Adopt a Unknown breed in Colorado

Unknown breed mixes are a wonderful slice of rescue dogs — DNA isn't destiny, and many of the best family companions defy easy labeling. Each is a unique blend of traits, often hardier than purebreds. What matters most is meeting the individual dog.

Colorado's rescue dog community is active and well-supported, particularly around Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins. Many Colorado rescues transport dogs from overcrowded shelters in nearby states. A rescued Colorado dog often comes from an active, well-funded organization.
