Story
Meet Winnie! This little gal has a big underbite and came from a hoarding situation along with Bubbles, Booger, Prissy, and Boo Bear. Our rescue partner says they are all great pups who love to snuggle other dogs! From Winnie's foster: "This gal is the sweetest girl you'll ever meet; Winnie has made a complete 360 turnaround; when Winnie came into our home, she was timid and quiet; throughout our time together, I have watched her go out of her shell. Winnie loves to sit outside, sunbathe, and have the wind blow through her hair. She especially enjoys long naps and lots of cuddles! Winnie gets along with children of all ages, cats, dogs, and chickens. Winnie would make a great fit in any home. I know she will steal your heart the way she stole mine! I can't wait for you to meet her!" ADOPTION FEE: $300 We are a foster-based rescue and generally do not have pups available to meet at our office except during adoption events on Saturdays.

Meet Boo Bear! This little guy looks like he's from prehistoric times with those teeth! He came from a hoarding situation along with Bubbles, Winnie, Prissy, and Booger. Our rescue partner says they are all great pups who love to snuggle other dogs! From his current foster: "BooBear is timid at first but warms up quickly! He loves cuddling on the couch and walks. He is dog and cat friendly and potty trained and crate trained."

Meet Prissy! This tiny gal came from a hoarding situation along with Bubbles, Winnie, Booger, and Boo Bear. Our rescue partner says they are all great pups who love to snuggle other dogs! From Prissy's current foster: "Hey there, I'm Prissy - your soon-to-be partner-in-crime and resident goofball of the dog world! Yep, my name might sound all fancy, but don't worry, I'm just as down-to-earth as they come. Picture this: me, lounging in your arms like a furry little monarch, soaking up all the attention and treats I can get my paws on. Oh, the life of luxury! Now, let's talk dining. I'm a bit of a foodie, you see. From filet mignon to the occasional fallen French fry (hey, waste not, want not, am I right?), I've got a taste for the finer things in life. And if I don't get my way? Well, let's just say I've got a bark that could rival a howler monkey. Potty training? It's a work in progress, my friend. I've got the whole peeing outside thing down to a science, but when it comes to number two...let's just say I'm still figuring out the logistics. But hey, who needs a fancy toilet when you've got a plush carpet, am I right? Talk about luxury! At night, I'm a regular party animal - barking at shadows, chasing my tail, you name it. And when I'm all partied out, there's nothing I love more than snuggling up close and dreaming of tomorrow's adventures. So, if you're in the market for a furry friend who's equal parts charm, quirk, and downright hilarity, look no further than yours truly. Swing by and meet me today - I promise to keep you laughing 'til the cows come home!"

Story
Heather is a sweet Maltese that is currently being fostered with one of our dog trainers that specializes in timid, shy dogs.  She is a breeder release and is guessed to be around 6-7 years old.   She is absolutely adorable and her foster mom says she is making great progress but is still very nervous around new people. She is quiet  and wants so badly to come close but is still quite nervous. She is fully kennel trained and loves, loves, loves her kennel, it is her safe place.  She loves to be out in the dog run and is potty trained at her foster mom's house. She has just started learning to walk on a leash but will need someone to introduce her to the world slowly to give her time to adjust to her new life. There are lots of other dogs at her foster moms house so we know she is dog friendly, her foster doesn't have any cats but thinks she would be fine with them if introduced properly.  She thinks she would do better in a home with a confident dog or in a quiet home with adults or older quiet kids only. She will need an adopter who will give her love and patience. Please consider this adorable girl as a part of your new family. She deserves all the love in the world and will give you a lifetime of love.  The shy dogs become the most loyal dogs and LOVE LOVE LOVE their humans.  She has so much love to give and is looking for her FurEver Home. Her foster mom is located in Fort Collins Colorado and wants to find a patient adopter who is willing to help her continue with her training and help her gain confidence either with in person, or virtual training session(s). She will provide a discount on training.  The amount of training needed will depend on the knowledge and experience of the adopter and how far along Heather is at the time of adoption.

Story
Laverne is a lovable, 10 year old, female, Maltese. She joined MHCR as a transfer from another CO shelter where she came in as part of a large surrender. Laverne is house trained, good with respectful children, and has really taken to her foster dad. His chest is her favorite to snuggle on. Laverne is dog friendly and while she doesn’t love her crate she will tolerate it. She’d likely do best on a quiet home with another dog or two and a secure yard. Laverne is in foster in Loveland, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/laverne/. You can apply for our wonderful dogs at https://www.milehighcanine.org/adopt/adoption-application/.
