About NALB

Hi, I'm Brittanie Dickson, founder and president of No Animal Left Behind Search & Rescue. Animals have always been at the center of my life. In 2015, I founded Mountain Paws & Claws Pet Services, where I've had the privilege of caring for hundreds of pets and building lasting relationships with families throughout our mountain communities.

In 2018, I became involved in helping search for missing and displaced animals. What started as volunteering quickly became a calling. From the very beginning, my mom has been by my side through every challenge and every success — hanging flyers, checking trail cameras, searching late into the night. For years, every search and every happy reunion was truly a two-person effort.

In 2024, a heartbreaking case involving two Boxers that had been used as bait dogs and dumped in Gilpin County brought our community together in a way I had never experienced. Neighbors, volunteers, businesses, and complete strangers stepped up, united by one goal. That case became the turning point. It showed me this mission was bigger than just my mom and me — and from that experience, No Animal Left Behind Search & Rescue was born.
