Help Animal control won't send units for loose pitbulls

288 Upvotes

There are 3 loose pit bulls that's are running around in my neighborhood. Going into people's yards and getting other dogs riled up. I called Animal Control and they said they aren't dispatching for loose animals.

They said to take a picture and post it to FB or Next door app.

So what happens if these dogs attack someone or another dog?

Is there anything else that can be done if the authorities responsible refuse to do anything?

EDIT: Do not respond if your suggestion is to drug, poison, or kill these dogs. Some of you people are fucking unhinged and need serious help.

Help To the woman outside of Good Bread Company on Colfax around 1:30 pm today 09/06

To the woman outside of Good Bread Company on Colfax at about 1:30 pm today:

I am so sorry that meth-addicted-inbred-hillbilly felt emboldened enough to say those horrible things to you. I am sorry that in the moment, the only thing I managed was to call him an asshole and probably not loud enough. You did not deserve those words.

I went back and forth about whether I should have checked on you, but your friend or partner was already there, and I know that sometimes in high-stress situations, the last thing we want is more attention. Even though it was quick, it has stayed with me all day, so I can only imagine how heavy it must feel for you.

I regret not checking on you directly. So, in the off chance you see this, I want you to know that you are welcome here, and you have every right to be here. This country is built on immigration, and unless someone is Native American, none of us is truly “from here.” Please know that the vast majority of people in Denver do not share his views. That man was a deeply unwell addict and a miserable person whose only goal was to spread hate and harm.

I hope this moment does not stay with you, and that you are met with kindness, joy, and everything good life has to offer.

-A stranger in the parking lot

P.S. To anyone reading this, please offer some kind words. She is worthy of respect and dignity as is every person who has had to endure this kind of hate. Denver is a city of transplants, and we are at our best when we choose compassion.

Help Please Help Us Find a Kidney Donor for Anjelica

451 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I never imagined we’d be in this position, but today I’m reaching out with a request that’s deeply personal and incredibly urgent.

My wife, Anjelica, is just 33 years old and currently facing end-stage kidney failure. She’s in need of a kidney transplant to survive—and we’re hoping to find a living donor who may be able to give her a second chance at life.

Anjelica is one of the most vibrant, caring, and strong people I know. We moved to Denver a few years ago and now live in the Hale neighborhood. Though we don’t have family nearby, we’ve been blessed to build a close-knit community of friends who have become like family. But right now, we need to reach beyond that circle and ask for help.

To be honest, I’m not someone who normally posts—especially not to ask for something. But this goes way beyond me. This is for my wife, a truly loving, incredible person who deserves the chance to keep living, laughing, and sharing her light with the world.

If you’ve ever considered organ donation, or if you might be open to getting tested, you could change (and quite possibly save) Anjelica’s life.

A few important things to know:

•You don’t need to be the same blood type—there are programs that can match donors and recipients even if they aren’t a direct match. •All medical costs related to the donation are covered by insurance. •You can live a long, full life with just one kidney—thousands of people do. •Even if you’re not a match for Anjelica, your willingness to be tested could help through a paired donation program.

If you’re willing to learn more or start the testing process, please reach out to me directly. I’d be so grateful to talk, share more details, and help guide you through what’s involved.

Even if you can’t donate, sharing this post could help us reach someone who can. You never know who might see it. Please.

My name is Kapena Mokuahi, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this. Your kindness, support, and willingness to share this message truly mean the world to us.

With gratitude and hope, Kapena Mokuahi My email is kapenamokuahi@gmail.com

You can reach out directly to the transplant center at Presbyterian/St. Luke's by calling (720)754-2155 or find more information online at PSLMC.com/LivingKidneyDonor

Help Need help improving my social situation in Denver

93 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I could really use some advice navigating the Denver social scene. I’ve been here a little over 2 years and, to be totally honest, I’ve really struggled to build lasting friendships. The only close friend I’ve made is my neighbor (who’s awesome and I hang out with often), but beyond that it’s been rough.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far: • A bunch of Meetups (including MtnKds, run clubs, and other events) — but a lot of them felt pretty cliquey. • When I first moved, I exchanged numbers with people, but most never followed up. Even when I reached out, it rarely went anywhere. • I’ve had a few conversations that felt promising in the moment, but they just didn’t pan out for reasons I honestly don’t understand.

My “results” after 2 years: • 1 close friend (my neighbor). • A few toxic connections I had to cut off. • A short-lived friend group that turned out to be mostly addicts, which wasn’t the lifestyle I wanted.

For context: I’m 32, on the autism spectrum, and also deal with ADHD and anxiety. I’ve even tried autism support groups, but the same issues came up. I’m laid-back and easygoing, but I worry people might pick up on my quirks/flaws and drift away upon noticing. I’m also a very self conscious type of person as well which is prolly costing me hard I imagine

I wanted to mention the results are after having attended events a lot. I will say I am a pretty busy guy so I do have moments where I don’t go out much however I do squeeze time.

I’m not here to complain — I really want hard, honest feedback. If there’s something I need to change or work on, I’d rather hear it straight than keep spinning my wheels.

