Colorado Scenthound and Humane Colorado Unite for Adopted Dogs

In a remarkable initiative to support dog adoption in Colorado, all locations of Colorado Scenthound have collaborated with Humane Colorado, formerly known as the Dumb Friends League, to launch the Clean Start program. This innovative program is designed to ensure that every dog adopted from Humane Colorado receives complimentary Basic Hygiene services at any participating Scenthound location throughout the state.

What is the Clean Start Program?

The Clean Start program provides essential basic hygiene services, which include a bath, ear cleaning, nail trimming, and teeth brushing. These services are critical in promoting the overall health and wellness of adopted dogs. Upon receiving an adoption, each dog will be provided with a voucher to redeem these services, fostering a healthy and clean start as they transition into their forever homes.

Christy Boswell, a Multi-unit Franchise Partner at Scenthound, expressed the essence of this partnership stating, "We believe every dog deserves to begin their new chapter clean, cared for, and loved. This partnership with Humane Colorado is a natural extension of our mission to keep dogs healthy while supporting the incredible work of those helping animals in need."

This partnership seeks not only to enhance the standard of care given to dogs upon adoption but also aims to strengthen the bond between pets and their new families. With the procedure being cost-free to new pet parents, it lowers the barriers to important hygiene care right after adoption, making the transition smoother and the experience more enjoyable for everyone involved.

A Shared Commitment to Animal Wellness

The cornerstone of this collaboration is the mutual dedication to animal wellness. Scenthound’s belief is rooted in the idea that they enrich the connection between people and their dogs. The Clean Start program reflects this philosophy, emphasizing the importance of accessible care and supporting new pet owners.

Both entities acknowledge that adopting a pet is just the first step in a long journey. The Clean Start program aims to nurture that relationship from day one, providing services focused on comfort, trust, and health.

"We see this as more than just a grooming service. It’s a bridge between shelter life and home life," added Hanna Supanich-Winter, Corporate Partnership Manager at Humane Colorado. "When a dog feels physically better, they adjust emotionally and socially quicker, too. It’s a small gesture that can make a big difference."
