Story
Snuggles arrives in Colorado Saturday 2/7/2026 and needs a committed foster home or adopter to welcome him! You usually associate Snuggles with sleep and relaxing, but this boy is very energetic! His rescuers fave thing about him- he doesn’t need another dog to play. If he has his toys, he will run into the yard and toss toys for himself. He loves being outdoors, it can be hard to get him inside. He sunbathes. He loves other dogs and kids. When you pick him up, he paddle his little legs likes he's swimming It would be just plain cruel if Snuggles wasn't also a... snuggler. Snuggles is crate trained, doesn’t potty in crate, but does need to go straight outside to potty- he's about 80% there. Snuggles is currently living in a foster home in San Antonio, Texas, awaiting an adopter or open foster home in Colorado to bring him up and into their home! ***Snuggles 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. ##2651402##

Story
Meet Kiwi — a gentle, loving soul who thrives on companionship. He’s happiest when he’s close to his person, whether it’s sitting quietly at your feet or snuggled in your lap for hours. Kiwi’s heart is full of affection, and he’s always eager to make you smile. As a young puppy, Kiwi bravely battled a severe case of parvo. He doesn’t always recognize or communicate when he needs to go outside, and sometimes he can’t hold it in time. He’s making progress as he grows, and with patience, consistency, and loving guidance, we’re convinced he’ll continue to improve even more. Kiwi’s sweetness, loyalty, and loving nature make every bit of extra care more than worthwhile. He will need a securely fenced yard where he can safely play and stretch his legs. His adoption fee of $375 includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccinations. We’re located in the Colorado Springs area and require a home visit as part of the adoption process. If you think you might be the right match for Kiwi, please apply at www.whimperstowags.org under the “Forms” section. Thank you for considering giving this special boy the home he truly deserves!May 7, 2025, 12:11 am

Story
Freddie is an 8-pound, 9-year-old Shih Tzu with a sweet, gentle personality and a friendly heart. He enjoys being around people and is generally easygoing, especially once he’s had a little time to settle in and feel comfortable. Freddie gets along well with other dogs and may do best with a canine companion in the home. Having another dog around can help him feel more confident and secure as he adjusts to new surroundings. Because a good match is important, a meet-and-greet at the shelter is required to ensure everyone is comfortable. While Freddie is affectionate, he also appreciates having his own time and space. He’s looking for a patient, understanding home that will allow him to move at his own pace and respect his need for quiet moments. A calm environment with gentle routines will help him thrive. With patience, kindness, and possibly another dog by his side, Freddie has all the makings of a loving and loyal companion. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog’s individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
