About MHCR

Mile High Canine Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)3, Colorado non-profit organization established in 2019. We are 100% volunteer run and foster home based.

While in foster care, our dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm tested/treated, microchipped, and vaccinated. We rescue dogs from Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico.

Hours/Location

MHCR has foster homes spread throughout the state of Colorado.

We do not have a facility and therefore operate by appointment only.
