Story
Meet Flower – A Sweet Girl with Brighter Days Ahead Flower is a Rat Terrier with a friendly personality, a curious spirit, and a growing appreciation for just how wonderful her rescued life can be. This sweet girl enjoys exploring her surroundings, following interesting smells, and spending time outside taking in everything around her. She's also perfectly happy finding a warm patch of sunshine and settling in for a little basking. Flower is learning that life can be filled with fresh air, kind people, new experiences, and plenty of reasons to enjoy each day. Flower likes other dogs and enjoys their company. She could happily share her future home with a friendly canine companion, but she would also be perfectly content as the only dog with plenty of love and attention from her people. Before Flower can start looking for her forever family, however, she has one important stop to make. Flower will be transferring to our Colorado campus, where she will undergo surgery to repair a hernia. She is not currently available for adoption, but once her repair is completed and she is medically ready, she will become available for adoption in Colorado. For now, Flower's job is simply to keep enjoying her new life while we make sure she receives the medical care she needs. She may not know it yet, but some very big changes are ahead. First comes healing. Then comes home. And we have a feeling the very best part of Flower's story is still waiting to bloom. 🌸❤️ ------ 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.

Story
Meet Twotwo! Twotwo is an 8-year-old Rat Terrier weighing 25 pounds. This sweet boy can be a little shy at first, but once he feels comfortable, his gentle personality begins to shine. He especially enjoys treats, which can be a great way to help him feel comfortable and build a bond with his new family. Twotwo requires a home with another dog already present. Having a canine companion will provide him with companionship and help him feel more secure as he adjusts to his new surroundings. Twotwo also requires a securely fenced yard where he can safely enjoy outdoor time. His new family should be patient and willing to give him the time and positive experiences he needs to build confidence and settle into his new home. Twotwo has special medical needs related to a throat abnormality. Potential adopters will need to be aware of his medical needs and should review the Special Medical Needs information for additional details. Our team will be happy to discuss his condition and care needs with interested adopters during the adoption process. A required in-person meet and greet at our shelter is part of the adoption process to help ensure a good fit for Twotwo, his potential adopters, and any resident dogs. With patience, a canine companion, and a family willing to let him settle in at his own pace, Twotwo has the potential to become a wonderful and loving companion.

Story
Velcro is an 8-year-old, 23-pound Rat Terrier who may be a little shy when you first meet her. She may need some time to warm up and feel comfortable in her new surroundings, but with patience and gentle encouragement, she is ready to show you her sweet personality. Velcro does well around other dogs and may do best in a home with canine companions. Having another dog around may help her feel more comfortable as she settles into her new home. Velcro is still learning her leash skills and is not yet fully comfortable navigating the world on leash. For her safety while she adjusts and continues building these skills, a secure, fenced-in yard is required. A meet-and-greet at the shelter is required to help ensure Velcro is a good match for her potential family and any resident dogs. If you're looking for a sweet older girl who just needs a little time to settle in and would enjoy having a canine friend by her side, Velcro may be the perfect match! ------ Many NMDR dogs have had limited prior socialization and may need time, patience, and support as they adjust to home life.
