Story
Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Fenway 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) . Fenway | 8-year-old mixed breed | The Goofy Gentleman Fenway is an 8-year-old mix of many breeds, and he’s perfected the balance of being a true gentleman with just the right touch of goofy charm. At a compact 40 pounds, he’s the ideal size for couch snuggles, leisurely road trips, or riding shotgun with his head on the center console, keeping watch over every mile. Though Fenway’s journey included some shuffling around before he landed in his foster home, he’s shown nothing but resilience and heart. Once he feels safe and learns the routine, his little tail starts wagging more often, and his signature “Yoda ears” never fail to make people smile. He’s a mellow, low-to-medium energy guy who enjoys lounging nearby, taking laid-back strolls, and napping his way through your workday. Fenway comes with a long list of highlights: he’s almost fully house-trained with excellent manners, crate-trained (though he much prefers free roam—and has earned the privilege), and good on leash. Walks are a joy for him, even if he occasionally pauses to investigate an irresistible scent. A quick “come” usually gets him back on track, unless a squirrel decides to stare him down. While he can politely coexist with other dogs in public, Fenway prefers to keep his castle to himself and would do best as the only dog in his home. He loves people—both men and women—but like the dignified gentleman he is, he appreciates calm introductions and not being startled from his naps. Kids and cats haven’t been tested yet, but he’d likely thrive in a peaceful home without a lot of hustle and bustle. Fenway has some charming quirks: he makes soft, groany “songs” when he’s content, offers his paw for attention, flops over for belly rubs with gusto, and tucks his front legs under in what his foster calls his “seal pose.” He isn’t much for toys, but squirrels are a different story. He’s also food motivated (salmon is his favorite!) and is picking up commands like “wait” for meals and “go home” for his crate. When Fenway first arrived, he was recovering from a painful ear infection, which understandably made him cautious. Since starting treatment, he’s relaxed, shown his affectionate side, and become more comfortable with gentle approaches—especially when he’s sleeping or approached from his right side. He may get vocal when left alone but settles down once he realizes all is well. Fenway’s ideal home is a calm, steady one where he can feel safe, loved, and appreciated for the wonderful companion he is. He’s not asking for much - just someone who will enjoy his mellow vibe, laugh at his quirky poses, and give him space to continue blossoming into the loyal, snuggly buddy he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a faithful companion for lazy mornings, Netflix marathons, and quiet evenings, Fenway might just be your guy. 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 $375. 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! September 23, 2025, 3:47 pm
