Upcoming Events
Saturday, July 9th – 4pm to 7pm (Food & the Flea)
From calves, lambs, piglets, goat babies and puppies, we’ve taken on so many abandoned special needs animals, babies and adults alike, and we could sure use some help getting everyone some love as well as help fundraise for their huge vet bills and care costs. And all of our long time resident rescues could use some cuddles, too!
You’ll have access to pens and pastures to meet all the different species who call Broken Shovels their forever home, with their caretakers nearby to tell you all about them.
Come out and have the greatest day making meaningful connection with some of the sweetest animals in Colorado, rescued from neglect, hoarding, abandonment and slaughter. A great time for all ages!
Each guest must have a ticket for an event, regardless of age.
