Story
If courage had a face, it would be 13-week-old Pepper’s face! This petit 18-pound black beauty, surrendered by her owner in Texas and separated from her siblings, is not only a survivor, she’s the calmest, most confident and most loving of puppies. Cuddling is her “super power,” molding her entire body into her foster mom’s, lying there so sweet and so still, like a heated stuffy toy. She also loves resting her head on her, rolling over for belly rubs and being under the covers, sleeping in the backyard in the sunshine and curling up on the couch by herself when she’s tired. Highly intelligent and happily energetic, Pepper thrives on a challenge and quickly understands any games her foster mom plays with her. As much as she enjoys playing with toys, chewing bones and playing fetch, she’s currently in quarantine awaiting all of her shots, but she’ll likely make an excellent running partner once she’s learned how to walk on a leash. Friendly towards the resident children, motivated by food and love, she knows “sit,” her favorite treat is dehydrated liver and any inappropriate chewing is easily redirected to a toy. Crate trained, almost fully house-trained, and just starting life’s journey, pretty Pepper will bloom in a loving and active home, perhaps with another young dog, that will complete her training, including her commands, and keep her in cuddles fur-ever. Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application received in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails). If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. The adoption fee for this pet is $450 (includes a $50 refundable puppy training deposit). Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all DAPP boosters after adoption. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for any rabies vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls at this time. PLEASE NOTE: The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter. Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets. Here is some interesting info on breed identification: https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online. We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting. Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member! April 25, 2024, 11:18 pm
