Story
Magnum is looking for a fun-loving and patient forever home. Given his scary start of winding up in a high-intake shelter, he is cautious of new humans. Luckily, he's in a loving foster home and learning that the world isn't too bad! Magnum is still finding his confidence and will benefit from patient humans who understand that good things come to those who wait. When given time to learn the world and come out of his shell, we know that he is going to provide a lifetime of adorable antics and unconditional love. Magnum LOVES to play with the other dogs in his foster home and would greatly benefit from having a confident canine companion in his new home. Homes with smaller humans should be aware that he is very shy, as to not overwhelm him. He is working hard on housebreaking and seems to have kennel-training down to a tee. He loves to cuddle up, hide in a blanket, and sleep through the night once the lights have been turned out. Finally, this dude LOVES stinky food, golden-fish crackers, and noisy crinkle toys. Magnum is a 2-month-old mixed rescued from a high-intake shelter. This dog is current on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. This dog is good with other dogs, cats, and children. This puppy is working on kennel training, housebreaking, and house etiquette. 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!

Story
Ace is the royal flush in the game of puppy love. This guy is smart and full of energy. He is a serious Ace of hearts. True to his working/herding breed, Ace is highly intelligent, and energetic. He would do best in an active home, with a family willing to include him on their hikes or outings. Ace loves to romp around the yard, and chase/herd his foster siblings. Due to this, he will benefit from a fenced yard, and another playful canine sibling. Ace is a good boy who likes to retreat to his kennel for rest when needed. He is working on his house etiquette, potty training, and is starting to work on leash manners. This handsome boy is a true one of a kind and as sweet as getting a royal flush. Ace is a 4-month-old mixed rescued from a high-intake shelter. This dog is current on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. This dog is good with other dogs, cats, and children.

Right now I'm still a baby Weedle, but I'm getting ready to evolve into my next stage! My Weedle side comes out when we are out in the sun- I love rolling in the grass and taking in all the smells. I'd love to hit my Kakuna evolution on the couch with you. We can cuddle up and watch movies while you snuggle me and pet my luxurious, soft fur. Then I'll be your Beedrill when we get out for a hike out in the gorgeous Colorado mountains. We can practice all of our cool moves and improve our stats together! Will you be my Pokemon Trainer and choose me? Want to hear more about me? Of COURSE you do! Email Amanda.Payne@SavingAnimalsToday.org for more information about me!

Story
Junie, Australian Shepherd/Heeler, 4.5 yrs., 40-45 lbs. Junie is a very loving and loyal dog. She is the boss and loves keeping Cooper in line. She likes to go on walks and explore with him. She gets along with other dogs great, but she will growl when she has had her fill. She will not nip or bite. She is a bit more relaxed and laid back than Cooper, but still loves to play around with him. She also is a bit of an attention hog. She will stare through your soul until you acknowledge her. She is very in tune with human emotion and will snuggle with you when you are sad. She’s a very sweet soul. She also may be more human than dog. Cooper, Blue Heeler, 4.5 yrs., 40-45 lbs. Cooper tends to be shy at first but warms up pretty quick. He has a lot of energy and loves playing with Junie going on walks and exploring with her. He LOVES attention. He is a very loving and loyal dog with the silliest personality. I think he may be more human than dog. He gets along with other dogs but does take a minute to acclimate to them. He loves to give kisses (I think he was a lizard in his past life…hahaha). They are a bonded pair. They have grown up together and I would hate to separate them. They are soulmates and I would love for them to stay together. I understand that this is a lot to ask, but they are so worth it! We are having to re-home them due to a move across the country. This means we will be living out of a small camper and traveling all over the southeast. I don’t feel that this is a fair life for my pups to live. They love to run and play and wouldn't get this freedom if they come with us.

We’d love for you to meet our sweet, shy, Sammie! Sammie is a 1 year old, mini-Aussie. She’s 24.8 lbs but now that she’s finished whelping her litter, we think she will slowly inch up over the 25 lbs mark. Sammie is does best in a quiet home with other dogs and a 5-6 ft privacy fence. Before she came to MHCR she didn’t get to spend much time inside, however, she’s quickly grown accustomed to the luxuries home living brings like couch and bed snuggles! Sammie is shy of kiddos at first but she warms up quickly. She’s house trained, too! Sammie is in foster in Mead, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/sammie You can apply for our wonderful dogs at https://www.milehighcanine.org/adopt/adoption-application/.

