Pets come into our lives and touch our hearts. Sometimes they change us forever.
For Sybil Miller, that pet was Boris – a Bernese mountain dog who would have continued to swelter under Florida’s sun if Sybil hadn’t flown from Colorado to rescue him. Sybil had been looking for a Bernese but couldn’t find one in a Colorado shelter; the breed was so popular there, no one had one available. When she contacted the Florida shelter, they were thrilled that Boris had finally found a loving home and could be the mountain dog he was meant to be.
The experience taught Sybil that certain dogs that are in high demand in Colorado mountain communities, such as Labradors, Newfoundlands, Huskies, and Heelers are often considered unadoptable in other states. With the help of a group of dedicated volunteers, Sybil decided to start a local rescue dedicated to finding homes for these types of dogs. And so Mountain Pet Rescue was born.
We look forward to helping you find the perfect family member to join your loving home!

With 11 days left in October we are hoping that you can help us make this the best National Adopt-a-Dog Month by helping this handsome young man find his forever home! Crockett is approx 55 lbs and 2 yrs old. He will be celebrating his 3rd birthday in December and he'd love to celebrate it with his forever person! While Crockett is shy when meeting new people, once he knows he can trust you he has the best qualities to offer! Crockett is very smart. He looks to his person for direction, he has excellent recall, loves to go for car rides, walking/hiking, and playing with his favorite dog pals. Crockett loves to be near his people, but respects your personal space. Crockett will do well with another dog in his home who likes to play, but is also happy to just hang out.

Any Husky lovers out there? Leto has a sad story… spending most of her early life on a chain, she had multiple litters of puppies before the town judge ordered that both she and the male dog at her home and their puppies be euthanized because they got excited and jumped up on children who came to greet them in their yard. One of our very caring and compassionate partner vets in Oklahoma stepped in to save them all! The dad and one of the puppies have been rehomed, and now it is Leto’s turn. Leto is very sweet and depressed with out her canine boyfriend. She loves to go for walks and car rides, and has done well with other dogs, cats, and older children. If interested in speaking with Leto’s foster mom in Oklahoma, please apply at mountainpetrescue.org
We collaborate with other animal welfare organizations to help find good homes for pets in need – no matter where the pet is located or what organization it is with.
We support our volunteers by showing them the respect, professionalism and responsiveness that they deserve, so that they find volunteering with Mountain Pet Rescue to be a valuable, rewarding, and enjoyable experience.
We provide basic education and training to the general public and to those who foster and/or adopt, so that our pets receive proper care in their new homes and lessen the need for rescue. Education and training topics include basic behavioral skills for pets and their owners, basic first aid and the importance of spay and neutering.
We have developed a system that is informative, timely and organized. We routinely track pet status’, communicate with the public and volunteers, and respond to questions and/or concerns within 24 hours to ensure a successful experience in pet ownership, education and fostering.
