Story
Kitkat was rescued from a shelter in Colorado. 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 clicking donate above.  Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. Dogs adopted with our rescue come with FREE training from #GoodPup to help you build strong bonds from the start! 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 include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free Pet insurance.  We are not affiliated with Pet First 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 during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.   More questions?  Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/  Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.  A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs.  Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive.  From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639 ##2039492##

Story
Rhino is a very lovable boy, full of energy and LOVES to play fetch with squeaky toys. He is very smart, yet still has some issues to work on. He can be in a home with other dogs, but preferably female dogs. He can be around other male dogs, but is slightly aggressive at first until he gets to know them. We are choosing to re-home him as he was supposed to be a playmate for our other dog and unfortunately his presence has made her revert back to some old ways.

Story
Meet Milo, a charming male Shih Tzu poodle mix weighing 9 pounds. Initially reserved, Milo prefers to stay in the back of his kennel when visitors arrive, showing his anxiety through barking and occasional growling. Though he won't take treats directly from hands, he'll happily enjoy them if tossed to him. Despite his initial apprehension, Milo's bravery is slowly growing, occasionally venturing towards the front of his kennel when feeling more comfortable. He shows a fondness for other dogs and, with patience, will cautiously sniff and assess human visitors. Milo's love for toys is evident, and he enjoys choosing his canine companions carefully. With a need for understanding and patience, Milo awaits a home that will help him overcome his fears and blossom into the confident dog he was meant to be. He is awaiting adoption at the National Mill Dog Rescue.----- Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization. As a result, there is often an adjustment period when learning about life as a family pet. We typically do not adopt to homes with young children. Homes with older children will be considered on an individual basis. Common skills such as house training and leash walking will often take a little extra time. Patience, understanding and a gentle hand are a must. The great news is, most of these dogs come around rather quickly and being a part of their rehabilitation is an extremely rewarding experience.

Story
Hey there, I'm Cindy, a vibrant Shih Tzu weighing a petite 8 pounds. Living in a foster home has been quite the journey for me! Despite facing challenges with my jaw, I'm a resilient little lady who savors every thick soup meal with gusto. My sassy personality adds a spark to every moment, and I'm mastering new skills like navigating patio steps and honing my training. Car rides are a delight, and I'm happiest when surrounded by calm canine companions. Though I can't play with toys, I'm overflowing with love and ready to share it with my forever family. Are you ready to welcome a spirited girl like me into your home? Let's embark on this adventure together!- - - - - -Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization.

Please contact Constance (connibouchard@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Rescued dogBiography Important Information Please read! If you are interested in me after reading about me, please visit my site, http://www.breederadoptions.org and follow the instructions. The majority of the dogs we rescue, mostly breeder dogs, have lived their entire lives in less-than-ideal conditions so will need to be socialized, house and leash trained. Most have never lived in a house, walked on a leash, had a treat or sat in a lap. For many of them, their feet have never touched the ground after living for years on wire until they arrive at our main facility where they are evaluated, groomed and given vet care. Most of these dogs are not socialized and need to be cornered to be picked up, so are not suitable for people with physical disabilities or suffer from PTSD. They need folks who will make them the center of their world and help them learn to trust before even attempting to train.  Please do not apply if you do not meet the requirements of the dogs we rescue.  However, they will learn with time, love, patience and most of all, commitment. You must have an ample supply of all of these to reap the rewards of watching these very special dogs become your wonderful companion. We state any known health issues, all are altered unless there is a medical reason not to, which we will advise, any known medical issues addressed, are microchipped, are UTD on all vaccines and have been checked out by at least one veterinarian, usually two. We do not guarantee the health of any of our rescued dogs. The dogs we rescue have lived with other dogs all of their lives and most get along with other dogs. We state if they are dog aggressive. We require a permanent, full-time parent. That means you must be able to spend the majority of your time with your new companion to socialize and train. We do not, under any circumstances, place them in homes with young children as they have not been exposed to children and we do not know how they will react. Please do not waste your time or ours if you are not prepared to adopt within 2 weeks and you are not willing to pick the dog up at its location. Hi! My name is Zoe, and I am a sweet Shichon (Shih Tzu/Bichon) girl who was born 4/6/18, and I weigh 7 pounds. I would love an active home with a sibling to learn from and children over 10 years old would be okay with me. If you have been waiting for a sweet girl, please ask for me on your application to http://www.breederadoptions.org. Love, Zoe 041924-32  May 5, 2024, 1:45 pm
