About the Rescue
El Paso County Canine Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit dog rescue based in Colorado Springs, CO and working all along the front range of the Rocky Mountains. We work to rescue dogs from Texas, Kansas, and New Mexico that are in danger of euthanasia in high-kill shelters. After transport to Colorado, our dogs are placed in loving foster homes and are fully vetted with vaccinations and spay/neuter prior to adoption.
Our goal is to provide as many homes to as many
dogs as possible. We strive to place our animals
into their FURever homes!!
Jaime Hurd
Director & Founder
Born and raised in the Southern California, Jaime grew up dreaming about saving animals. She thought her calling was to be a veterinarian, but fate had different plans. She became a Founder & Director of 2 Nonprofit animal rescues.
She has always had compassion, and care for the welfare of animals. She opened El Paso County Canine rescue with her sister-in-law Bethany Jones (Retired). They both had the passion to save lives. Jaime is married and has 6 children and 1 beautiful grandbaby. Her family also has the same compassion, and drive to save lives. In her off time, she enjoys spending time with her family. She enjoys snowmobiling during the winter and playing in the water during the summer. On a cool afternoon riding her horses. Jaimes vision for the rescue has always been to serve animals that are neglected, and to be the loving hand that they receive.

Isabella's Legacy
Isabella was Jaime's best friend for a very short three years. During her short life, Isabella was a rescue advocate, she was always at Jaime's side during rescue events, greeting dogs as they came off the truck and providing a calm presence for the stressed, homeless dogs. She was an outgoing soul that never met a stranger, she was loving with everyone, human and canine. She made such an impact on our lives, that she became the face of El Paso County Canine Rescue and she is the dog you see on our logo.
Unfortunately, her life was cut short due to osteosarcoma. After several attempts to treat her cancer, she lost her battle just before Christmas 2018. We would love if you would make a donation to the Morris Animal Foundation in Isabella's name to find better treatments and, hopefully, a cure for this terrible disease.
Please donate in Isabella's name:
