Description:

Thriving in her foster home, 7-month-old Target, the former stray, is finally safe. At 33 pounds, this white and tan beauty percolates with puppy enthusiasm and energy, sweetness and sociability. Tender and gentle, she loves being petted, cuddled and snuggled by her foster mom, resting her head on her, showing her paw for love and returning her affection by giving her hugs. A true people pup, Target also loves wagging her tail and greeting everyone she meets and was endearingly friendly towards the children she encountered at the dog park. Learning all about boundaries, she enjoys engaging with dogs of all sizes, walking and running with her foster mom, improving her leash skills along the way, and going swimming. Famously fond of tennis balls, peanut butter lick mats and treats, motivated by love and food, Target currently knows “come” and “no,” is almost fully crate trained (Benebones inside her crate help), and is at work on both her house-training and puppy manners. Now all Target needs is an adoring and active home without cats to continue her socialization, perfect her manners and complete her training, including her commands, in exchange for a lifetime of happy hugs and a love like no other. Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails). If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. The adoption fee for this pet is $450 (includes a $50 refundable puppy training deposit). Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email [email protected] for more information, as we can't accept calls.PLEASE NOTE: The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter. Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets. Here is some interesting info on breed identification: https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online. We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting. Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!
