Furry Friends: Ask for a "YES" vote on Colorado State Senate Bill 9

“Wag’N” Donates pet masks

Carol Monaco, with Marketwise Insights, Inc., recently nominated Greater Brighton Fire to receive pet oxygen masks through a company called Wag’N. Brighton Fire was selected and Wag’N has donated pet O2 masks through a program called “O2 Fur Life” that provides the necessary equipment for pet rescue breathing. Greater Brighton Fire is one of only 14 fire departments in the State who have received pet O2 masks through this program. Five kits were donated through the program, which provides for one set of three masks for each of our five fire stations. Each kit contains three masks of different sizes for various size pets. The kits have been placed on the fire engines and crews have been trained in using the masks. Thank you to Carol and Wag’N for the generous donation.

The Colorado State Senate is considering a bill to help animal care and control agencies as they work to get animals in abuse and neglect cases into new homes faster.

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted in favor of SB-9 and the bill is now headed to the Senate floor. Please ask your senator for a "yes" vote on SB-9 today.

If passed, SB-9 will:

* Minimize stress on animals by limiting time between seizure and decision making
* Streamline the impound process, saving money for cities, counties, and humane societies
* Clearly identify impound hearings as criminal in nature to reflect the seriousness of the proceedings
* Give animal owners the opportunity to be heard before trial, ensuring a fair process

Thank you for all you do for the animals. Take Action Click Here
