My story

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

Ms Prairie is an adorable soul with the best ears.  She was found by an awesome family outside Tucumcari that couldn't keep her.  She was well taken care of and spoiled until she was able to get to Colorado.  While in her first home she discovered her best friend is a cat!  See video. 
   Prairie is dog friendly but initially hesitant.  When she meets more people she is shy (think scratch under chin instead of pat on the head).  Once she is comfortable she will provide you with laughter at her brief zoomies.  As she settles in she loves to keep you warm, steal your warm spot if you get up, and cuddle. 
   Prairie does have a light, adorable snore and will sleep on the couch or the bed.  She will go in the crate but will guilt you with her wounded look.   She uses the doggie door and takes herself outside for bathroom breaks. 
   On a leash she does not pull but does freeze up if a car or bike goes by.  She needs a little confidence to loud noises and experiences but is eager to be part of the family.  She rides quietly in the car with no motion sickness. 
  Prairie is fostered in Colorado Springs.

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.
