Boulder County Lost Pet Rescue is a team of volunteers dedicated to assisting people to find their lost furry family members.

Our volunteers range from those just starting out to some with up to 30 years of experience and extensive training, but all with a love for animals. Many of us have been assisting other rescue groups or doing this on our own for years, but we came together surrounding the Marshall fire disaster to help find lost loved ones, and continue to assist with other lost pet rescues.

We often assist people without the financial means to contribute much or any to these efforts. Most of our costs have been covered by the volunteers themselves or with some donations of materials and equipment from companies and others who have been aware of our efforts.
