ADOPT YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND
Join us for a day of spooktacular fun at our Run Fur Fun 5k on Saturday, October 24, 2026! Our Run Fur Fun 5k starts and ends at Odell Brewing Company in Fort Collins. Don't forget to wear a costume for the costume contest, enjoy the eclectic tunes of The Sugar Britches, and have lots of fun with fellow animal and beer-loving racers. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome to join in on the fun as well!
All proceeds from this race benefit Animal Friends Alliance and the thousands of cats and dogs we help each year.
What Drives Us
Our Mission
To provide comprehensive companion animal resources, services, and education to the community to prevent homelessness and promote the human-animal bond.
Our Vision
All companion animals experience a healthy home where they are wanted, cared for, and loved.
co-founder & executive director
Community pet resources
We believe that the best home for an animal is the loving home they’re already in. We offer services to help keep pets with the families who love them, including:
Spay/Neuter Clinic – helps local pet owners access basic preventative health care for their companions
Kibble Supply Pet Food Pantry – fills the gap for pet owners facing financial insecurity
Prevent a Litter Plus program (PAL+) – provides financial assistance for under-resourced pet owners to get their furry friends spayed/neutered and vaccinated
Community Cat Program – assists the population of stray and feral cats in Larimer and Weld counties that are in desperate need of our help
Behavior Resources – helps educate pet owners and keep their animals in loving homes
End of Life Services - Animal Friends Alliance understands, respects, and supports all families facing challenging euthanasia decisions.
compassion expansion project
The Compassion Expansion Project: Unleashing Care celebrates our shared belief that every animal deserves timely, compassionate veterinary care, and that the people who love them deserve support along the way.
It recognizes that when families have access to affordable, high-quality care, pets stay healthier, homes stay together, and entire communities are stronger. By expanding veterinary services, we are removing barriers to end this crisis.
This project will ensure Animal Friends Alliance is ready to care for more animals and support more families, not just today, but for years and decades to come.
