Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Do you SEE the way this girl looks at humans? Elly wants to be loved. That’s literally ALL she wants. Elly P. is an adoptable hound beagle mix, and she is looking for her perfect person.
We say that Elly is like a winter squash – she’s tender and sweet on the inside, a little bumpy on the outside. Her deep brown eyes and head tilt will capture any human’s gaze. She communicates on a level rarely seen in the canine species. She understands many English words and will respond vocally to you. (It’s really quite hilarious. She LOVES to talk.)
Elly has been at headquarters for a couple weeks, and here’s what she wants in her forever life:
“I’m Elly. I would like a place that’s safe and quiet, with clear expectations. I try to be flexible, but when things aren’t clear, I get a little stressed. In my new home, I would be ok with a doggie friend, but not too many of them. If there are soft blankets to cuddle on, and a schedule for going outside, eating, and playing, that will help me a lot! Please pet me all day long, and look me in the eyes and talk to me. I have a lot of thoughts about things, and it would just make my day to have a chance to discuss my deep thoughts with you.”
This girl would love to be someone’s baby. She likes to wear shirts, jackets, Thunder jackets, and be wrapped in a blanket. Sitting on the couch next to you is one of her favorite activities. She’ll never complain about what you choose to watch on TV. Chicken and beef are two of her favorite foods. She loves a nice home-cooked meal a couple of times per week and has grown to love vegetables. When home-cooked food isn’t available she enjoys a good pate wet food mixed with her kibble. And while it’s not polite to talk about a lady’s weight Elly P. could lose a couple pounds. She is sensitive to pain, please don’t pull on her collar, or yell at her. It would break her spirit and make her cry.
Elly P. really wants to be a good girl, so giving her small projects to build her confidence will be a great way to help her see her own best qualities. Understanding and communication will be the strongest way to support her success. She will always alert you to her needs; whether it be a snack from the kitchen, or to be taken outside she’s going to tell you all about it. She is funny and charismatic. When going outside she is eager to walk. She loves a good sniff session, and walks better when wearing a Gentle Leader.

An adoption agreement is required for each rescue dog. Our agreement is built around the application and combined to make the most of everyone’s valuable time. Additional verbiage and/or provisions may be written into the agreement tailored to the specific needs of the rescue dog i.e. vaccinations or spay/neuter surgeries.
A completed and signed agreement is requested at the beginning of any trial period. Trial periods are not a requirement of our adoption process but rather a courtesy we offer. We support trial periods consisting of an overnight stay or a weekend trip. This exercise helps everyone become more comfortable and fosters a sense of security.
Adoption fees vary depending on the age, breed and health of the dog. Please contact us on the dog you are interested in for more info on the adoption fee.

More about this rescue
In the spring of 2011, I received an email that was filled disturbing content. Concordia Animal Control in Kansas sent out a plea to all Colorado Dog Rescues. The email was filled with a descriptive tale outlining four Hound dogs that had been chained on four foot leads and left to die in a suburban backyard.
The animal control officer that had generated the plea for rescue had turned to Colorado in hopes that four good homes could be located for the recovering hounds. The officer knew that finding rescue within Kansas state lines was next to impossible because hound dogs are a dime-a-dozen.
As I read the story of the emaciated hounds and the neglect they had suffered, I knew that I needed to take action. I had to find rescue for these poor animals. I immediately forwarded the email to everyone in Colorado that I knew was a dog lover. Next, I trashed the email. Because after all, I had done my part for the hounds.
The same email arrived again just a couple of days later. This time the message was marked urgent. Rescue in Colorado had not come through. After spending thousands of dollars on nursing the dogs back from the brink of death, they were in danger of being euthanized. Of course, I did what any dog lover would do; I forwarded the email. Again, I sent the plea to everyone in Colorado that I knew had a rescue dog, wanted to rescue a dog, and simply loved rescue dogs.
A week later a similar email from the same author arrived in my box. I was appalled. No one had offered a safe place for these refugees. Only one rescue in Colorado had stepped up; they took two of the hounds.
I thought to myself, Of all the people in Colorado I sent the rescue email to, not one had room in their home for two hound dogs?! NOT ONE! I was disturbed by the lack of empathy my friends had shown. Moreover, I was disappointed that no one offered any kind of help.
It was at that moment I realized that I hadn’t done anything to help secure rescue in Colorado for any of the hounds. And there my personal rescue story began. Forty eight hours and a thousand phone calls later, I drove from Colorado to Kansas to rescue a couple of hound dogs.
