PAWsitive Recovery is a very special rescue group. They foster pets for those seeking rehab for addictions and mental health issues.
When people reach the point of needing rehab, they have often already lost friends and family. Their pet is all they have left. Having to lose the pet as well is too much. With PAWsitive Recovery able to help, the person is still able to keep their pet and even visit with it while seeking treatment.

This is a real help for people trying to recover from addiction. Pets are so much a part of our lives. None of us wants to face the loss of a pet. When the pets is all you have, that loss would be unbearable. Instead of losing the pet and having that loss become part of the problem, the pet becomes part of the recovery.
I hope they are able to expand the program and expand it to other cities and maybe one day, other countries.
I am sure the problem of pets and recovery is not unique to Colorado.
