkeys who needed time either to heal and then find a new home, or time to live out their lives safely.

PAALS stands for People And Animals Living Synergistically. It is a program of The Dreampower Foundation - a (501) (c3). PAALS accommodates all in need to the best of its abilities and resources. It is funded totally by donations and is staffed entirely by volunteers. If it cannot directly respond to a challenge, it will network with whomever to solve the problem.

PAALS sole mission is to be of service to all animals despite age, needs, ability to be adopted or not.

In order to maintain a high quality of life for all the residents in The PAALS program, we are constantly in need of donations of all kinds. Monetary donations go directly to vet and medical bills, maintenance and upkeep of the animals' facilities, fencing, hay, feed, farrier and on and on. We are deeply appreciative for each and every dollar. We cannot continue our work without your generous support and help.
