Story
Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Pochocco #1 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 in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Pochacco | 5–6-month-old Husky | A shy soul with a playful husky heart Pochacco (affectionately called “Muchacho” by his foster family) is a young Husky pup who is still learning that the world—and the humans in it—can be a safe and wonderful place. At just 5–6 months old, he’s a big boy already and growing into his classic husky personality: playful, curious, vocal at times, and full of potential. Pochacco is still working on house training and is very close, though adopters should expect some regression in a new environment. He does best when crated while humans are away or at night, as he is very much in his “naughty husky puppy” stage and will happily chew on items left within reach. Pochacco is extremely shy with people and currently fearful of leashes, making walks a work in progress. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, his fosters believe he will gain confidence over time. For now, he gets his exercise playing chase and wrestling with other dogs in the yard, which is where he truly shines. He is very much a “dog’s dog” and absolutely loves other dogs, happily playing as long as they’ll tolerate him. He does well with cats, mostly ignoring them unless another dog starts a chase. This sweet boy loves toys, treats, and other dogs, and while he isn’t quite ready for cuddles yet, he enjoys being near his people and observing from a comfortable distance. Pochacco will need a calm, patient adopter with husky experience (or a strong willingness to learn), a securely fenced yard, and a commitment to ongoing training, socialization, and exercise. With time and understanding, Pochacco has all the makings of a loyal, fun-loving companion who just needs someone willing to let him move at his own pace. 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 $450 (includes a $50 refundable puppy training deposit). Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all 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. 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! December 28, 2025, 10:34 am
