Tails of Two Cities Sanctuary

Overview

Tails of Two Cities Sanctuary is a U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing and caring for unwanted and discarded animals. It provides these animals with high-quality food and medical care, allowing them to live out their natural lives.

Mission

The sanctuary's mission focuses on providing a safe haven for animals needing assistance, ensuring they receive the necessary care to lead healthy lives. This includes providing appropriate living conditions, nutrition, and medical attention as needed[3][4].

Activities

Located in Nederland, Colorado, the sanctuary is home to a diverse range of animals. These include dogs, cats, pigs, yaks, horses, donkeys, and goats. The sanctuary's operations involve rescuing animals, some of which are special needs or abandoned, and integrating them into a welcoming environment where they can thrive alongside other rescued animals[1][3].

Community Support

The sanctuary benefits from community support, with many residents volunteering their time to help with the care of the animals. Fundraising efforts are also crucial, with events like Colorado Gives Day playing a significant role in securing resources needed for ongoing animal care[3].

Founder's Vision

The sanctuary's founder, Jess Osborne, is inspired by a philosophy of radical love and acceptance, which she attributes to her past experiences with beloved pets like Dublin, a Great Dane-lab mix who exemplified warmth and inclusiveness towards all new animals. This culture of acceptance and love is central to the sanctuary's environment[1].
