Colorado Animal Rescue Effort Devastated by Wildfire

May 1, 2008 : 11:03 AM
Help needed!

The Colorado Animal Rescue Effort in Ordway suffered an enormous setback last month due to a wildfire in nearby Ordway, Colorado. The animals and all humans managed to escape, but virtually all of the equipment and supplies, including the offices and shelter, have been completely destroyed.

How to help

This animal rescue effort desperately needs supplies of all kinds including:

Dog food
Crates
Igloos
Cages
Catch poles
Set-up pens
Animal traps
Garden hoses
Chain link fence and posts
Computer
Desk
Chair
Lamp
Printer
Paper
Blank CDs (RD-RW)
Floor fan
Pens, paper, notebooks
Appointment log book

Tax-deductible Paypal donations are being accepted on the
Colorado Animal Rescue Effort website.


Visitors are welcome after sunset since the daylight hours are being used to clean up after the fire. The Colorado Animal Rescue Effort, led by Dawn Scheck, can be reached at 719-267-4848.

Colorado Animal Rescue Effort is a 501c non-profit animal rescue shelter operating out of Crowley County in Southeastern Colorado. They have many dogs looking for a home, including Colby, featured in our photo. Photo provided courtesy of Dawn Scheck.