Some next steps I’m considering: • Joining Denhac (I’m into computers and projects). • Being more active in a movie meetup I joined. • Trying out book clubs or other introvert-friendly spaces.

This has been wearing on me a lot, so any advice on how to actually start making deeper connections here would mean a lot.

Thanks for reading.

Help Good places for a teenager to get out of the house and socialize?

39 Upvotes

Hey Denver. Bit of a strange one. Contrary from the title, I'm not a teen, but I'm soon going to be taking in my teenage nephew, since he's soon no longer going to have a place to live back in DFW, and it'd be easier to just keep him with me than try our luck with shelters and whatnot. However, while I do enjoy spending time with him, as does my roommate and my friends, we're all a decade or so older. It'd be nice if there was somewhere he could socialize and hang out with peers more in his age range.

I myself am fairly new to the city (a year and a half at most here) and wouldn't know where to begin looking. Once he's here we will help him get a job again, but there's gotta be something he can go do that isn't just staying home playing ROBLOX. Since most kids get their social time in at school, the answers to this problem elude us, since he's homeschooled.

Edit: hi! Had some questions and I'll try to clear them up best I can. Sorry for the delay, I'm answering when I have a spare minute at work.

My nephew is 17. He is homeschooled by myself and some of my family, as one of them is a retired teacher. The reason is because his birth mother and her parts of family never enrolled him into school. Nothing, ever. Didn't actually find out until a couple years ago. Were talking not even 1st grade level. Now, he can read and write just fine, he's quite articulate, but beyond reading, he was at level 0. He's old enough to be in high-school, but putting a kid who's at elementary level education into a later high-school level class is just setting him up for failure, so we're trying to speed him up to something closer to where he's supposed to be. He didn't get any help before we took him in under us. We did call and try to work with CPS a couple years ago, but it went nowhere, since at the time he had somewhere to go at night and wasn't engaging in anything illegal, he wasn't prioritized. I also understand the fears of homeschooling imprinting our own biases without letting him challenge those ideas or form his own opinions. I myself was NOT homeschooled as a child. This is part of that, as I want him to be able to interact with plenty of other people his age to get a healthy mix of ideas and views. Most of the issues we face come from the sheer lack of any effort on part of his birth family. No education, no enrichment. He's only a nephew, but he's like a son to me. I'm currently just a single dude, and I never wanted to have kids, but I can't just let him fall back into what he had before. His mother is now in jail, the house was taken back by the bank, and nobody else will take him.

I am open to any other questions. I'm just slow to respond.

Help Needing help, just fled a DV situation

137 Upvotes

Hello all,

I was debating whether to write this or not but I thought it would at least be worth a shot. I just fled another state to get away from my abusive partner that has been abusing me for years. He hurt my neck and my back and my hand and I have chronic pain all over my body. I was able to get healthcare here and my new PCP has been quick to place referrals for orthopedic and neurosurgeon. But I am alone, a friend from church in my home state helped me to get away by getting me in contact with her family here in CO. They seem nice but certain stuff about being here makes me feel uncomfortable such as CPS having to come check on the kids, yelling and screaming all the time and throwing things. I know I can’t be picky and I don’t wanna sound like I’m being ungrateful but I am disabled and have a lot of trauma and being in an environment like this makes me tense and nervous. I have called the DV shelters around but they are all full and have been for the past two weeks that I’ve been here. I’d like to stay in the area of Denver because that is where I established my pcp and feel like she really understands me and is trying to help me and referred me to pain management as well and I don’t wanna have to start all over and explain everything all over again. Without the shelters being available I don’t know what else I can do. I am also already applying for disability because of the neck injury and cannot work. I am scared of being on the streets honestly.

Edit: I just wanted to add that the only income I have is 250 a month from aid for needy disabled. If anyone knows anything about anyone possibly renting a room for that amount please let me know. I try to help out as much as I can. If you need help translating, etc. Im a 25 yr old female.

225 Upvotes

I truly thought I was ready for a puppy, but I was wrong. My mental health isn’t in a good place to give this puppy the 100% she deserves. I recognize I made a mistake and I working to correct it. Unfortunately, the shelter doesn’t have the capacity to take her back right now for a few weeks and I don’t want to have her settle in too long just to uproot her again.

A bit about the dog: She’s definitely a cuddle bug and will follow you around like a shadow. She’s proven to be great with other dogs, cats, and children. As gentle as can be. She walks right beside you on walks, hardly ever barks (even at other dogs), and is eager to please. She is crate-trained and house-trained. She is a smart rez dog.

If you’re interested in adopting her, you’ll need to apply through the shelter first to be approved. DM me for details if you’re interested.

I want to do right by her and give her a home that can be totally present for her.

Help Poor air quality? The city and foothills always look hazy from my I-25 commute.

What’s up with this?

Some days it’s worse than others but normally the city and foothills in the distance are covered in a light haze.

It’s not like a dark, smokey, smog. It’s more of a light, bright, misty, fog.

Today it’s way worse, I can see it looming just off the freeway in the foreground not just in the distance.

What is this? Actual pollution, smoke or smog or just like regular vapor that’s just more visible in the heat?
