My story

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

Meet Zeni — The Little Soul Who’s Learning What Love Feels Like



Zeni has never truly known what it means to have a home. Picked up as a stray by animal control at only 3 weeks old he’s spent every single day of his seven months of life waiting — waiting to feel safe, waiting to belong, waiting for someone patient enough to see the shy, gentle boy behind those soulful eyes.



When the world is quiet and the lights are low, Zeni’s heart opens up. At night, he loves to snuggle in bed with his foster mom — finally resting, finally trusting. 



During the day, Zeni is still learning to be brave. Loud sounds and sudden movements remind him of how small and uncertain life has been so far. But every day, he takes a few more steps forward — a curious sniff, a tail wag, a quiet moment of courage.



Zeni is learning from the other dogs in his foster home that the world doesn't have to be such a scary place. He seems to be more comfortable around women right now but is already taking treats from the men in the house.



What Zeni needs isn’t much — just time, patience, and love. He’s not the dog who will run to greet you on day one, but he will be the one who slowly, quietly, chooses you with his whole heart. And when he does, that love will be the most beautiful gift you’ll ever receive.



If you have a gentle heart and a calm home, Zeni is waiting for you. He’s been waiting his whole life to finally go home — maybe, just maybe, that home is yours.



Zeni is fully vaccinated, microchipped and neutered and will be attending our adoption event on Sunday, December 14th from 11a to 3p at Petsmart (Chapel Hills), 7680 North Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80920

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.
