Imagine a Place for Humans and Animals in Need, Together
Our mission is to keep humans experiencing homelessness together with their
fur family by evolving pet-friendly solutions, programs, and resources.
Guiding Vision
“I am welcomed as I am, with all that I bring with me including my dog, who is giving me the love that I need right now.”
Annie and Millie
It all starts with Annie. She was a mother, a sister, daughter and a friend to people she knew for years and those she knew for a few minutes. Annie had a warm smile, a self-sacrificial spirit, and a big heart. She had compassion for humanity, especially those in need. Read More
What We Believe
Human-Animal Bond
We believe that animal companions are considered family as defined by unconditional love, loyalty and support. The human-animal bond is a mutually beneficial relationship between people and animals regardless of their situation.
Adaptability
We believe that the best work gets done when we learn and apply new information to every situation. Being open to new ideas is imperative for growth and sustainability.
Compassion
We believe that collective compassion can heal brokenness.
Partnership
We believe that the best outcomes are achieved when we collaborate and provide complimentary services and expand our work toward mutual goals.
Acceptance
We believe that all people and their companion animals, regardless of their circumstances, are worthy of having their basic needs met such as shelter, food and health care.
Advocacy
We believe that speaking on behalf of marginalized populations, working to break down barriers and create pathways, is necessary for systemic change.
Land Acknowledgement
Annie and Millie's Place operates on the land of multiple native nations. Annie and Millie's Place would like to acknowledge that this non-profit operates on the lands that were once home to the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe. Annie and Millie's Place additionally express honor to those Indigenous People who we may have excluded in this acknowledgement due to historical inaccuracy and erasure. Annie and Millie's Place recognize that these lands were the traditional birthright of these Indigenous People and that Indigenous lives and identities have been severely impacted in the wake of dispossession and displacement.
This statement will continue to evolve.
