Durward Dog Project
In 2011, the Longs Peak Scottish Irish Highland Festival launched a special program in partnership with a dedicated dog rescue organization. That first year, we proudly partnered with Life Is Better Rescue of Denver.
The success of the program was remarkable—17 dogs originally at risk of euthanasia were adopted into loving homes.
We are pleased to welcome back Life Is Better Rescue and look forward to introducing a variety of British Isles breeds available for adoption during the festival.
If you are considering adding a pet to your family, the adoption of a “Durward Dog” may be the perfect opportunity.
This program is named in honor of Dr. James Durward, whose vision created the Festival we proudly continue today.
Visit the Durward Dog Project area during the festival to meet adoptable dogs and learn more.
