Humane Colorado

At the shelter, there are close to 1000 animals and during my short volunteer time there, I have cleaned kennels and washed dishes. You can not imagine how many bowls need washing with every cat and dog needing two bowls (food & water). While no one is complaining about washing bowls by hand everyday, The Dumb Friends is required to sterilize each bowl using a Hot Water Sanitizing machine. The Dumb Friends League has  only ONE of these Hot Water Sanitizing machines and it has become a big bottle neck to getting those bowls washed and prepared for the next meal. The machine can only hold so many at a time.

This is where you will hopefully come in. I'd like to secure a second  machine for them. The cost is $4,471.00. Would you be willing to help fund the cost of the machine and ensure these puppies and kitttys are regularly fed as they await their forever homes. I hope you'll find this a great was to make a difference and give back to the community of Denver where you live. These animals have the bestt hearts and I hope you will open yours today too.

In loving memory of Jana Anderson, I am starting this fundraiser to support Humane Colorado. Their mission to end pet homelessness and animal suffering resonates deeply with me, as Jana was a passionate animal lover who believed in giving a voice to the voiceless. By contributing to this campaign, we can collectively honor their memory while making a lasting impact on countless animals in need.

Your generous donations will help Humane Colorado in their vital work:

Let’s come together to celebrate a life dedicated to compassion and kindness. Please consider donating today to help continue this important mission.

Jessica was a special, compassionate soul who lived her spirited life to the fullest.

She loved Hip-Hop, Body Art, studying the Bhagavad Gita and had an obsession with VHS movie collections. Jessica had a unique and keen sense of fashion; bringing the fedora back with style. She was a gifted artist in all mediums. Jessica's most recent passion was making jewelry for her business, Fates Creations.

Jessica believed that everyone deserved second chances in life as she was very blessed and grateful to have had many herself.

Jessica left a legacy of selfless acts of kindness and support for that cross section of society with whom most of us never interact. She volunteered countless hours at the Harm Reduction Action Center in Denver, providing clean needles to drug users to prevent the spread of HIV and other diseases while also disseminating various community resources. Jessica was excited to start a new volunteer position in the arts & crafts department at the Franklin Park Convalescence Home.

Jessica created and was the Online Media Manager/Events Planner for "Pay It Forward & Save a Soul Fundraising."

Jessica also spent time and her own resources feeding homeless people, providing shelter to anyone who needed a temporary home and befriending many people who simply had no one else in their life. She was an outspoken advocate against any form of discrimination.

Jessica was fiercely protective of her "Mama Dukes."

As anyone who truly knew her, Jessica was an extremely loyal and devoted friend. She had many "brothers" and "sisters" as part of her extended family in Denver and Jersey.

Jessica had a life-long love of all God's critters, except squirrels! She volunteered to support various animal-related fund raisers and also trained dogs to be used as companions for the blind. Jessica had two rescue companion witties, Trouble Bubble and Gilly, who now reside with their "grandparents" and sister Gabby.

Let us create another legacy in Jessica's honor to carry on her acts of love and devotion to improving the lives of the animal kingdom.

I'm excited to share that I'll be partnering with the Humane Colorado, formerly known as Dumb Friends League, in an effort to make a positive impact in our community. My goal is to help end pet homelessness and alleviate animal suffering. I invite you to join me in supporting this noble cause. Together we can make a real difference.
