Our Mission: Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.
The League of Women Voters has fought since 1920 to improve our systems of government and impact public policies through citizen education and advocacy. The League is a nonpartisan grassroots organization, working at the national, state and local levels.
League of Women Voters of the Pikes Peak Region (LWVPPR) has been active since 1937.
LWVPPR members actively promote voter and civic education for the public and themselves. You can find League volunteers registering voters in high schools and naturalization ceremonies, discussing campaign finance in public forums and presenting the pros and cons of the issues on your election ballot.
The League of Women Voters is strictly nonpartisan; it neither supports nor opposes candidates for office at any level of government. At the same time, the League is wholeheartedly political and works to influence policy through advocacy. It is the original grassroots citizen network, directed by the consensus of its members nationwide. Locally, LWVPPR has taken positions on parks, water quality and health care, among other topics.
The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles.
Voters Service/Citizen Education: we present unbiased nonpartisan information about elections, the voting process, and issues.
Action/Advocacy: after study we establish positions on issues, and we use our positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.

2 Blondes All Breed Rescue is a 501 c3 non-profit dog rescue, located in the Denver metro area. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs from overpopulated, high-kill shelters. By working with committed volunteers, accredited veterinarians, trainers, boarding facilities, and shelters we are trying to achieve a No-Kill Nation by placing dogs in their forever homes.
2 Blondes All Breed Rescue has been in operation since 2015, during which time we have rescued, fostered, and adopted over 12,000 animals into loving homes. We generally serve the Metropolitan areas of Denver, Colorado Springs, and Ft. Collins. Due to our reliance on established veterinary relationships and volunteer bases, we do not adopt dogs or puppies outside of these general service areas, nor do we facilitate out-of-state adoptions.
As a non-breed-specific rescue, we take in a variety of purebred and mixed breed dogs. As the lineage of most rescue dogs is generally unknown, breed designations are made utilizing veterinary recommendations. Adopters that have specific breed requirements should be aware that such designations cannot be certified as true or accurate. Additionally, many of the dogs we take in have special medical needs (broken bones, heartworm disease, skin issues, etc.) and are generally treated at the expense of the rescue prior to adoption. Occasionally, dogs with special medical needs may require continuation of treatment by a prospective adopter; such items will be fully disclosed and discussed with the adopter, prior to adoption.
2 Blondes All Breed Rescue welcomes your support of our continued efforts to rescue, foster, care for and adopt at-risk animals.
