Story

  Hi, I'm Snow. More information coming soon!   Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure each pet 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 received in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails). 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. Adopters shall be responsible for all DAPP boosters after adoption. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for any rabies vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking  here . Please give us 48 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 at this time. 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!

Lily

Coonhound

Female, Adult

Highlands Ranch, CO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Hi! My name is Lily. I am a coonhound mix (seven years old) and have been with my current family for over five years. My humans love me SO much, but they have come to the incredibly difficult decision to find me another home since I no longer get along with my sister (another female dog) and they believe I would thrive as an only dog. I get anxious around new people, so I may take some time to warm up to you, but if you are patient (and give me treats!), it will not take long until we are the best of friends! I love being around my humans and I give lots of cuddles and kisses. When I am feeling cuddly, I will lay on top of you and melt into you. My humans say I am not dog friendly; I have been attacked by off-leash dogs while on leash, so I have learned to be wary of other dogs. I also would not do well around small children and would be happiest in a house where kids are old enough to respect my boundaries. Please give me a chance and I will be the most loyal and loving pup!

Khloe

Jack Russell Terrier/Schnauzer (Miniature)

Female, Young

Boulder, CO

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats,

Story

Kloe is a 16lb, 1 year old, Terrier/Schnauzer mix.  Here is what her foster Momma has to say about her: "We’ve only had her a couple days but she is adjusting so well and she is soooo smart. She understands the kennel, knows how to play fetch,is learning how to sit and is housebroken. She is very curious about our big dog and gets along with her well. She loves my 9 year old niece and was very interested when she heard neighbor kids outside. She is getting better on walks but at first seemed a little nervous about other dogs and people, the big outdoor world seems a litle new to her but she is learning and adapting quickly.  She likes to jump (but she’s so small and gentle) and likes to nibble on fingers (if it can even be called nibbling - it’s more like holding your hand in her mouth when she says hi haha) but she’s still a puppy! That being said, she’s past the age I think of being a crazy puppy. She is a medium activity dog - she likes to go on walks and play fetch in the yard, but wants to be picked up and cuddled too. Her favorite spot to be is on the couch next to her humans. If you like to hike, I’m sure she would love to join. She loves being picked up and hugged/carried and she doesn’t fuss at all before bed and will just lay down on her own. She would be happy in a home with or without kids and with or without other dogs, just someone who will give her a some activity during the day and definitely keep her mind active, and cuddle with her on the couch." If you are interested in adopting Khloe, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2021803##

Theo

Labrador Retriever

Male, 4 mos

Littleton, CO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Theo is a 4 month old lab mix. He’s 20lbs and fully vaccinated. He has a beautiful black shiny short coat with a white chest and big floppy ears. He is doing well with his potty training with frequent potty breaks. Theo is fun, active, but loves to take naps too! He’s very affectionate and will definitely want to cuddle a lot. His current foster mom spoils him with treats and toys. He sits and waits while she fixes his meals. He does great around other dogs and leaves the cats alone. He is happy being the follower and isn’t bossy. Theo does cry in the crate but gives in after a few minutes. He can’t wait to meet his new family!
