How We UseYour Donations
Together, We Make Second Chances Possible
Every donation helps build a brighter future for dogs in need. With your help, we’re creating the resources, space, and care needed to give every dog a true second chance, from medical treatment and behavioral training to daily enrichment and a cozy bed.
Your generosity fuels For the Love of Dogs and keeps our mission moving forward. Whether you give once, give monthly, or give creatively, every contribution brings us closer to a fully built, fully loving home for our pups in Northern Colorado.
During our initial funding phase, 95% of our donations will go to complete the work that is required by the county, and the Pet Animal Care Facilities Act to finish the shelter and to be compliant. We know that with your help and God’s that we collectively can make this happen.
Once that is complete, we will use your funds in the following areas:

Animal Care & Training

Financial Donations
Your financial donation goes straight to the heart of our mission: providing food, medical care, shelter, and training for every dog in our program.
You can make a one-time gift or become a monthly Mile High Hero, joining a circle of compassionate donors who keep our shelter running strong all year long.
Every dollar raised through our Second Chance Fund helps turn rescue into recovery, and hope into wagging tails.

In‑Kind Gifts
Supplies are essential to keeping tails wagging! From leashes and treats to cleaning products and bedding, in‑kind gifts help us redirect funds toward training, enrichment, and veterinary care.
If you prefer to give tangible support, check out our Wish List for items our pups need most, or contact us to drop off new or gently used supplies.
Every item donated is one more step toward comfort, health, and happiness for the dogs we serve.
Stocks, Securities & Planned Giving
Make your investment go further by donating appreciated stocks or securities. This kind of contribution not only strengthens our long‑term foundation but can also offer you potential tax benefits.
We also welcome those wishing to create lasting impact through legacy or planned giving, helping ensure our mission thrives for generations of dogs and families to come.
Your smart giving today builds second chances for tomorrow.
Cryptocurrency Donations
Modern love meets modern giving! If you hold cryptocurrency, consider donating a portion of it to support our shelter’s programs. Crypto donations are secure, convenient, and often come with tax advantages for you as a donor.
These forward‑thinking contributions help us innovate, expand, and create an even stronger foundation of care for every dog who enters our doors.
Even digital gifts can make tails wag in the real world.
Every Gift Has a Story
Every gift that comes through our doors carries more than generosity. It carries a story of hope. Some gifts are given in memory of a beloved pet, others in celebration of new beginnings, and some simply because someone believes that love, compassion, and second chances still change the world. However it begins, each donation becomes part of a much larger story. One written in wagging tails, happy faces, and lives forever changed.
Your gifts turn concrete and lumber into safe shelter, supplies into comfort, and training sessions into trust regained. A simple contribution might fund a vaccination that keeps a dog healthy, provide food for a month, or give a frightened pup the time and patience they need to learn that people can be kind again. Every act of kindness stacks up to create a foundation of healing that our dogs can stand on, and a home they can grow into.
When you give to our Second Chance Fund, you’re not just donating. You’re joining a movement that’s building something real and lasting right here in our community. Together, we’re proving that generosity saves lives and transforms them. So thank you, truly, for believing in our mission, for believing in second chances, and for helping dogs across Colorado rise to new heights of love and belonging.
