Story
My MIL found this sweet guy a few months back. He was very malnourished and in rough shape. She works for a vet and together they were able to nurse him back to health. He is potty trained and crate trained. He is playful and loves other dogs. He loves people!!!. He really enjoys playing with his toys. He needs training on not jumping up on people. My MIL is in her 70s, had two knee replacements and already has a house of rescues. She did a great job saving this guy but she understands she is not the best fit for his forever home. We brought him back to Colorado after the holiday in hopes that we could find him a fun active home. We have fostered with RMPR for over 5 years and will continue to foster him, love him and take great care of him until he finds a home. We have all his vet records. He is up to date on everything and neutered. We think he is about 2 years old or younger. Both my dogs really like to play with him. He has been a great housemate and not food aggressive.

Story
Angelo is an angel, hence the name! He is sweet, loving & chill. He loves to play with other dogs but can also relax at home with his people. He rarely barks and sometimes needs a moment to make sure you’re safe, but he warms up quickly to everyone. Angelo has young dog energy but is also very relaxed. He LOVES to run around at the dog park and chase bunnies and squirrels - though if they actually get close, he’s a total scaredy cat! He’s crate-trained but doesn’t love being crated by himself during the day, but deals with it pretty well and is used to someone being gone for up to 6-7 hours. Angelo is great with kids and other dogs, but would do best in a home without a cat as he thinks they are his play things! He’ll thrive in a home with a yard and plenty of playtime. He's house-trained, walks well on a leash, knows basic commands, and loves treats. He's microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to bring love and joy to his next family

Story
Meet the Cutest Little PugChi Looking for a New Home! This adorable 10 year old chihuahua mix is as charming as she is wiggly, lovingly nicknamed puggle-butt because of her cute little hops and wiggles that greet you every time she gets excited. Her mama recently passed away, and due to health issues, her dad can no longer care for her. She’s been deeply loved her whole life, and now she’s ready to bring that love into a new forever home. What She Loves: • Cats! She would love a home with a kitty companion. • Other dogs — she gets along great with them. • Long, leisurely strolls where she can sniff every leaf, chase grasshoppers, and gently inspect sidewalk worms. • Exploring the outdoors at an easygoing pace with her human. • Mealtime — picky about treats, but absolutely here for breakfast and dinner! She’s an outdoorsy little soul with a soft heart and a curious spirit. If you enjoy slow walks, simple joys, and a sweet companion who just wants to sniff the world with you, she may be your perfect match. If you or someone you know would love a loyal, quirky, and gentle girl to share life with, please reach out. She’s ready to wiggle her way into someone’s heart. If you're interested in meeting me please fill out an application at www.thegooddogrescue.org (If you already have an approved application, please email thegooddogrescueadoptions@gmail.com with your interest in me!) My adoption fee is $250 and I am spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations  ##2592199##

Story
Hi I'm Boone. I might be the sweetest boy you've ever met and I give the best hugs. My motto in life is play hard, cuddle hard. Playing with other dogs and running around outside are my favorite things to do. I can’t deny that I am fascinated by bunnies and squirrels, I might need some help focusing! The only thing I like more than playing with other dogs is getting love from my family. I admit, I do like women more than men, and start out a little uncomfortable around strangers. If cuddling was an Olympic sport, I would win the gold medal. I'm pretty chill and up for just about any adventure. I'm also super smart and learn quickly. I am good on my leash but I do need some more training, that’s for sure, those mountain bikers totally worry me. Lucky for us, the rescue has free training classes for adopters!  If you're interested in meeting me please fill out an application at www.thegooddogrescue.org (If you already have an approved application, please email thegooddogrescueadoptions@gmail.com with your interest in me!) My adoption fee is $200 and I am neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. It also covers 1 private session with our trainer  ##2180928##

Story
Meet Agnes!  At just 6 pounds, Agnes may be tiny—but her heart is full of potential. This petite Chihuahua is a sweet soul who blossoms with time, patience, and love. Once she feels safe, Agnes reveals her snuggly, playful side and will happily curl up beside you or bounce around with joy. Agnes is currently working on her potty training and socialization, and she’s making steady progress with the help of her foster family. She’s already kennel trained and finds comfort in having a cozy space to call her own. She thrives when she’s near her people and would do best in a calm, adult-only home where she can continue building confidence at her own pace. Agnes has a soft spot for her canine companion, Edith, and while they’re somewhat bonded, we believe Agnes could also thrive as a solo pup in the right home. What she needs most is someone who understands that trust takes time—and is willing to continue her training journey with kindness and consistency. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who just needs a chance to shine, Agnes might be your perfect match. If you're interested in meeting her please fill out an application at www.thegooddogrescue.org (If you already have an approved application, please email thegooddogrescueadoptions@gmail.com with your interest in me!) Her adoption fee is $300 and she is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations ##2555725##

Story
Meet Edith!   Edith is a delicate blend of Chihuahua and Chinese Crested charm, with a quiet spirit and a heart that’s learning to trust. She’s more independent than her buddy Agnes, but don’t let that fool you—Edith has a soft spot for snuggles once she feels safe. This shy girl is still working on her socialization, and she’s making gentle progress every day. She’s kennel trained and finds comfort in routine, especially when paired with a calm, confident canine companion. Edith absolutely loves going for walks—it’s her favorite way to explore the world and build confidence at her own pace. Edith would thrive in a home with another dog who’s patient and tolerant, someone who can model social behavior and help her feel secure. A quieter household without children would be ideal, giving her the space and stability she needs to continue blossoming. If you’re someone who understands that trust takes time and are ready to offer Edith the gentle guidance she deserves, she’ll reward you with quiet loyalty and tender moments that feel truly special. If you're interested in meeting her please fill out an application at www.thegooddogrescue.org (If you already have an approved application, please email thegooddogrescueadoptions@gmail.com with your interest in her!) Her adoption fee is $300 and she will be spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations prior to adoption ##2555726##
