My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Peaches (formerly known as "Delphine"), a beautiful, quiet, and gentle 40-lb adult dog estimated to be 2.5 years old, is a rescue doggo who needs a forever home to help her forget her past and be a confident, relaxed doggo again.

Peaches was in a shelter in NM for a long time, and as such has understandably lost some faith in humanity and currently finds the world at large a little intimidating; however, in the short time she's been in foster care (she reached her current foster home in Longmont, CO, in early Feb 2024) Peaches is already making significant progress and learning to trust that human contact/interaction is okay. She loves being outside (to watch squirrels or wade in a stream, preferably) and is eager to leave the house for walkies. Peaches has had two large litters, but she is now spayed and her momma dog time is behind her... now it's her time to love life and be part of someone's loving family unit forever.

Peaches is crate trained, house trained, dog door trained, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Her foster people feel that in a few months, Peaches should have gained enough confidence in herself and her environment that she could be adopted by a family *with experience rehabilitating a dog with fear/lack of trust-based behavior issues*. Because she currently gets nervous with sudden movements, a home with young children will not be suitable for her. Note that Peaches is NOT reactive to other dogs, indoors or outside... she genuinely enjoys going for walks and getting her sniffs in! VIDEO: https://youtu.be/FBsnTpp3ryw?feature=shared

Do you have experience with patiently bringing a rescue animal who's learning to leave the past behind out of their protective shell, and teaching them they'll now be forever safe and loved? If so, please submit an adoption application to RezDawg Rescue to meet Miss Peaches in Longmont, Colorado, today!

Additional adoption info

We are doggie and kitty match-makers. We do everything in our power to assure that our dogs or cats will thrive in your environment.

Please start by submitting an application to adopt on our website. We do our best to respond to all applications but do to the number of applications received, this may always not be possible.

If you, your family and your lifestyle look like a good fit for the personality and needs of the animal, there's a phone call to chat and answer any additional questions. From there we will arrange a no-obligation meet and greet, where the animal could then go home with you, provided it is a good fit for all involved! (All this can happen within a week's time!)

A contract is signed at time of adoption. If for ANY reason you are unable to keep your companion, we quite passionately INSIST the animal be returned to us and NOT dropped in a shelter. We would happily take any of our adoptions back if it proves NOT a good fit for your family. :-)

Adoption fees include spay/neuter, microchip, basic vaccinations, (including rabies if old enough), deworming, rescue and transport costs, other medical services as needed (which can include but not limited to skin scrape, fecal exam, x-ray, amputation and hospitalization). Felines additionally receive an felv/fiv test and checked for ringworm with the Woods lamp prior to transport.

Adoption fees may vary due to special health circumstances, but typically start with...adult dogs (1 year and older): $425; puppies: $475; adult cats (1 year and older): $175; kittens: $250.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster based rescue ~ we DO NOT have a physical shelter at the moment. All of our dogs and cats reside in foster homes all throughout the Front Range and the Western Slope of Colorado. We have adoption events regularly at Petsmart stores in Denver, CO. If we do not have an event scheduled, we can arrange a time for you to meet one of our animals available for adoption.

More about this rescue

We relocate dogs and cats from high-intake shelters, animal control facilities, and reservations in the Four Corners area to animal rescue partners and forever homes in Colorado. We provide transportation to foster homes and other partner organizations, offer medical care and low/no cost spay and neuter services, manage a network of foster homes for temporary shelter, and run adoption events so that these animals can find forever homes.

Since March of 2012, we have transported thousands of at-risk dogs and cats to safety, solely on generous donations from caring individuals like you who see how dire the need is in and around the Navajo reservation.
