The Animal Assistance Foundation is a small, private foundation granting funds exclusively to advance the welfare of companion animals in Colorado. The Foundation believes that animals enrich our lives and communities are happier, and more humane, when people and animals live in harmony. Established in 1975, and now a leader in supporting Colorado’s private animal shelters, municipal animal control agencies, nonprofit companion animal rescue organizations, and membership organizations for animal welfare professionals, Animal Assistance Foundation values impact, innovation, collaboration, trust, and sustainability.
