My story

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

ADOPT OR FOSTER ME!!
Meet Joy! The name says it all - this gal is always happy. From the second she wakes up, she alternates between nap time and playtime. On her own, she enjoys toys and keeps herself pretty entertained.

While we don’t know all the details, we can tell Joy had a tough past. She came to us with an injury to her left eye, which her vet recommended be removed. That surgery was completed on February 15th and she’s recovering smoothly! She also has some scars on her neck, likely a result of spending a lot of time chained up in a previous home. With a history like that, no one would blame her if it took some time to trust people, but instead she wags her tail and adorably jumps in excitement for every person she meets. What an incredible dog, right?!

Estimated to be around three years old, Joy is the perfect mix of energetic and calm. She’s almost 50 pounds but doesn’t realize it. Since she’s still learning to contain her bubbly excitement, Joy will not be able to go to a home with young children around. While she has done okay one-on-one with some dogs in mellow settings, Joy may do best as the only dog in the home or with an experienced adopter/foster and a calm, balanced dog in the home.

Joy is crate trained, potty trained and sleeps perfectly through the night. You will immediately fall in love with this sweetheart and she deserves a home full of love and fun.

Submit a no obligation adoption or foster application and we’d be happy to tell you more about her!

Their adoption process

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.
