True Companions Animal Shelter & Clinic Mission and Model:
To shelter, care for and find homes for pets in our community, and welcome into our care even those pets with the most critical need. We do this while working to forward the No Kill movement through community, advocacy, and by maximizing programs that strengthen this mission.
True Companions is a No Kill shelter, working to save, provide care for and ultimately rehome all healthy and treatable pets that come into our care. Euthanasia is only a consideration should an animal be deemed irremediably suffering and not treatable, by a licensed veterinarian.

Location: We will be at Meow Manor / Admin building at 958 Inca Street. Denver, Colorado 80204.
Unleashing the Power of Knowledge: The Ultimate K9 Emergency Care Course:
Let’s face it: Our dogs are more than just pets – they’re family members almost equivalent to our blood ties. As paw parents, wouldn’t you wish to possess all the necessary skills to handle any emergency that might occur to your beloved canine companion? Brace yourselves as we embark on a deep dive into an enlightening one-day course designed specifically for this purpose. This course isn’t merely a lecture—it’s an immersive experience where knowledge meets practicality. The class involves demonstrations and hands-on skills practice taught by seasoned paramedics, offering the perfect blend of theory and real-world application. The intent is to fortify your understanding of K9 first-aid, bolstering your confidence to tackle any unexpected incidents involving your dog. Every participant will receive a K9 First-aid and CPR wallet certification as a bonus! Lifetime certificates are also available!
Curriculum Overview
Our K9 First Aid and CPR course spans a total of 6.5 hours. This duration is carefully planned to ensure you have ample time to absorb the information, ask questions, and practice hands-on skills. We believe in the importance of understanding over rushing; hence, we’ve allocated enough time for each participant to grasp the concepts thoroughly. Our comprehensive class content covers over 30 critical first-aid topics. It’s not all talk, either! We use high-quality K9 CPR manikins for you to perform ‘mouth-to-snout’ breathing and compressions, simulating real-life emergencies. One of the highlights of our curriculum includes special training on handling choking emergencies—since choking has been the leading cause of trauma death in dogs since 2017.
Why Should You Enroll?
The advantages of attending this carefully crafted course abound. It equips you with invaluable skills to differentiate life and death for your furry friend. The ASPCA states that one in four dogs would have a dramatically better outcome if only one first-aid technique were applied. It’s not just about the practical skills, though. The course also helps build confidence that you’ll be able to provide necessary care in any situation your dog might face. That certainty alone can be priceless.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this K9 First-aid and CPR course is not just a ‘can’; it’s a ‘must’ for every dog owner. The motto here is clear: Equip yourself with the skills and knowledge today for peace of mind tomorrow. After all, your dog’s life may depend on it. Emergencies don’t come announced. Emergencies strike when we least expect them. But with adequate knowledge and practice, you can never be caught off-guard. You’ll have the confidence and ability to give your furry friend a fighting chance at a favorable outcome. So why wait? Join the K9 First-aid Course today – because nothing beats the power of preparedness.
