Spring has sprung, and that means kittens and puppies. While they are adorable, they are a lot of work. Want to know how you can help? We need assistance with cat shifts, foster homes for neonate bottle fed kittens, and as always, foster homes for dogs.

To sign up to start volunteering, email info@lifeisbetterrescue.org. If you don't have time to volunteer, we can always use donations. As always, all gifts are tax deductible.

Coffee lovers unite! The team at Life is Better Rescue is all fueled up and pumped to share that we've officially joined the Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co. Grounds Crew. Grounds & Hounds offers premium coffee blends and canine-inspired merchandise that gives back to rescues like ours with each purchase.

As a special treat for our supporters, you can head to the Grounds & Hounds website and use the code LifeIsBetter for 15% off your purchase. By entering our code, Life is Better Rescue will receive 10% on all new and future orders!

Go forth and caffeinate!

Congrats to Denver for Repealing its Breed Ban Legislation!

We are so happy and thrilled to announce that Denver citizens have finally overturned one of the strictest breed bans in the country, and now pit bulls and terrier types are no longer illegal within city limits.

This means you will likely see an increase in the number of pits/pit mixes we take in as our fostering availability just greatly increased.

What it means for you: if you are looking at a pit or pit mix to adopt from us, we will still need to confirm that you do not having housing or HOA restrictions on the ban. Please have that information readily available when you submit your application. Although Denver will allow these dogs, it does not mean that every apartment complex or insurance carrier will be so generous, and we want what is best for everyone.

Additionally, if you have experience with the breed, please include that information in your application.

Again, congrats to Denver on this historical event!

It takes a village, and we are so proud and humble to be supported by ours. I and Love and You is a Boulder based pet food company that uses wholesome ingredients to keep pets well fed. When they heard about our attempts to keep Denver Animal Shelter and other municipal shelters free of animals of all ages, they stepped up and donated more than a pallet of their food to help us send home with fosters. Here, you can see one of the Denver shelter rescues, DeeDee, is ready for her dinner (and that she loves being fed ILY).

In times of crisis, we look for the helpers. This great company is one of our helpers, and we would encourage you to check out their awesome line of pet food and treats, and by helping support them, you also help support us!

Thanks to everyone as we work together.
