TELLER COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) – The Teller County Regional Animal Shelter (TCRAS) is hosting its first ever “Vets vs Pets” fundraising hockey tournament between veterans from the Colorado Warriors hockey team and and community members representing TCRAS.
TCRAS said Kentucky, one of the puppies who joined KRDO13 Friday morning, was adopted early that same afternoon. Photo courtesy TCRAS.
The tournament is at the Ed Robson Arena at Colorado College. The event lasts from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. TCRAS will have some of their adoptable animals at the game. It’s part of their “Pucks for Paws” initiative.
“How could I not root for the pets? So I think we have a really good chance, and it helps that I’ll be running the scoreboard!” TCRAS marketing coordinator Kathleen Ruyak said.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under. All profits go to the shelter.
The shelter has all of its dogs and cats up for adoption on its website, including Roadie and Kentucky, who were special guests on KRDO13 this morning!
