Story
Meet Howie! He has a million dollar smile and is a very sweet boy! From Howie's Foster: " Howie is a sweet, loving, and precious boy! He is a cuddle bug and loves to snuggle! He is potty trained and great on a leash! He has no behavioral problems and is not aggressive whatsoever. He is a very smart boy and loves to go on a daily walk! Previous shelter staff notes - What a sweet boy! Howie is one of my favorites in the shelter as he's so sweet, loving, easy going, and he gets along with everyone he meets! Howie is respectful towards other dogs and he does well with food and toys with others as well. Everytime you see him, he's got a big smile on his face! He seems potty trained, is great on the leash, and is cool, calm, and collected in his kennel. 10/10 would recommend!

Not every dog attends every adoption event. Interested in this pup? The first step is to complete our online application by clicking the "Apply for Adoption" button. Please note that we are only able to finalize adoptions at events for approved adopters. The earlier you apply, the better as it takes time to review and approve applications. We host adoption events almost every Saturday from 10:00am to 1:00pm at our rescue office (1721 W Harmony, unit 102, Fort Collins, Co 80526)! Check our Instagram and/or Facebook page for info on where we will be hosting adoptions this weekend! All Aboard Animal Rescue saves dogs and puppies from high-kill shelters in other states. These pups are brought to Colorado, where they are required to be spayed or neutered - breaking the cycle of unwanted litters of puppies who end up as strays! Please consider supporting us in this mission by adopting, fostering, volunteering, or donating.

Story
Staff notes - If you’re looking for a lucky lotto ticket to win the jackpot, meet Monopoly! She’s an A+ fantastic dog that gets along with all dogs she’s met and she loves to play chase for her favorite toys too. She’s well mannered, great on a leash, seems potty trained, and has no issues with toys or treats around other dogs.  She's mellow and relaxed and also knows when to play when the time is right. We’re unsure of where she’s been, but she appears to have had a litter or two in the past. She’s such a great girl and she deserves to hit the jackpot in life!  Monopoly does not like cats. Monopoly was rescued from a shelter in New Mexico. Meet and greets are by appointment only.  An approved application is required to schedule a meeting. Check out our events page for upcoming open adoption events! We have no additional back story or update for this dog at this time.  When we do, it will be updated here.  This is all the information we have currently. Approved Applicants may make the adoption fee payment by clicking donate above.  Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. Dogs adopted with our rescue come with FREE training from #GoodPup to help you build strong bonds from the start! If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded. Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free Pet insurance.  We are not affiliated with Pet First pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect).  Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico.  While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.   More questions?  Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/  Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.  A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs.  Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive.  From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639 ##2064545##

Story
Penny is an incredibly sweet, loving, free spirited dog looking for her new forever home. She is about 5 years old and came to California all the way from Mexico in December of 2020. She was adopted right away, however soon after, her new family found out they were expecting a baby and unfortunately Penny has shown signs of not feeling comfortable around a little one. She is fully house trained (has NEVER had an accident inside), never begs for food, and loves to sleep, play with her toys and look out for her family. She is an energetic pup that loves long walks outside, but equally loves long naps next to her parents. She is working on her reactivity to other dogs on walks, so she would do best with a family that is patient and able to help her through her anxiety.
