Story
Lorie is the embodiment of a true herding breed. She is intelligent, playful, and eager to please. She has just entered Bounce's care so she is still navigating home structure and rules, but is a quick study. While she gets along with dogs and cats, she is a bit socially awkward when trying to play. Like many herding breeds, she plays by "refereeing and enjoys herding and mouthing at her friends. While completely harmless, she will likely showcase these behaviors with young children and a home with no children is advised. Lorie LOVES food and will need to be fed separately from other animals. She would enjoy a home with a playful canine friend or an active human family. Lorie walks well on a leash, sleeps in her kennel, and is learning house training quickly. She likes to play fetch and work on food puzzles. To add this adventurous friend to your home, apply today!
Lorie is a 1-year-old mixed breed rescued from a high-intake shelter. This dog's adoption fee is $250 and includes up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, 4DX testing, and spay. Lorie is also tested with other dogs, cats, kennel trained, and housebroken. She would do best in a home with no or older children. We would love for you to meet this dog and see if she might be a good fit for your home.
Lorie has congenitally related abnormalities in her left eye, including a missing section of the iris (the colored part of the eye). This is a common finding in Cattle Dogs and does not impact her vision or quality of life. Lorie is missing her right eye, likely because it never developed in the first place (i.e. we do not suspect a traumatic cause). There is no recommended treatment or medical intervention needed for her missing right eye. Due to Lorie's happy and smart demeanor, a missing right eye doesn't impact her zest for life!
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.
