Please go to our website at www.milehighlabmission.com to find out more about this pet and to submit an adoption application. Please DO NOT call or email us; all information about current dogs available, adoption donations, vetting, and this specific dog are on our website. We are a non-profit organization and we are completely 100% volunteer run. We DO NOT have a shelter and only approved applicants can make appointments with our foster homes to meet the dogs we have.Our volunteers will not discuss dogs we have available for adoption UNTIL you have an application on file and are approved to adopt.General Notes | Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP, and an Adoption Coordinator will be in touch within a few days. Our standard application processing timeline is 12 - 14 days. Personality | Story | Pulled from a high-kill shelter in Mississippi before making his way to Colorado to become a mountain pup!Other Dogs | Good with other dogs! He's being fostered with multiple dogs of all different sizes and doing great!Cats | Joey is being fostered with cats in Mississippi and doing well. He ignores the kitties!Children | Joey is being fostered with a year old and a seven year old and is a total sweetheart with them!Training | He is crate trained and potty trained! He'll go on car rides if required but isn't a fan of being loaded in and out of the car. Leash | He walks well on the leash!Activity Level | Health Notes | Joey was heartworm positive when he was pulled from the shelter but he recently completed his heartworm injections and exercise restrictions with the his foster in Mississippi. He will need to be retested for heartworms in January 2027 and is expected to be negative. Since the heartworms should have died within the first month after receiving the injections, he shouldn't need any exercise restrictions moving forward and can go on all the Colorado adventures! :)Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $575 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year old, $525 for 1 - 6 years old, $475 for dogs 7 - 10 years old, and $350 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $625. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, transportation to Colorado, and supplies while in foster care (that currently average over $750 per dog).August 12, 2026, 1:37 am

Story

My nephew got this cute little girl when she was 7 weeks old from his friend at school. She really hasn’t been around other dogs except when took her to vet for her shots. she was so curious of the puppies and all scared of the dogs bigger than her . She is so loving, playful, and full of energy. She hasn’t been professionally trained but will sit and give high five if you tell her paw. My kids and I all love her so much but my nephew just doesn’t have the time for her or money financially to keep caring for her. Also my girls and I are allergic unfortunately and can’t be with her as much as she needs. She thinks she is still a tiny puppy, loves people and cuddles. I believe my nephew said she was born Feb 2 of this year. So she is currently 6months old as of Aug 2nd

Story

Hi, I’m Sweet Potato. My name says everything you need to know about me. I’m super sweet and a little on the shy side. I play really well with my siblings but am a little more cautious around my bigger foster siblings. I also like playing in the pool and even just playing outside by myself, if I have a good squeaky toy to swing around. I do well with kids, my crate and the doggie door. As long as I have access, I’m good with going outside to go potty too. In foster! Apply on our website if you’re interested in meeting me!

My name is Shoofly Pie. I’m a fun adventurous pup who loves to play in the water. I’m a big fan of tennis balls and wrestling with my siblings. I do well with my foster siblings and get really excited when the neighbor kids come to see me. I’m still working on my potty training but am an expert at the doggie door. When I’m not playing, I’m a big fan of following my foster mom around, snuggling and belly rubs. I also sleep through the night, most nights and do well in my crateIn foster!

I am merengue, I look like the cutest little wolf pup. I have lots of puppy energy and need something to keep me occupied or I can be a little mischievous and nibble on things around the house. I can be really sweet too! I love to be held or sit on my foster’s lap and snuggle. I get along great with kids, my siblings and my foster siblings. I like chasing them and playing in the water. I also do well with my crate, the doggie door and sleeping through the night. I’m still working on my pottie training and am getting better everyday. In foster!
