Our Team Story
The Green Machine is comprised mainly of Dumb Friends League volunteers, friends, and family. Named for the green shirts worn by League volunteers, the volunteer members of this team have given countless hours of hard work and compassion to the animals that come through the Dumb Friends League's shelters.
From hamsters to horses, you won't find a more dedicated group of people. Please consider making a donation to our Furry Scurry team in honor of our wonderful volunteers but also because every dollar raised helps place healthy and safe cats, dogs, horses, and small mammals, provide vaccine clinics across the Denver Metro Area, and reach children and adults through Humane Education programs.
Thank you for your support!
