Program accomplishments

  • IN 2024 BRIGHTER DAYS DOG RESCUE SAVED 240 DOGS FROM AT RISK AREAS IN THE US. WE VETTED ALL 240 DOGS MAKING SURE THEY WERE HEALTHY AND SAFE FOR HOMES HERE IN COLORADO. OUR NUMBERS IN 2024 WERE MUCH LOWER THAN PREVIOUS YEARS DUE TO THE INCREASE IN VETERINARY PRICES IN COLORADO, ACCESS TO VETERINARY CARE, AND THE DECREASED NUMBER OF FAMILIES LOOKING TO ADOPT DOGS. WE ARE HOPING TO HELP WITH THIS GROWING CRISIS AS PART OF OUR MISSION IN 2025.
