Welcome.
We’re a Utah-based nonprofit pet rescue operation. We help animals and the people they love through rescue, rehabilitation, adoption, and prevention.
Here, love conquers all. We believe every animal is worth saving—which is why we take in ones typical shelters can’t help, including the babies, the seniors, the special-needs, the injured, and the abandoned. Over 35 years, Nuzzles & Co Pet Rescue and Adoption has saved over 27,000 animals.
We help the animals heal mentally, emotionally, and physically with TLC, time, and in-house veterinary care. While we’re at it, we help communities address animal homelessness through low-cost spay/neuter services, affordable veterinary help, pop-up pet food pantries, and shelter for the pets of those fleeing domestic violence.
Let’s make the world better. More compassionate. And more cuddly.
IN THE MARKET FOR A FOREVER FRIEND?
Our adoptable rescue animals are saved from underfunded shelters where they didn’t have a chance.
Now they’re ready for love.

CALLING ALL ANIMAL LOVERS:
Whether or not you have room in your home for more pets, there’s a way for you to make a difference.
Whatever you’re looking for—old or young, active or super-snuggler, kid-friendly or adventure-ready—there’s someone waiting for you.
Every gift, no matter how large or small, helps with life-saving medical care, food, shelter, and transport for the rescue animals.
Fostering is the most fun thing around. Welcome a dog or cat (or hey, a whole litter) and help them thrive till they land on their feet.
There are many ways to lend a hand, whether you’re feeding, walking, cuddling, cleaning, or helping with events.
OUR MISSION: TO END HOMELESSNESS for animals AND BRING MORE FOUR-LEGGED JOY TO the world.
Nearly 2,000 dogs and cats are still euthanized yearly in Utah simply due to shelters being overcrowded and underfunded. Nuzzles steps up and takes in the who just need a little time and TLC to thrive and find a loving home.
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Park City, Utah, we work across our entire region bringing dogs and cats to safety. Many have waited their entire lives for the world to do right by them. Now is that moment.
HOW IT WORKS
1. ANIMALS ARRIVE AT OUR RESCUE RANCH.
15 minutes outside Park City, our Ranch is where our caretaking staff and veterinary team assess each animal and give them the medical care they need. They enjoy rehabilitation, rest, and indoor-outdoor play while they prep for adoption.
2. WHEN READY,
they GO TO OUR ADOPTION CENTER.
To help the animals get in the public limelight, we feature an ongoing rotation at our Adoption Center in town. The kitties snuggle in and stay till their adoption day comes, while the dogs head back to the Ranch at night to stretch their legs.
3. LOVE STRIKES AT THE RIGHT MOMENT.
Every animal eventually has their big adoption day. And we don’t know who smiles bigger — them or us.
