Story

Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Herman #2 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 in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Herman #2 | 9-year-old Chihuahua Mix | Squeaky toy enthusiast Herman is a sweet, petite Chihuahua mix with a gentle soul and a big love for squeaky toys. At just 10 pounds, he’s a low-to-medium energy companion who enjoys leisurely walks, cozy couch time, and proudly carrying his favorite squeaky toys around the house. He is almost fully house-trained and does best with regular potty breaks and supervision, and he is comfortably crated when his foster is away. Herman walks nicely on leash and enjoys getting outside, but he does have some separation anxiety and can be vocal when left alone or crated. While he isn’t destructive, he would be happiest in a home with another dog for companionship and people who are home more often than not. Because of his tendency to bark when left alone, an apartment setting would not be ideal for him. He does well with small dogs and has shown positive interactions with cats, mostly ignoring them with occasional, easily redirected barking. Herman hasn’t been around children yet and can be shy and nervous in new situations, but he responds well to gentle structure and boundaries. Herman is motivated by food, toys, and affection, and while he’s still learning basic commands, he’s eager to please. He would thrive in a home with a yard, another dog, and a calm routine where he can feel secure. Herman has a heart murmur and is currently healing from a broken toe. He was adopted from the Aurora Animal Shelter and returned after a week when his previous family realized they were gone long hours and living in an apartment. With the right environment, Herman will make a loyal, loving companion who just wants to feel safe and included. 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 $100. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all 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. 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! December 28, 2025, 9:50 am

Story

Meet Barry: Tiny Goblin-in-Recovery; Fun-Sized Security BreachBarry arrived at the Pueblo shelter as a stray after a Good Samaritan found him on a dirt road feeling pretty rough (GI issues, fever, the works). The good news: he’s medically cleared and feeling great. The important news: the shelter environment was very hard on Barry.In the shelter, Barry experienced high levels of fear, anxiety, and stress. When overwhelmed, he escalated quickly and attempted to bite staff multiple times. This is important for any potential family to know: when Barry feels unsafe or trapped, he will use his teeth to communicate. He needs people who respect his boundaries and understand fear-based behavior.Now for the plot twist.Once Barry landed in a patient, loving foster home, he transformed almost instantly—going from a tart, rotting cranberry to a deliciously sweet strawberry (this is a scientifically observed phenomenon). With time, space, and predictable routines, Barry’s true personality emerged.Barry LOVES, LOVES, LOVES kids, enjoys cuddling, snuggling, and being held (we remain unconvinced his legs truly work), and thrives in a home where he knows what’s coming next. He currently lives peacefully with large and small dogs, cats, and a preschooler, and particularly enjoys spooning with the other small dog like a tiny, fuzzy backpack.He’s silly, spunky, and loves to play—especially with tiny toys that are appropriately sized for his compact body. He does need help with housetraining, can climb baby gates, and will absolutely escape a yard if he discovers a rat-sized hole. Barry believes rules are ‘suggestions’.When he’s not trying to look as cute as can be, Barry strongly resembles Spike from Gremlins; purely aesthetic, no behavioral warranty implied and rest assured: no midnight feeding restrictions apply—just patience, kindness, and a sense of humor.Barry is looking for an experienced, patient adopter who understands fear-based behavior and is willing to keep life calm, safe, and predictable. In the right environment, Barry proves that when fear is removed, love has plenty of room to show up Please contact her foster parents, Allison and Joshua, at waldvogel0724@gmail.com to inquire about Oreo or set up a visit. Be sure to give Allison and Joshua 24 hours to respond.

Story

Tom is an estimated five year old, 14 pound Applehead Chihuahua who was found with another Chihuahua Jerry, at an Autozone on the South side of San Antonio, Texas, racing across the parking lot to a hot dog stand for food. They were both covered in fleas and ticks, not neutered, and of course... no microchip. Tom is a mellow boy who loves to cuddle and snooze the day away. Put another way, he is very, very, very lazy- if allowed to sleep all day... he will. This is the perfect dog for someone out there! He is not one to play with dogs or toys. He loves human food (but watch your fingers). Tom will hang out with you in the bed if you pick him up to snuggle, otherwise he's pretty independent. He is good with other dogs, but doesn’t play, just coexists. He did have one friend- Jerry, the dog he was found with who has already been adopted in Colorado and would love to reconnect. Also good with kids. Tom is healthy, fully vaccinated and neutered now. His neuter was complicated because he's a double cryptorchid (both testicles never descended) and he required four rotten teeth to be extracted to prevent a painful infection. Tom is currently living in a foster home in San Antonio, Texas, awaiting an adopter or open foster home in Colorado to bring him up and into their home- the next transport arrives January 9th! ***Tom is being posted on behalf of our partner rescue in Texas- the process and adoption will go through them. The adoption fee does not include the transport fee (usually $125-200).*** Red Fern Animal Rescue offers a two week foster to adopt trial in your home before finalizing the adoption to ensure the animal is the right fit for you, everyone in the home, human & animal, and vice versa. Red Fern Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foster-based animal rescue in Denver that saves animals from abandonment and neglect in South Texas for new lives in Colorado. We primarily rescue dogs off the streets and from kill shelters in San Antonio. ##2616633##

Story

Butterscotch was found on the streets of San Antonio, Texas. His finder posted him on Pawboost and took care of him waiting for a loving person or family to step forward and claim him. When no one stepped up Butterscotch was rehomed, only for the husband to say he was allergic and then given to our rescuer in Texas. This sweet boy just wants a home and people of his own. As a result he is a velcro dog and could use an ESH- Emotional Support Human. He wants to be held. Very food motivated. He is good with other dogs but has "little dog syndrome" so much prefers his humans. He doesn't really play with other dogs. Good with kids. Butterscotch can be a Nervous Nellie in the car, so please hold him. Butterscotch is an approximately 1-2 year (has all adult teeth and a little tartar), 4-5 pound Applehead Chihuahua. Butterscotch is currently living in a foster home in San Antonio, Texas, awaiting an adopter or open foster home in Colorado to bring him up and into their home- the next transport arrives January 9th! ***Butterscotch is being posted on behalf of our partner rescue in Texas- the process and adoption will go through them.
