For Animal Lovers Everywhere...
On December 18, 2009, the CVMA, DAVMS, and CACVT offices literally went to the dogs and cats! The CVMF Harrison Center for Animals opened its doors for a very special project for the Colorado Pet Overpopulation Fund. Over a dozen furry, four-legged canines and felines of all shapes and sizes showed their star potential as CCT Advertising donated their time and talent to film "The Animals Are Everywhere" to shine a spotlight on pet overpopulation.
We hope you'll enjoy the video and forward it to all your email contacts, post it on your websites, and share it on your Facebook pages.
So far the Colorado Pet Overpopulation Fund has helped over 38,000 pets and raised $1.3 million. But there are still millions of pets and dollars to go. So have some fun and help us get the word out!

158,200 dogs and cats entered Colorado shelters in 2008 ... more than 38,400 were euthanized
The Pet Overpopulation Fund, a Colorado tax form checkoff, is working to save animals' lives.
What is the Pet Overpopulation Fund?
The Pet Overpopulation Fund was created by the Colorado State Legislature to curb pet overpopulation and reduce euthanasia of surplus, unwanted animals. In the 7 years since its inception, the Fund has subsidized more than 37,000 spay and neuter surgeries for dogs and cats in underserved areas of Colorado.
How can I help?
You can donate to the Pet Overpopulation Fund on your Colorado tax return. Simply enter the amount you wish to contribute on line 33 of your tax form -- no amount is too small. The State of Colorado will forward the designated amount to the Fund.
Your donation will help the Fund provide grants to community coalitions of veterinarians and animal care and control agencies in underserved areas of Colorado to perform spay and neuter surgeries. The Pet Overpopulation Fund also helps create and implement education programs that encourage Coloradans to have their pets spayed or neutered. All donations are used to benefit the animals; administrative services are provided at no cost to the Fund.
Are there other ways to donate?
You may contribute directly to the Fund at any time by sending a donation payable to the "Pet Overpopulation Fund" to:
Colorado Pet Overpopulation Fund 1805 South Bellaire Street, Suite 400 Denver, CO 80222
Your gift is tax deductible and will help save a pet's life!
