About Animal Rescue of the Rockies
Animal Rescue of the Rockies (ARR) is a foster-home-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2003 that focuses on rescuing at-risk dogs and cats from overcrowded shelters, placing them in vetted foster homes, providing medical and behavioral care, and adopting them into permanent families. citeturn3view1turn1view0
In recent years ARR has published impact reporting showing substantial medical and rescue activity (examples from the 2023 impact report include rescuing hundreds of cats through coalition partners, treating dozens of medically complex cases, and sustaining a large foster network), and the organization highlights its 2024 transparency recognition. citeturn2view0turn2view1
ARR remains active in regional adoption events, transport and partner-shelter support across Colorado and neighboring areas; high-profile rescue stories in 2023 (for example, broad public interest in the “Coors Field” cat Smokey) helped raise visibility for the group and led to increased adoption inquiries. citeturn0news12turn1view0