Story
Hi my name is Hazel and I am pretty shy, but with the help of my foster mom I am coming out of my shell. I like to go for walks, but in a calm and quiet area. I like cats... but like to chase them. So I should probably be in a house without them. I like other dogs, and being around a confident dog would probably help me gain my own self-confidence. Small kids would probably be too much for me, but older kids that can respect my need for a calm environment, would be just fine with me. Please someone just give me a chance. This animal is in a foster home. If you would like to meet this animal, go to www.souldog.org to fill out an adoption application. When submitting your adoption application make sure to submit a good clear picture of your living room, kitchen, and yard. If you rent, you must provide proof animals are allowed. We will contact references. Once the application is reviewed our adoptions coordinator will send your information to the foster to set up a meet and greet.We ask that all members of the household come for a meet and greet to ensure there are no personality clashes. If you have other dogs in the home and are meeting a dog you must bring them for the meet and greet. Filling out an adoption application does not mean you will be adopting the animal. Doing a meet and greet with one of our animals does not guarantee you are adopting the animal. We will select the family we feel is the best choice for that animal after screening and meeting applicants.

Story
Meet Mimzy! She is a sweet medium sized girl that adores other dogs! She even played with a small dog and is such a happy and smiley girl! She was surrendered to our rescue partner because her family were moving and couldn't take her with them. She's great on a leash and is a social butterfly! From her current foster: " Mimzy is a fun, loving & super playful girl! She is very easily self entertained and plays with toys by herself sometimes. She loves to cuddle and will curl up right next to you if you let her. She is a big fan of treats and loves to receive any form of praise. She is not the biggest fan of skateboards & bicycles or other fast moving things (people running by her) but can be calmed down and responds very well to positive reinforcement when these things approach. She loves her crate and will lay in it occasionally just to relax/calm down, she never barks when in the crate and always is excited to see us when we return. She is very social and loves all people so much, she is a little iffy when it comes to other dogs with a big personality but with some time she comes around and plays well. As a whole Mimzy is a sweet pup who just wants someone to play with her and love her! From her previous foster: "Mimzy is a super sweet energetic dog and she wants to be around people all the time! She loves her stuffed toys and can keep herself occupied for quite a while with them. We are working on leash manners and not pulling but she is making good progress and is very treat motivated. She does great in her crate and does not bark while she is in there! She is not a huge fan of bikes and skateboards while she is on walks, but is redirected fairly easily with treats and pets and is working on barking less at passing people."

Party animal alert! Layla is here to bring the good time to any party with her fun loving energy, inviting personality, and silly antics! She's a fun loving girl and she enjoyed romping around with any dog that would play with her, she also loves to throw toys up and play with them too. This girl is even great on a leash so it seems someone has worked with basic cues with her as a pup. From her amazing foster: 'Here's some notes about her: -the best snuggler, loves to cuddle -loves to run, would appreciate a backyard -she wants a doggy friend so badly -knows sit -is initially little wary of new people but warms up quickly -treat motivated -crate trained -working on potty training, a regular schedule with encouragement outside helps! -"guards the fences in the backyard but I think really just wants to protect her people while also saying hi to a new person or dog lol -ALWAYS has a toy in her mouth, will greet you with a gift -loves sticks/bones -has such a soft, shiny coat -the little white tip at the end of her tail is so cute -Velcro dog, will follow you around the house -she'll need someone with structure and patience who will provide lots of mental and physical exercise since she's just a pup -she just wants to love and be loved!

Story
Meet Minnie! This sweet gal is a social butterfly who loves attention. She found herself in need of a new forever home after being attacked by the neighbor's dog. :( Despite that, she did great with all dogs at our rescue partner! Previous shelter staff notes: Minnie is an absolute sweetheart and she loves to be around other dogs! She used to have a loving home to call her own, but the neighbor's dogs got into her yard and tried to attack her. For her own safety, her family made the heartbreaking decision to surrender her in hopes of her finding a new and improved life. Despite having a broken heart, she's very sweet, loving, and is waiting on YOU to give her a chance. She loves all dogs she's met and she avoids any conflict. She's very calm, well mannered, and easy going. She's great on a leash, seems potty trained, and enjoys hanging out in the pool. If you're looking for a dainty soul that's appreciative of any love she can get, Minnie is your girl! Her mature personality has won my heart and once you meet her, you will fall in love too!
