We have adopted three wonderful dogs from Dalmatian rescue of Colorado.

A circle of humans saving dogs lives. They saved our human lives, too, when we adopted our 2 dogs from them. These people truly care about critters, and their lives are devoted to it. Even if youre not adopting, you can still donate to this organzation. 100% of funds donated go to the animals care.

This rescue needs more experienced people to place dogs in the proper homes. They lie about the dogs just to get them homed. The people who run the rescue are not trained in behavioral issues pertaining to the dogs and mis-labeled a dogs food aggression as being food motivated or label a dog, child friendly when in deed the dog is not and has not spend a significant time with children. Short visits between a dog and child that go well, does not mean the dog is child friendly. Some of these dogs have been found in horrible conditions or possibly used a bait dogs before arriving at the rescue. Some of these type of dogs need extensive rehabilitation therapy with an extremely experienced trainer. These dogs need to be trained so they can be re-homed properly. In addition, they offer help when you adopt a dog and tell you if things dont work out, you can contact them to re-home the dog, but if the dog is not the right fit, they refuse to help to take the dog back or re-home the dog and ignore you. This place should really be shut down. I believe they are in over their heads as many rescues are and just want to place dogs in homes as they dont have a place to keep them. Im sure they are trying to do the right thing by these animals but just arent knowledgeable enough on how to home them properly.I gave this rescue 1 star only because I wanted to post this review and had to give it a star.

I have adopted 2 dogs through Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado. Both dogs are such great dogs. The Rescue has answered any questions I have and they check in to see how things are going. Volunteers do reference checks, vet checks and home visits to ensure the placement is a good fit for both the dog and adopter. I am very happy with the people I have worked with through this rescue.

As a long time dog owner, we have worked with several organizations and individuals throughout the years. We found Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado 2 1/2 years ago at a dog adoption event and found our dog and a wonderful organization filled with lovely people! Since we adopted our dog from them 2 1/2 years ago we found so much love and support we opened our home to fostering and have since fostered three dogs through them. All of the dogs that we have had come to us from Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado have had different stories and challenges but we have received amazing support, training, and coaching to meet the individual needs of the dogs. Without their work in finding fosters and adopters, these poor dogs wouldnt be given a chance. Its an amazing organization with wonderful people and the cutest darn dogs who just want a new life.

We have adopted our last 3 dals from them and 1 dal wannabe. they are the absolute best! They are caring loving people who are truly concerned for the dogs they are rescuing and for the adoptive parents. They are there for the adopters for a simple question about food to much more serious issues. We have fostered for them, helped with transporting dogs and now we help out with reference checks. No dog is just adopted and forgot about! They keep in contact with the adopters and truly care about each dog that is adopted out. If your looking for a Dalmatian this group will help you find the perfect one for your family and lifestyle. They have been around over 30 and there is a reason why, they care!

Great place doing great work for a great cause.

Not sure who C Bee is, but she obviously has written about the wrong organization. Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado has been around for more than 30 years and has successfully placed hundreds of Dalmatians and Dalmatian-Wannabees in loving, long-term homes. The leadership and volunteers are well-respected in the rescue community, and many other rescue organizations work in partnership with DRC to place homeless animals in an appropriate place. I, personally, have been involved with Dalmatian Rescue for nearly 10 years, primarily transporting, but also fostering. Volunteers foster all of our dogs, many of whom have come from very scary and bad situations. Others have come from shelters where they have been picked up from the streets, dumped by previous owners, or lost from their homes. Many are perfectly healthy, but some are sick, some are injured, some have suffered unspeakable abuse, and others are starving. All go into foster care long enough for the volunteer to observe and assess the needs of each dog. Some dogs are easily adoptable and may only stay with a foster for a few days or a few weeks before they are adopted; those with more significant issues may stay with their foster parents for months or years, or maybe even forever. Our foster parents work on these issues with the help of veterinarians, trainers, and animal behaviorists. No animal is ever placed in a home where the dog is in danger or the family, including children, could be at risk. Each family wanting to adopt one of our dogs goes through an extensive application process, including checking personal references, vet references, and a home visit by one of our experienced volunteers. Just because an individual or a family is interested in a specific dog does not mean that the dog is necessarily a good fit in that family. For example, a family with toddlers is probably not a good fit for a young dog with high energy - too easy to knock the kids over while playing. Conversely, a family that hikes, swims, bikes, and generally spends a lot time outside is not a good fit for a senior dog who is winding down and just wants to be a couch potato. Our goal is to make every new home a quality, long-term placement for the dog and the family. That being said, we also stress that any dog who does not work out in his/her new home can be returned to us - in fact, our adoption contract states that a dog MUST be returned to us in the event the family must give up the dog. We provide on-going support to our new doggy parents, including personal visits to the home, recommendations on trainers, guidance on dealing with both physical and behavioral issues, and any other assistance our adopters might require. The volunteers I have worked with for nearly 10 years are a phenomenal group of people, who go to astonishing lengths to save homeless and neglected animals. I invite anyone who doubts this to contact me, and I will put you in touch with a variety of folks who have both adopted from us and who are long-term volunteers.

I started adopting Dalmatians in 2010 and shortly thereafter fostered dogs from Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado. I received training from Beth White and other team members on how to introduce the dogs, care for them, help with behavioral problems and how to screen prospective adoptees. One thing Beth stresses is always be truthful about a dog to determine if it is a good fit for the individual or family. If the dog is not a good fit, it will come back to us with more problems. Any dog that I fostered in my home that was not a good fit we moved to a different home to ensure the dog has a positive experience. I will continue working with Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado in any capacity to help rescue dogs.

My husband and I have adopted 2 dogs from Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado...a Dalmatian we named Tucker and a rescued stray Wannabe we named Taylor. Taylor was shipped up here to Alaska, but for Tucker I was able to fly to Denver to bring him back with me...Alaska Airlines, First Class, woof!Beth White drove Tucker from Fort Collins to the Denver airport to make this happen. She has taught us so much about proper nutrition, training, and so many other issues. Beth was instrumental in getting these dogs into our homes 12 years ago, and to this day, she still answers questions for me and keeps in touch to check up on things.Not sure whatever could have happened to CBee to cause her such dissatisfaction, but my experience has been far different. Our next furry kids will come from there, too.Thank you to Beth White and to all the fosters and volunteers that are helping this awesome organization find homes for our 4-legged buddies.

I have been a volunteer with Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado (DRC) for 16 years and a Board Member for 10 years. This is a role I dont take lightly and if I didnt believe in the work they do, I wont have remained involved for so long. The organization works extremely hard to save dogs from neglectful and abusive situations and place them in loving home with people who are knowledgeable about the breed. Applicants are interviewed by the director, reference checks and home visits are conducted. DRC works hard to match adopters and dogs. The director and experienced volunteers are also available to address behavioral issues that arise at any time whether it’s one month or 10 years after the dog is adopted. This organization truly cares about the welfare of the dogs they take in and the homes in which they are placed.

What an amazing group!
