Celebrate Carolyn Patch Fairbanks - Animal Rescue

Carolyn Patch Fairbanks dedicated her life to making the world a better place for animals and their humans. And she succeeded—in spite of decades of often debilitating health challenges. 

Carolyn was a remarkable woman who positively impacted thousands of lives in Estes Park and beyond by rescuing unwanted animals, connecting pets to deserving homes, fostering animal kindness through education programs, raising money through her incredible artwork, spearheading pet therapy in nursing homes, bringing joy to people who visited her menagerie of animals, and so much more.

She earned the title of Woman of the Year in Estes Park in the 1990s, was featured in the book “Legends of Estes Park” for her community impact, and made frequent appearances in the local paper and radio station. She spent virtually every day talking to people about their animals, and they were grateful for her advice.  

Your donation will help us carry on her indelible legacy by supporting the organization she had led since 1990: The Pet Association of Estes Park, a local humane society that finds homes for nearly 100 animals per year with a 98% adoption rate. 

We will be grateful for your donation. 100% of all proceeds will go towards helping animals get critical care, find homes, and live a good life.

Thank you for your love and support.
