About Us:

Pawsitive Restorations Animal Rescue is a 501c(3) nonprofit, foster-based, all-breed animal rescue located in S.E. Aurora, CO, and is licensed by the Colorado Department of Agriculture.  PRAR exists to rescue, rehabilitate, house and ultimately find loving, responsible, forever homes for at-risk animals. We serve not only our local communities, but all of Colorado and its surrounding states.  Although we are an all-breed animal rescue and do take animals of all ages and breeds and in all conditions, our primary focus is to save pregnant/nursing moms, high-risk, medically fragile pets, and severe neglect and abuse cases who are often the first to be scheduled for euthanasia in under-served, under-funded rural animal shelters. PRAR also works diligently to free innocent pets from the underground world of the pet trade, where these precious companion animals are treated as moneymaking commodities who are routinely denied socialization, basic medical care, and proper exercise. In addition to our concentrated rescue efforts, PRAR is routinely called to assist our community members for microchip scanning, lost/found pet guidance, track & trap services for lost pets, and we are always happy to help provide pet food and supplies to pet parents who may need a little help to keep their pets in their homes and out of our local shelters.

Through close, trusted relationships with our incredible veterinarians, we are experienced in wound management, home hospitalization, bottle/tube feeding, high-risk whelping (birth), and illness/injury recovery. We invite you to follow their stories on our website and our Facebook Page! Become a part of the P.R.A.R. Pack! We are making a difference, one precious life at a time. 💜

Our Mission

Pawsitive Restorations Animal Rescue exists to rescue, rehabilitate, and give temporary housing to at-risk animals. We provide for urgent relocation, life-saving medical care, quality nutrition, training, love and support for local and national abandoned, stray, abused, pregnant or nursing, and severely injured companion animals who are at risk for euthanasia, and to help limit the overpopulation of these animals through diligent community education and stringent spay/neuter regimens. PRAR nurses these animals back to health, socializes and evaluates them to determine the best home environment for the individual animal, then facilitates finding quality forever homes and ultimately a better life. We are the second chance that they desperately need. 💜
