TABTO, Two Are Better Than One
Some of my best friends never say a word to me
Our Mission
Our Mission
Our goal is to raise the standard of care for our Colorado Companion animals. Project Halo has been developed by our team.
We collaborate and work with other like minded agencies and individuals for a better tomorrow for our communities and our companion animals. A voice for the voiceless. Working with our legislators, PACFA, and our community to support advocacy, education, transparency and accountability for our consumers and our companion animals. We are a compassionate group of business owners and animal lovers. We are a community of stakeholders supporting the implementation of an Educational program as outlined on the SB19-158, 2019 Sunset Review. Working on common sense approaches in canine legislation. More legislation does not equal change. Accountability equals change.In 2017-2019 73,900 puppies came into Colorado many were sick based on the states records bringing revenues of over 65 million dollars. The top 15 licensed rescues/shelters with PACFA account for 73% of the puppies that come into Colorado from other States. Colorado has some of the most amazingly gifted rescuers doing amazing work in animal welfare. Let's work for a better tomorrow in our state for our consumers and our companion animals. Colorado does not have a lemon law to protect our consumers if they adopt or purchase a puppy or dog that is sick or has behavioral issues.
RETAIL RESCUE
Retail Rescue may be defined as the practice of procuring puppies and dogs, usually for little or no cost from shelters, owner surrenders, auctions or brokers for resale. Pet stores are decreasing as retail rescuers increase. We have only 9 pet stores in Colorado. Two years ago we had 21. Retail rescues are replacing the pet store model in Colorado. They generally are selling large volumes of puppies. Puppies are big business bringing millions of dollars in revenue into Colorado. Some have no regard for the health or welfare of the puppies or the new owners. Hidden behind the halo of being a non profit and calling themselves rescues you will find people and animals suffering and complaints with PACFA , better business bureau, animal control , and our court system. The majority of our Rescues and Shelters are doing amazing work. As with any industry you will always have a few bad apples.
RESCUE
Rescue saving a dog from danger or a distressing situation. An act of freeing from freedom of suffering. Confinement of hard to place dogs in our Colorado boarding facilities for long periods of times mentally suffering is not rescue or humane. Bringing dogs from one bad situation to another is heartbreaking for everyone involved. In the rescue world there is a standard Rescuer’s Creed that, when rescuing any dog or cat from a bad situation, we are making a commitment to right the wrongs of past abuses this animal has experienced. As a community, we believe it is our job to right these wrongs and hold animal abuse perpetrators accountable. We must provide higher standards of care. If our communities knew what truly went on in some of these rescue operations, they would be shocked and horrified. Making big profits through high volumes and providing little to no care to the animals is not rescuing them.
