Hi pet owners of Denver! Just wanted to let the dedicated Reddit users who struggle with bills know that there is a sub called “random acts of pet food” that you can request $150 worth of donated pet food off of your curated Amazon wishlist every 6 months if you have over 500 karma comment points.

t’s a great way to keep your pets fed up to $150 dollars every 6 months.

Only caveat is that you are ineligible for your own pets if you volunteer (even for free) with animal rescue groups/shelters or donate any of your personal services to them directly.

Anyway, because I foster dogs (not paid), I am ineligible to participate for my own dogs welfare, but if you do not donate or volunteer with animal shelters or rescues you are eligible to post requests and I hope you do.

Please make a pet food only Amazon wishlist, all other requests will be denied immediately. Requests for treats of supplies is not allowed. Our Colorado Pet Pantry does so much, but can only provide so much.

The only requests I’ve seen denied are if you volunteer with animal rescues or shelters. Rescue heads also do not qualify for their own personal dogs.

Approved requests are generally funded within a couple days.

It’s a great resource, so please use it. Not sure why fellow animal helpers can’t use it, but I at least want my fellow struggling Denverites to get help.

My fiance and I recently moved to the highland park area of Aurora and we were wondering how many trick or treaters we should expect? It seems like a very family oriented area and we are hoping we get some as our last place we didn't get a single one. I'm trying to convince her that it is worth it to decorate nicely for the holiday but she is hesitant.

Hi everyone i am currently living in my car and it stopped running. I was told it was the fuel pump so I spent the last of my cash on it but it still won't start. Are there any mechanics in Denver/Aurora area that are willing to come help me at least diagnose the problem?

Ever since I started driving here, I've seen probably 100 cars with expired temp plates. Not expired by a couple days either, expired by up to multiple years. (I've seen one with plates from 2021!). The process for trying to register a car is absurd, and due to a certain check engine light code (Yes I read it 🤦‍♂️), I'm just not able to pass emissions unless I pay an outrageous fee to get it fixed. Is it even worth bothering to try and register the car at this point? Has anyone ever actually been pulled over for something like this. Because it seems like extremely old tags are very, very common.

What fees are we paying now that we get free recycling?

She is a very small dark brown Chihuahua all paws have white but one is fully brown her name is mila she is a rescue and very scared but not aggressive. They lost sight of her by parker road and temple.

Dude I can't remember the last time I got a phone alert like that mentioning life threatening harm holy shit. Basement flooded a bit but my god I've been hearing emergency sirens every couple of minutes. Hope everyone's doin alright...

My main question: Should I live close to work (Green Valley Ranch / Gateway quiet, short commute), or is it worth living somewhere livelier like Central Park/Stapleton, RiNo, or another neighborhood and commuting in? I genuinely don’t mind a 30-ish minute commute by train or bus if it means being somewhere with more to do, better vibes, and closer to the city. The A-Line seems key since it connects the airport area to town.

What I’m hoping to hear:

**•**	Best neighborhoods for my budget + commute that are safe and have some life to them (bars, food, walkability, things to do).

**•**	Whether GVR/Gateway is worth it for the easy commute, or too quiet/isolating for a short stay.

**•**	Any tips on finding rooms in shared housing (sites, groups, etc.).

**•**	Anything a newcomer should know, areas to avoid, transit gotchas, etc.

Really open to all suggestions, I don’t have a fixed idea, I just want to make the most of my time here without a car and without blowing my budget. Thanks so much in advance!

Hello - Considering getting a water filter system for the home. Has anyone recently been quoted for any of the Culligan systems? What was the pricing? Or is there any other recommended systems to consider? Thanks!
