We DO NOT have a shelter and only approved applicants can make appointments with our foster homes to meet the dogs we have.Our volunteers will not discuss dogs we have available for adoption UNTIL you have an application on file and are approved to adopt.General Notes | Tall, dark, and handsome, Shadow is the whole package! After being abandoned, left in the back yard when his family moved, this angel boy has been looking for a new and more permanent forever. He's great with kids, great with dogs, and is ready for mountain life in Colorado! Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP. Personality | Shadow is truly wonderful, and it's so sad to think anyone could ever leave him behind. He's happy tail wags, fun play, and all adoration! Story | Shadow was left behind and abandoned when his family skipped town. A neighbor heard him barking from the yard only to find he had been left for days with nothing. Despite this cruel experience, Shadow hasn't let it hold him back! He is still full of love, kisses, and play!Other Dogs | Shadow is GREAT with other dogs! He loves company and loves to play!Cats | Shadow hasn't been cat tested so it is unknown how he would do. Children | Shadow is great with kiddos, and would be happy to have kids of his own! Training | In progress! Shadow is potty trained and already knows basic commands. Leash | Your basic lab on a leash!Activity Level | Moderate.Health Notes | Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $475 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $425 for 1-6 years, $375 for dogs 7-10 years, and $250 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $525. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $700 per dog).Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process.Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption. We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for one year from the date of applying for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
