My story

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

Fun, silly



Really wants to be friends but gets in his own way



The SW Shed dogs were found by Rezdawg locked in a shed. The owner dropped food for them but they were never allowed out. He had no idea how many of them there were and of course they had never been to a vet or socialized in any positive way :(



Due to the circumstances these dogs were found in, they are going to need specific situations:



Need to stay in martingale collar and leash drag until dogs are bonded to people/place



NOT allowed off leash (for longer than most dogs)



HOLD space for them (for longer than most dogs)



They have never been without their siblings, this will take some adjustment



They also only know how to play they way they did with their siblings, this may take a patience and a solid dog to help them with



Dogs are their main language and what they like/know better than us – they will struggle if there isn’t one around



They came from an absolutely quiet area into another relatively quiet one; traffic, people, normal stuff is going to be stressful for them; treat them more like a cat than a dog….no outings, let them get comfy at home and find their footings without the chaos of people, life and the environment. Incl no walks until they really settle in.



They should wear a tracking device 24/7 for their first 8mo (apple airtag as a last resort)

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): $450; puppies: $500; adult cats (1 year and older): $200; kittens: $275.

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.
