Story
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.Name's Mozzarella, paperwork says Liam, but my foster human knew I was cheesy the moment I walked in the door. I respond to Mozzy, Littles, and “Treat?”.Age: 8 months.Height: unnecessarily tall for reasons that will become clear. Legs. For. Days.Build: part Golden Retriever, part Great Pyrenees, and what seems to be part gazelle, which basically means I'm built like a committee that couldn't agree on a single design so they went for optimal handsomeness.Looking for: Family and best friends. I mean, as far as I'm concerned, we already are — we just haven't met yet. That goes for humans and dogs. Especially dogs. I will walk up to any dog, of any size, and propose eternal friendship on the spot. A backyard and sibling pup would be the best environment.My love language is sitting proper and against your leg and staring up at you like you personally hung the moon, until you pet me. Did I mention I was charming? I don't know who taught me that move, but I've perfected it. I am a bit of a talker — communication is important, but I will say there is rarely reason to yell (bark)! I don't pull on the leash and not only am I potty trained, I use the doggy door like a big boy! I go to bed like a champ too — a treat or two, into the kennel, lights out. I might grumble for a minute out of principle, but I settle fast and sleep the whole night through.Hobbies include: Wrestling my seven-year-old lab housemate, tug of war, fetch, exploring, sticks (LOVE a good stick), toys of all kinds, and snuggles. I’m pretty curious about the world. I don’t destroy things but I am a bit of a relocation specialist, I’ll let you know what room I think that item belongs in and even move it for you! I'm working on sit, down, and come — I've got them nailed when treats are on the table, and I'm a respectable coin flip without one. Also learning to shake, I take a handshake very seriously, entering into agreements is serious business.Other pets: Dogs? Say less, I’m in. My lab housemate can be a bit prickly at times. I read her cues really well and know when it is time to chill out. Cats? Their boops can be intense but they make good cuddle buddies when they let me.Kids: I’m not being fostered with kids but have been around a few. My foster mom thinks I’d be great with kind, respectful kiddos! I mean, I’m a total sweetheart with everyone I meet!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).Meeting Dogs: Foster dogs may have meet and greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process. We will not respond to emails about animal availability or allow meet and greets without an approved adoption application on file. Please Note: Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption. We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for one year from the date of applying for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle. We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!August 31, 2026, 2:15 am
