Story
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THIS DOG: Rosie is shy and fearful around humans and is bonded to Sammy. She requires patience, love, and guidance to help continue to show her how to properly dog and that the world is not as scary as it seems. Rosie is a very shy girl and is still feeling a little scared of humans. She does like to be pet and having her neck scratched. Her personality shows when she gets outside and argues with the squirrels but it takes a little while for her to get used to coming inside the house. Rosie has seen a lot in her life and has some trust issues with humans. She has never shown any aggression and will melt when she gets brushed or pet. Like her siblings, she will take some time adjusting to a new home and may never totally come out of her shell. She would be good in a home with a fenced yard or warm outside space and no cats. Rosie came into rescue with her two friends, who are also female chow mixes. All three were very scared of humans and refused to even be touched. Again, there was no aggression - but they would run away in fear if humans tried to approach. They have been fostered with our director's family for last couple of years while they have gone through a very slow introduction to the good side of humans. While they are now ready to find their forever homes, they do need adopters who are willing to take the time to win their trust and won't expect them to be going for walks around the neighborhood anytime soon. These girls can only go to homes with fully fenced backyards and very patient humans. These girls will not be attending our adoption events and will require meet and greets at the foster's home. ADOPTION FEE: $75 We are a foster-based rescue and generally do not have pups available to meet at our office except during adoption events on Saturdays. 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THIS DOG: Sammy is shy and fearful around humans and is bonded to Rosie. She requires patience, love, and guidance to help continue to show her how to properly dog and that the world is not as scary as it seems. Sammy is so sweet! She had a rough beginning and has come a very long way learning how to be a dog and trusting humans. She went from cowering in corners and kennels to spinning excitedly when we greet her in the morning. Sammy has never showed any aggression to humans and just melts when getting brushed. She is full of curiosity and loves exploring and chasing the squirrels. Sammy will take some time and patience from a special human to get used to her surroundings and will need a fenced yard as she is not very comfortable on a leash. She will do best in a home by herself and no cats. Sammy came into rescue with her two friends, who are also female chow mixes. All three were very scared of humans and refused to even be touched. Again, there was no aggression - but they would run away in fear if humans tried to approach. They have been fostered with our director's family for last couple of years while they have gone through a very slow introduction to the good side of humans.

Story
Zoey affectionately known as Toast is in need of a new home to live out her golden years. I am looking for an experienced adopter/ rescue who can provide the rehabilitation she needs after being abandoned by her previous family due to not getting along with new pets. Medical history: currently being treated for neck pain and anxiety. She does have some dental disease. Otherwise no medical concerns. Heartworm negative. Behavioral history: dog fear/ aggression, high prey drive, anxiety Zoey has been transported to Denver from Houston after being abandoned by her previous family. She needs to go to a home without cats and will need training to safely be around other dogs. When in a safe environment, Toast is very friendly, cuddly, and playful with all people. She loves to chase a ball and snuggle on the couch. She has lived with small infants and middle school aged children in the past with no issue. She deserves the world!

Story
  Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Fenway 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 72 hours  (please check your spam folder for our emails) .   Fenway | 8-year-old mixed breed | The Goofy Gentleman Fenway is an 8-year-old, 40-pound mix with the perfect balance of gentlemanly manners and goofy charm. He’s mellow, low-to-medium energy, and loves lounging, short walks, and couch snuggles—ideal for quiet mornings, Netflix marathons, and road trips. Fenway is almost fully house trained, crate trained (though he prefers free roam), and generally good on leash. Fenway does require very slow, thoughtful introductions to both people and other dogs. While he can politely coexist with other dogs in public, he prefers to keep his castle to himself and would do best as the only dog in his home. Recently, Fenway has started showing behaviors that suggest he may feel more comfortable with men than women, though with patience, consistency, and calm energy, he can continue building trust. He appreciates gentle approaches, predictable routines, and being allowed to move at his own pace. Kids and cats haven’t been tested yet, but he would likely thrive in a quiet, low-traffic home without a lot of hustle and bustle. He’s affectionate, food motivated (salmon is a favorite!), and full of endearing quirks: soft “songs” when content, pawing for attention, belly rub flops, and his signature “seal pose.” Fenway is adjusting beautifully after a previous ear infection and is learning to trust gentle, predictable handling. Fenway’s ideal home is patient, calm, and steady—somewhere he can feel safe, loved, and appreciated for the loyal, snuggly companion he is.   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 $375. 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 72 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!
