Story
Minnie’s journey is one that tugs at the heartstrings and showcases the incredible power of love and perseverance. When she arrived at a shelter in Texas in late August, she was one of the worst cases of neglect they had ever seen. It’s heartbreaking to think of how many people passed her by in this bustling metropolitan city, unaware of the suffering she was enduring. Thankfully, someone finally took notice and brought her to us, giving her a chance at a new life. Initially, Minnie was placed on the euthanasia list due to her severe condition. With malnutrition, skin and eye infections, and a fear of the world around her, it seemed like her story might end too soon. But we couldn’t let go of her; she had already captured our hearts. With the support of our dedicated medical team and two incredible foster caregivers, we committed to helping Minnie heal. Minnie faced numerous challenges, including carpal hyperextension due to chronic malnutrition. Our veterinary team advised us to gradually increase her activity level, believing that time, good nutrition, and playtime with other dogs would help her legs strengthen. With patience and love, we watched as Minnie’s transformation began.  Fast forward four months, and we are overjoyed to share that Minnie is now a vibrant, playful puppy! She’s running, playing with her furry friends, and showing us the joy of life that she so deserves. Her coat is growing in beautifully, hinting at her retriever mix heritage, and she’s blossoming into the loving companion we always knew she could be. Now, all Minnie needs is a forever home to complete her incredible story. It’s time for Minnie to leave her past behind and start a bright new chapter filled with love, adventure, and happiness. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this resilient girl, Minnie is waiting to meet you! Let’s give her the forever family she deserves and show her that kindness is the norm in this world.

She’s very content and happy.  Minnie is fully house trained and learns things very quickly.  She absolutely LOVES to go for walks. She gets so excited and jumps around.  Minnie sits for the leash and treats.  She organizes all her stuffed animals and chews around her in the crate too, she loves her new life.  There is a cat that likes to lay in our back yard (not ours).  The cat doesn’t run when Minnie approaches.  Minnie gets close to her and whines and woofs at her to try to get her to move.  When she doesn’t, Minnie loses interest and goes about her business. We think she would do great with cats in a home as well.  Minnie was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas. Meet and greets are by appointment only.  An approved application is required to schedule a meeting. Check out our events page for upcoming open adoption events! We have no additional back story or update for this dog at this time.  When we do, it will be updated here.  This is all the information we have currently. Approved Applicants may make the adoption fee payment by clicking donate above.  Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. Dogs adopted with our rescue come with FREE training from #GoodPup to help you build strong bonds from the start! If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded. Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free Pet insurance.  We are not affiliated with Pet First pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect).  Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico.  While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.   More questions?  Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/  Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.  A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs.  Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive.  From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639 ##2270320##

Story
Hi, I`m Hazel! I`m an energetic girl that loves soft treats, sniffing around, and can sometimes get really excited but treats help me focus. I take a moment to warm up to people so please let me come to you first. I would prefer being the only dog in the home as I can get over-excited and push boundaries. With some training and lots of treats, I`d be a great addition for you!

Story
Meet Jamboree! This energetic boy is ready to turn your home into a party! Jamboree came in as a stray, so his past is a bit of a mystery, but one thing’s for sure—he’s got energy to spare! Jamboree needs an active home where he can run, play, and get plenty of mental stimulation. He’s still learning the ropes, so training classes will help him shine. Jamboree can be pushy with other dogs, so slow, respectful introductions are key.
