We are a private foster network of foster homes and farms. We and our animals and volunteers are "GUESTS" at these farms. Please do NOT "just drop by." Everyone must sign liability release forms, without exception. We may have several untrained, wild, scared, or injured horses and animals on the property. We welcome your visit, volunteer service, and tours with an appointment. Colorado - Warning - Under Colorado Law, an equine professional is not liable for the injury to or the death of a participant in equine activities resulting from the inherent risks of equine activities, pursuant to section 13-21-119, Colorado Revised Statutes. About us...

We are an animal rescue and rehab farm that has been helping animals since 1994. In 2002, we merged with Charlotte & Arthur Romero Wildlife Sanctuary a 501(c)3 non-profit since 1999. When Mrs. Romero passed away and we were focusing more on domestic animals, we changed to Southern CO Animal Rescue with the DBAs of Black Forest Animal Sanctuary (for animals in rehab and residence) and Paws n Hooves for our foster network of adoptable animals. We have rescued hundreds of horses, livestock, dogs, cats and small animals.

We assist in education, disaster response, and work with many youth and volunteer groups. With your support, we will continue to make a difference in the lives of animals. We provide rescue operations, adoption programs, foster and sponsorship programs, student/horse education program, and local and national rescue efforts. We work with local schools, scouts, and community corrections programs.
