Story
Friends, say hello to Turkey.
To get straight to the point - he isn't getting much adoption attention because he's a pit bull. Adopters don't gravitate towards the bully breeds like they do poodles and labs. And while he might not be hypoallergenic or a state swim champion, he's a complete delight, and a foster home favourite.
Turkey is happy, outgoing, and social. He loves to run and play. He loves food. He loves cuddling and doesn't care if he's too big for your lap. He loves to romp about, toss his toys in the air, and sneak your shoes off to his bed. (He won't chew on them, he's simply a sneakerhead that appreciates good footwear.)
Turkey lives harmoniously in foster care with multiple dogs - of varying ages and sizes. He takes cues well, snuggles with the senior chihuahuas and wrestles with the juvenile shepherd mix. Turkey's one knock is he gets excitable when seeing other dogs on leash. Between Pterodactyl screeches and pulling on his leash, he can be a bit much to the untrained eye. Fortunately, with the incredible help of our trainer, his foster home has made remarkable progress and his dog-sighting leash skills are turning a corner. (Our trainer has also extended her help with any leashed dog introductions for adoption meet-and-greets.)
Turkey is kennel trained, potty trained, and an excellent playmate for other bouncy dogs. While we don't know how he is with cats, and we don't think he would eat one, we can't imagine there's a cat out there that will appreciate his hijinks.
Turkey is polite in his foster home, makes a perfect co-pilot for car rides, and even waits his turn for snacks until his name is called. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick, weighted blanket, and never ending tail wag, head to our website (www.bounceanimalrescue.org) to fill out an adoption application.
Turkey is a 9-month-old mixed rescued from a high-intake shelter. This dog is current on vaccinations, microchipped, 4DX tested, and neutered. This dog is also tested with other dogs, kennel trained, and housebroken. We would love for you to meet this dog and see if it might be a good fit for your home.
The first step to adoption is completing an adoption application on our website at www.bounceanimalrescue.org. Pending approval, your application is valid for 1 year, and you will be eligible to request a hold on an individual animal for the Saturday adoption event. The hold does not require that you take the animal home, but ensures you get to meet and make an adoption decision prior to other applicants. Also pending approval, you will be able to acquire foster home contact information, so you inquire on personalities of specific animals.
We do offer midweek private adoption appointments for approved applicants pending staff, foster home, and vetting schedules. Because we are 100% foster-based, private adoption appointments are only offered for individual animals. (If interested in viewing multiple animals at one time, we encourage you to attend our adoption events!)
Please note, we do not have the ability to process adoption applications at our adoption events, so please plan accordingly. If an application is submitted past 5pm on Monday-Thursday, it will begin review the following day. If submitted on Friday-Sunday, it will begin review on Monday. It takes approximately 1-2 business days for an application to be processed.
Our adoption events take place every Saturday from 10am-Noon at Pet Supplies Plus (Front Range Village, 2912 Council Tree Ave #100, Fort Collins, 80525).
For additional questions regarding meeting this dog please contact us via text/email at 970.699.6772, or contact@bounceanimalrescue.org. We apologize for any inconvenience, but due to a high volume of inquiries, calls and voicemails regarding adoption will not be returned.
Thank you for choosing adoption! If you would like more information on our organization please visit our website at www.bounceanimalrescue.org.
