Welcome to my personal fundraising page! 

Hello! I'm Nicole Adkins, and I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a new member of the Animal Friends Alliance team, starting on August 12th as the Corporate Giving Administrator. My role allows me to meet wonderful people, build meaningful relationships, and collaborate on projects that make a real difference for animals and their owners in our community.

Before joining Animal Friends Alliance, I spent the last 12 years in education as a first-grade teacher and early elementary literacy specialist. Helping others has always been my passion, and I'm excited to extend that passion to support animals in need. I've always been a huge animal lover and knew that one day I wanted to work in a way that could give a voice to those who can't always speak for themselves.

When I'm not working, I'm spending time with my amazing husband and our two fur babies, Lincoln Loki and Margaret (Maggie) Thatcher. We love to take them on hikes and explore new places together. Check out a few pictures of our adventures below!

Reminiscing on 18 amazing years of love at Animal Friends Alliance! 

Together, we can reach our goal of raising $175,000 for animals in need. Animal Friends Alliance was founded in 2006 as Fort Collins Cat Rescue & Spay/Neuter Clinic and Animal House Rescue and Grooming. In 2020, the two organizations merged to form Animal Friends Alliance - an adoption-guarantee shelter and subsidized spay & neuter clinic. Since 2006, we have adopted out over 41,000 dogs and cats to loving homes, spayed and neutered over 100,000 dogs and cats between our clinic and shelter, and helped over 5,400 community cats through our Community Cat Program and Adoptions Program.

Donate during our Saving Pets Challenge to help us continue our life-saving work in Northern Colorado and beyond. Here's to 18 – and many more – years of love!
