Story
General Information:Cookie is an approximately 4-year-old female Chihuahua who has been spayed, microchipped, and is current on her vaccinations. She arrived at the rescue facility at the end of August 2025 accompanied by one puppy, who has since been adopted. Origin and Arrival:Cookie was rescued from Southeast Colorado; we believe that she and her puppy were left outside without a lot of human interaction. Training and Behavior:She is kennel-trained and familiar with using a doggie door.  Although she has experienced a few accidents inside the house, with consistent supervision, it is expected that she will become reliably housetrained. Social Compatibility:Cookie generally gets along well with most dogs but exhibits some bossiness and jealousy, especially when attention is given to other dogs. Therefore, careful management of interactions with other pets is advisable. Ideal Home Environment:It is recommended that Cookie be placed in a household with older children who are knowledgeable about dog behavior and language, ensuring a harmonious and understanding environment suitable for her needs. Please fill out an application on www.fureverdogdenver.com. If you would like more information or to meet her, please call or text 720 588-6809. ##2505063##

Story
A dog by any other name, just wouldn’t be the same! Fantastic Mr. Fox, referred to as FMF or Fox, is a 6 year old (almost 7) Chihuahua mix. He came to MHCR as a transfer from a local CO shelter in February of 2025. He spent the next 10 months completely kicking our a$$e$ with his allergies and trying to get them under control. AND WE HAVE SUCCEEDED. This guy is, you guessed it, fantastic. He’s been totally worth the effort and we couldn’t be more thrilled to finally list him for his true forever home. He’s on a strict diet and requires daily meds to maintain this luxurious coat and to keep his skin fully intact. Fox is around 12-13 lbs. He loves wearing clothes and fully expects a nice wardrobe from his forever humans. He is great with dogs and cats of all sizes and has proven himself to be house trained. Are you in school? Perfect! He wants to eat your homework. If you aren’t into that you can simply crate him, but be warned, he will protest that a bit in the beginning. Fox likes car rides. He enjoys walks and stroller rides. He’s never met a stranger and is quick to warm up to new peeps he meets. He has bursts of play, but LOVES snuggle time under ALLLLLL the blankets as any good chi should. We have worked closely with Mr. Fox’s regular veterinarians as well as a dermatology specialist at CSU (🙏🏻) to come up with the right blend of meds and food to keep this boy comfy and healthy. He takes Atopica, prednisone, eats a strict prescription diet, and has an even stricter list of treats – with this kind of treatment you’d be surprised he isn’t royalty. We are happy to report, we’ve spent months monitoring his bloodwork and his body has finally taken kindly to the program. Mr. Fox, unfortunately has had a handful of seizures while in our care over the preceding 12 months. At this stage he does not require medications however it is something he may need additional support with in the future. We aren’t looking for just any home. We are looking for the right home. While there are many shapes and sizes, one thing is for sure, FMF’s forever peeps shouldn’t be opposed to a dog will have some medical needs. He promises to pay them back 10 fold, though. Fantastic Mr. Fox is in foster in Black Hawk, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/fantastic-mr-fox You can apply for our wonderful dogs at https://www.milehighcanine.org/adopt/adoption-application/.

Story
"Elden is a tiny guy with big feelings. At 1.5 years old this little Chihuahua is basically a shy introvert who accidentally signed up for life on Earth. Elden came from a hoarding situation where he unfortunately never learned how to be a normal spoiled house dog. When he first arrived in foster care, the world was very suspicious: People? Definitely sus. Couches? Could not be trusted. doorbells? Oh hell nawww. After a month or so, Elden’s foster mom noticed a majorplot twist. He now comes out of his crate to socialize and has discovered that humans may actually be useful for things like snacks and gentle ear scratches. And couches? The. Best. Thing. Ever. Especially if there’s a blanket available for snuggling. A few of his recent accomplishments: ✔ Leashed walks. What fun it is to explore. ✔Potty trained (a gentleman, however he may decorate a new space temporarily) ✔ Loves other dogs – they are his emotional support coworkers ✔Professional crate pickup specialist – if you need to pick him up, the crate is his safe “elevator” Things he’s still working on: •Being picked up in the open (he will perform a brief interpretive dance of avoidance) •Realizing that pets are good (he gets stiff at first but then closes his eyes and leans in like he’s downloading affection) •Learning that the world is not actually out to get him •Voluntary snuggling. He’s not a snuggler yet — but he very badly wants to be loved. With a patient human who gives him a few weeks to decompress, he will almost certainly turn into the kind of little dog who bonds deeply and follows his person everywhere. If you enjoy earning the trust of shy animals and want the reward of watching a tiny dog discover that life can be safe and cozy, Elden might be your guy. Bonus feature: only 9 pounds, so if he eventually becomes a stage-five clinger, he will be a very portable one." Elden is being fostered in Parker, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs.* You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/elden/.

Story
Meet Tim, a big personality crammed into a teeny tiny 6–7 lb body. At 5 (almost 6), this little Chihuahua is sensitive, cautious, and learning to trust at his own pace. He is adorable, expressive, and fully committed to doing things his way. Tim is a fearful little guy and will need a patient, adult-only home. He has learned lots of new things while in foster care – like the art of the doggie door, couch snuggles, occasional walks (catching him to leash him is sometimes a challenge) and TREATS! He is a ninja at accepting treats. Food and patience truly are the way to his heart. Once Tim trusts someone, he becomes super snuggly and transforms into a tiny, affectionate shadow who just wants to be near you – kind of like a cat though. Those hard-earned cuddle moments are pure magic and absolutely worth the wait. He is silly, playful, and loves his toys. He is also free-roam trustworthy, and gets along well with other dogs. Tim is looking for someone who loves an underdog story and understands that progress comes in baby steps. He needs patience, consistency, and someone who celebrates the small wins. In return, you get the honor of being Tim’s safe place and watching him slowly blossom into the sweet boy we know he can be. If you’re ready for a tiny dog with big feelings and even bigger charm, Tim is ready to meet you. Tim is being fostered in Longmont, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs.* You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/tim/.

Story
Meet Buster! Buster is a 4 (almost 5) year old, 15 lbs, Chihuahua mix. This sweet, gentle boy is a total cuddlebug once he feels safe with you. He’s fully crate trained, potty trained, and walks well on a leash. Buster is smart, but also very shy—he can be skeptical of new people and needs someone who will go slow, respect his space, and let him build trust at his own pace. Once he warms up, his personality shines. With continued socialization and positive exposure to new people and experiences, he’ll continue to grow in confidence. He’s very chill, loves hanging out at home, and will happily entertain himself watching (or chasing!) squirrels in the yard. He’s great in the car, has no separation anxiety, and prefers quiet environments over big groups. If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who will be your loyal shadow once he feels comfortable, Buster could be your perfect match. Buster seems to enjoy the company of similarly sized dogs, but he doesn’t require the company of one in his forever home. Buster is in foster in Mead, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/buster You can apply for our wonderful dogs at https://www.milehighcanine.org/adopt/adoption-application/.
