Denver Emergency Pet Assist is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) serving Denver and the surrounding communities. The mission of the organization is to provide short-term, in-home care for the pets of people in crisis.When someone goes to the hospital, jail or heaven there may not be anyone else in that persons family, neighborhood or network of friends to care for their pet. If authorities are involved then the pet may wind up being impounded at the county shelter. Other times the pet may be overlooked and neglected or an individual would refuse to be hospitalized since there is no one else able to care for their pet.
