Story
Meet Teddy! Teddy is a 1-year-old Chow Chow with a gentle heart and a cautious, sensitive nature. She is still learning that the world can be safe and predictable, and she needs time, patience, and consistency to feel comfortable in new environments (a little bit of chicken or cheese helps!). While very shy at first, she shows small but meaningful signs of trust as she begins to feel secure. Teddy is currently building confidence in shelter care and will thrive in a calm, structured home that allows her to move at her own pace. She is beginning to show interest in other dogs and may benefit from a calm, well-adjusted canine companion who can provide reassurance while respecting her space. Teddy has exhibited significant fear-based behaviors in the shelter environment, including extreme avoidance, resistance to handling, and occasional air snapping when overwhelmed. She is considered a high flight risk requiring structured management, secure containment, and careful, low-pressure handling as she adjusts to a new home. A securely fenced yard with a minimum 6-foot fence is required to support her safety as she continues learning about the world. She is currently receiving behavioral medication to support her progress. Any medication changes must be guided by a veterinarian and should not be adjusted or discontinued without professional oversight. Teddy will do well with an experienced adopter, ideally one familiar with the Chow Chow breed or similar independent, sensitive breeds, who understands the importance of patience, structure, and allowing trust to develop over time. Due to her sensitive nature, Teddy would do best in an adult-only home without young children. A meet-and-greet at the shelter is required to ensure the best match. With calm consistency and respect for her boundaries, Teddy has the potential to continue building confidence and gradually blossom into a more secure companion. ------ Many NMDR dogs have had limited prior socialization and may need time, patience, and support as they adjust to home life. Skills such as house training, leash walking, and handling may require continued practice. Progress will vary by individual dog. Homes with older children are often a good fit, depending on temperament. To learn more about NMDR and our adoption process, please visit our website.

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!
