From Forgotten to Forever Rescue is a PACFA-licensed, foster-based, all-breed dog and cat rescue in Colorado. Run entirely by passionate volunteers, FFTF focuses on saving pets who may have been overlooked, underserved, or at risk, giving them the time, care, and compassion they need to truly thrive.
Founded in 2015, FFTF began with a mission of transporting dogs and cats from high-kill shelters in New Mexico to safety in Colorado. Through these transport efforts, the rescue has helped dozens of partner organizations save thousands of animals from euthanasia.
In August 2018, FFTF expanded its efforts by launching its Colorado-based rescue operation. Since then, the organization has created thousands of happy families through direct adoptions and has broadened its rescue reach to include parts of Texas and underserved areas of Colorado. FFTF prioritizes making thoughtful, lasting matches between pets and the people who welcome them into their homes.
In addition to helping animals from municipal shelters, FFTF has taken in many pets after the passing of their owners and other difficult life situations. Rescue efforts have also included trapping stray dogs and litters of puppies in the Navajo Nation and the Rio Sucharas region of southern Colorado.
Because FFTF is foster-based, every animal receives individualized care in a home environment while they wait for their forever family. The rescue provides all supplies and veterinary care, but more foster homes are always needed to continue saving lives.
FFTF accepts all breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs and cats. The organization does not shy away from major medical cases and has invested thousands of dollars into saving the life of a single animal on more than one occasion.
As a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit, FFTF relies entirely on donations to continue its lifesaving work. Funds raised through this calendar contest will help support the rescue's growing medical expenses so that even more animals can receive the care they need and find the loving homes they deserve.
