Story
MEET BUG — BIG PERSONALITY, WORLD-CLASS SNUGGLES! Bug has never met a stranger! This affectionate, confident little guy loves meeting people and brings plenty of enthusiasm to everything he does. He enjoys his favorite stuffed toys, spending time with his dog buddies, and settling in for snuggles. Great with other dogs: Bug has met dogs of different sizes and breeds and has been friendly with them. Making excellent house-training progress: No accidents since his previous foster update! A lovely walking companion: He walks well on a leash, both alone and alongside other dogs. Friendly with children he’s met: Bug doesn’t currently live with children, but he has done well with those he’s met outside the home. Bug is still learning that cats aren’t chase partners. Fast movements can tempt him to give chase, although he’s improving with guidance. A home with cats would need careful introductions, supervision, and continued training. He can also guard bones or other prized chews around dogs, so those special treats should be enjoyed separately. Bug’s ideal home: People who enjoy companionship and cuddles—and will help him keep building good habits. He has an active personality, but his family will need to follow his veterinary team’s activity restrictions while he undergoes treatment. Medical update: Bug is heartworm positive and is currently undergoing treatment. Denkai can discuss his treatment plan, activity restrictions, and ongoing care needs with interested adopters.

Story
This pup will be available to meet starting on 10/24 SNAGGLE — THE TOOTH, THE WHOLE TOOTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TOOTH!   Some dogs have perfect smiles. Snaggle has something even better: a smile with PERSONALITY and a little extra tooth sticking out to make sure you notice him!   Meet Snaggle, a 3.8-year-old, 24-lb neutered Terrier with the most ridiculously adorable snaggletooth and a heart that's somehow even cuter than his face!   Snaggle arrived at the shelter as an unclaimed stray, but this sweet little gentleman hasn't let that dampen his spirits one bit! He absolutely LOVES people, gets along wonderfully with dogs big and small, and believes everyone he meets is a potential new best friend.   And despite being a grown man with nearly four years of life experience, Snaggle would like everyone to know that he is, in fact, JUST A BABY. Pick him up, cradle him in your arms, and he'll happily accept his rightful position as your precious little bundle of joy. Personal space? Never heard of it.   He's also quite the social butterfly! Snaggle had a blast romping around with his doggy friends during our foam party, proving he's equally happy getting silly with the crew or being carried around like the tiny prince he is. He walks well on leash, seems potty trained, and at 24 lbs, he's the perfect medium-sized adventure buddy!   Snaggle is ready to trade his days as an unclaimed stray for a lifetime of Colorado adventures, cozy couches, doggy friendships, and humans who appreciate a smile that's just a little crooked.   He's sweet, social, silly, and about as lovable as they come. And that little tooth? That's just his signature feature.   Snaggle isn't asking for much. Just a family to love, a place to belong, and someone willing to hold their nearly four-year-old baby whenever he requests it. They were rescued from a shelter in New Mexico. 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 using the link in their approval email.  Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. 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 are non refundable once a pet is taken home.  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 MetLife 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 in Colorado, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances delaying pick up. Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.  ##2871605##

Story
Kato is a springy, cuddly rat terrier puppy. He loves to spend time on his bed, go for walks, and run around in the backyard. His big ol' ears and attentive, eager-to-learn spirit help his good manners and training sessions. At just 6 months, he's already proven himself to be a well-minded, smart puppy, full of energy. Commands that he already knows: sit, down, place, off, come, crate, stay.Why do we need to rehome? We work demanding jobs and are not able to be home as often as Kato needs. Kato has some separation issues and needs more time than we can give to really helping him through that. We want to give him to family who can be there for him to train him through that, so that he can really thrive. His toys (including his favorite "Patch") and food will be included.

Story
Meet our adorable rat terrier puppy Rosa. She is around 5lbs and 5 months old.  Here is a video of Rosa and her sister Osoro:https://youtu.be/Felu2535QNA We don't know much about the background of Rosa or her sister Osoro. We do believe they are related even though they look quite different to each other. They are typical friendly and playful puppies, relatively confident around dogs of all sizes. They are a little vocal, especially around new dogs. They are comfortable being handled and are excited to see their foster parent however, they can be very shy and usually avoid being handled as best they can. The foster usually corrals them and scoops them up to crate them overnight. They sleep quietly through the night in their crate without any accidents. Their foster lets them out in the morning and they run riot in the backyard all day. With a little bit of human attention, they should quickly grow in confidence and seek out human affection. She is vaccinated, spayed and microchipped.  Rosa knows just how miraculous a turn her life has taken when she was picked out by Havok's Wolfpack and she is determined to live her new life to the fullest, hopefully, with you. Her adoption fee is $600. To submit an adoption application for her, head over to our website (please ignore the error code, the form will load correctly):http://www.havokswolfpack.com/adopt/ or you can use this link https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/18644/generic If your application is approved, we will contact you promptly. ##2867246##

Story
Meet Komere! Komere is a fun-loving 1-year-old Rat Terrier who is ready to find his forever home! This handsome young guy is friendly with both people and other dogs and absolutely loves spending time with his canine friends. Komere is an outgoing, social boy who enjoys attention, playtime, and being around his favorite people. He gets along great with other dogs and truly enjoys their company. Because canine companionship is important to him, Komere requires a home with another people- and dog-social dog who can be his friend and companion. At just one year old, Komere has plenty of energy and will benefit from a family that can provide him with exercise, enrichment, training, and plenty of opportunities to play. He also requires a securely fenced yard where he can safely run around, explore, and enjoy his playful side. A required in-person meet and greet at our shelter is part of the adoption process to help ensure a good fit for Komere, any resident dogs, and his potential adopters. If you're looking for a friendly, playful young dog who loves people and other dogs, Komere could be the perfect addition to your family! ------ Many NMDR dogs have had limited prior socialization and may need time, patience, and support as they adjust to home life. Skills such as house training, leash walking, and handling may require continued practice. Progress will vary by individual dog. Homes with older children are often a good fit, depending on temperament. To learn more about NMDR and our adoption process, please visit our website.
