Please go to our website at www.milehighlabmission.com to find out more about this pet and to submit an adoption application. Please DO NOT call or email us; all information about current dogs available, adoption donations, vetting, and this specific dog are on our website. We are a non-profit organization and we are completely 100% volunteer run. 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 | Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP. Story | Well hello, thanks for stopping by, I'm Freya! You may have guessed by my picture that I am more of a 'ma'am' and less of a 'miss', and you'd not be wrong. But, just like wine, leather goods, and some varities of cheese, I've only gotten better as I've aged. If you've ever had the pleasure of spending time with or caring for a senior dog before, you've already been let in on one of the best kept secrets in the dog world. Dogs aged 8+ are just the best. Need a nap buddy? I'd race you to the bed but I'm likely already in it. Need someone to enjoy the little things with? I can bird watch or neighborhood watch with the best of them! Need a calming presence to remind you to slow down and be more present? I will be glued to your side and will show you nothing but love and appreciation for the chance to live out many more years with you by my side.I know I've already lived a lot of life, and I understand that can make some adopters feel sad thinking that we wouldn't have many more years to live out together. Please don't let my age deter you or make you sad in advance. I can guarantee I will change your life for the better and fill our days together with more joy and happiness than you've ever known, regardless of the time we have...although I will say good genes run in my family so I have a lot of living left to do. Won't you take a chance on me so we can live out our best lives together?Background | I was surrendered to a high kill shelter by a human that stated she "found" me along with another dog. The shelter wasn't sure if we were truly found as strays or if we belonged to the person that surrendered us - although the latter was assumed. At some point it's clear I used to live in a home with other pets and people though - I'm very well manered and respectful!Other Dogs | I am very friendly and polite, and when I meet other dogs I greet them with a gentle sniff, as a lady of my distinguished caliber does, and then go along on my way. I'm not one to linger or try to barge my way into a group - I know my worth and keep it moving. I'm used to living with other dogs and co-exist with them wonderfully.Cats | Unknown.Children | The woman that surrendered me stated I did well with children, but I have not been around many while living in Colorado. I am so very gentle though, so don't let my large size fool you into thinking I may be too rough with little ones. Training | Yet another perk to my age - I am well mannered, go with the flow, and don't require much (if any!) correction. I take cues very well from the people and dogs around me, and my environment. I am not overly exciteable, so getting me to focus on you and what you need is no problem for me at all!Leash | I am just so happy to be by the side of my person or people, and will walk nicely on a leash next to you!Activity Level | A low to medium level of activity has been my preferred pace thus far. I love mental and physical stimulation, like a good sniffari in the backyard or wander around the block, but once back inside I'm happy to hit the pillows and snooze while you go on about your day. Health Notes | I am spayed, up to date on all vaccines, and am heartworm negative! Good food, naps, and some joint supplements on occasion to keep me young are the way to my heart (and to keep me healthy!)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 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
