***Denver is currently living in a PRIVATE foster (temporary) home, so we can only accommodate meet & greets for APPROVED applications. To apply to adopt Denver, fill out our application on www.barkrescueca.org/adopt***
Denver's Basic Information:
Denver is a young dog, about 1 year old, so he still has some puppy energy.
What is his energy level?
He needs a family who leads an active life as he's pretty high energy and always needs something to work on. He's very smart so he's very trainable and needs a family who can continue to train him.
How is he with other dogs & cats?
He seems ok with other dogs but just unsure how to appropriately approach them to make friends, but he is not aggressive. If there are other dogs in the house, like most dogs, he will require slow and proper introduction, which we can guide you through.
How is he with people and kids?
He is more cautious with men, so he would need a slow introduction to men. He's ok with kids; He currently lives in a temporary home with a toddler and he has been gentle with the toddler. Regardless, for everyone's safety, we always require adult supervision every time a dog and a kid interacts.
He came to our rescue unaltered, unvaccinated, vomiting daily and with fleas. Ever since, we have neutered him, fully vaccinated him, treated his fleas and figured out the diet that works for him and got him to good health, as well given him a flea prevention medicine. All of this costs $$, which is why our adoption fee for him is $400, to help cover the vet bills that we have spent to give him the vet care that he needed and deserved.

Additional adoption info
After the adoption applicant is approved and the meet and greet goes well, we require applicant to go through a 30-day adoption trial & pay a non-refundable fee, which is 50% of the adoption fee. This is to ensure that the dog is really a good fit into the applicant's lifestyle and home environment. If the applicant decides to adopt the dog at the end of the 30-day trial, they will be required to sign the Adoption Fee & pay the remainder of the adoption fee. If at any point during the 30-day trial the applicant decides they no longer want to adopt the dog, then the dog must be returned to his foster home and the deposit is nonrefundable.

We are a small all-volunteer 501c3 animal rescue organization. We help reduce the overpopulation of homeless pets by doing the following:
- We rescue dogs from shelters and owner surrenders
- We rehabilitate the dogs at foster homes to help them decompress from the stressful shelter environment. As part of the rehabilitation, while the dogs are in foster care, we also spay & neuter them, update their vaccinations, and perform any other necessary medical procedures. We also provide some supplies like food, crates, etc.
- Once we think the dog is ready for adoption, we start taking in applications and interviewing potential adopters.
