Story
Granny arrives in Colorado Saturday 2/7/2026 and needs a committed foster home or adopter to welcome her! Granny is a 4-5 year old, small but mighty 10 pound Terrier mix who was running the streets of Texas. No, not like the mafia, running with her legs. She wasn't going to trust just anybody with a piece of burger, who knows what she's been through, so she had to be trapped. Once brought into a safe home, it took her a few days to warm up so she will need an understanding and patient adopter to allow for some decompression time. Once she's built some trust and comfy cozy, she will roll over and show you her belly. It's important that you rub that belly. Granny is missing an eye but she isn't in any pain or require any current or future treatment. It was decided not to remove her eye as it would have been strictly for cosmetic purposes and she was already a babe who didn't need to be put through a surgery after all she's been through.  Granny loves a good snuggle under the blankets. If she is "missing," you might want to go check for a peaceful, napping Granny underneath a blanket pile. She also loves going outside and running through the tunnels at her rescuers house. A good mix of energy and chill. Granny can live with or without dogs- she's good with other dogs but doesn’t play with them. She's good with kids, crate trained, mostly potty trained and never barks. She's not super into walking on leash so she'd do best with a yard and someone willing to encourage and work on leash training so she can benefit from all the adventures a leash can lead to. Granny is currently living in a foster home in San Antonio, Texas, awaiting an adopter or open foster home in Colorado to bring her up and into their home! ***Granny is being posted on behalf of our partner rescue in Texas- the process and adoption will go through them. The adoption fee does not include the transport fee (usually $125-200/dog).*** Red Fern Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foster-based animal rescue in Denver that saves animals from abandonment and neglect in South Texas for new lives in Colorado. We primarily rescue dogs off the streets and from kill shelters in San Antonio. ##2650481##

Story
Meet Coral! She is one (initially) shy but sweet ray of sunshine. She was, unfortunately, owner-surrendered with her puppy in San Antonio. Luckily she is ready for a fresh start in Colorado! Coral loves to sunbathe, snuggle, and is completely housebroken. She gets along with other dogs although she would be fine as the only dog in her home. She is most interested in hanging with her person! If you're looking for a "stage 4 clinger", then Coral's your girl!  Coral is currently living in a foster home in Colorado watching soaps and rom-coms, wondering if she'll ever find love again, but holding on to the idea that an adopter will reach out.  ***Coral is being posted on behalf of our partner rescue in Texas- the process and adoption will go through them. Red Fern Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foster-based animal rescue in Denver that saves animals from abandonment and neglect in South Texas for new lives in Colorado.

Story
Lashes arrives in Colorado Saturday 2/7/2026 and needs a committed foster home or adopter to welcome her! Lashes was found as a stray running the streets in the Rio Grande Valley on the Texas/Mexico border. Unfortunately, nobody has the good sense to claim, or reclaim, this sweetie- their loss! You're in the unique position to claim her and give her a furever home!   From foster: “She is very sweet, definitely a kisser, she stays in her crate with no issues when we have to leave, if loose in the house we just gotta keep an eye on her since she is a chewer, she doesn’t like when my big dog gets close to her crate and she is scared to play with her since she is too big, she waits until I take her out to potty so no accidents in her crate at all, she likes all people including my 8 years old. “She is not a barker she is a very quiet girl unless my big dog walks by her crate when I’m taking her out since I take them separately. Energy level? “I will say she is 5 out of 10, she still has energy to play and run but if I take her to bed with me it takes her maybe 5 minutes to stop kissing haha and then takes a nap next to me” Lashes is currently living in a foster home in San Antonio, Texas, awaiting an adopter or open foster home in Colorado to bring her up and into their home. ***Lashes is being posted on behalf of our partner rescue in Texas- the process and adoption will go through them. The adoption fee does not include the transport fee (usually $125-200/dog).*** Red Fern Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foster-based animal rescue in Denver that saves animals from abandonment and neglect in South Texas for new lives in Colorado.

Story
Meet Rony  At just 4 months old and a teeny 4 pounds, Rony is a pocket-sized burst of happiness! This tiny guy is a bundle of fun and energy, always ready to play, cuddle, or trot after you with his wiggly enthusiasm. He’s got that irresistible puppy curiosity, a heart full of love, and a face that makes you smile without even trying.  Rony may be small, but his personality is huge—he’s the kind of pup who will turn everyday moments into adventures and nap time into the coziest part of your day. If you’re looking for a best friend who fits perfectly in your lap (and your heart), Rony is ready to meet you and start his forever story. Warning: adopting Rony may result in excessive smiles, happy chaos, and lifelong love. Rony is working on potty training and doing great, especially for such a young puppy; you just have to watch him very closely. He is really good in his crate and sleeps through the night entirely in the crate. Rony is being fostered in Denver, Colorado- available to meet! Red Fern Animal Rescue offers a two week foster to adopt trial in your home before finalizing the adoption to ensure the animal is the right fit for you, everyone in the home, human & animal, and vice versa.
