Story
Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Jessie #3 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) . Jessie #3 | 3-year-old Corgi/Australian Shepherd mix | Born to Move, Built to Cuddle Jessie is a 27-pound sweetheart with a BIG personality and an even bigger supply of energy! This handsome Corgi/Australian Shepherd mix is friendly, playful, affectionate, and always ready for his next adventure. He loves people, enjoys playing with other dogs, and is just as happy soaking up attention on the couch as he is heading out for a walk. Let's be clear: Jessie is a HIGH-energy dog who needs an active home committed to meeting his physical and mental needs. Long walks, hikes, running, interactive play, and enrichment activities will be important parts of his daily routine. His foster took him on a seven-mile hike, and he still had energy to spare! A quick stroll around the block won't cut it for this guy. He needs a family that genuinely enjoys an active lifestyle and will give him plenty of appropriate outlets for all that energy. The good news is that Jessie can settle down nicely at home once he's had the activity he needs. He loves snuggling with his people and relaxing alongside his foster's dog. He's also doing well with house training and crate training, sleeps through the night, and can stay home alone for three to four hours. Jessie is social with other dogs and has shown friendly curiosity toward cats, backing off when they set boundaries. He knows sit and down, is highly motivated by treats, and enjoys toys, especially rope toys and squeaky stuffed animals. He's still working on his leash manners and greeting skills, as his excitement can lead to pulling and jumping up on people. Continued training, consistency, and mental stimulation will be essential to help him thrive. Jessie is looking for an active home that understands his energy level and is ready to make exercise, enrichment, and training a priority. In return, you'll get a loving, playful companion who's always up for doing things together and happy to finish the day with some quality cuddle time. If you're looking for a couch potato, Jessie probably isn't your guy. But if you're searching for an energetic adventure partner with a heart of gold, he might be exactly who you've been waiting for! 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 $400. 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.
