MEDICAL CASES

Sadie is our most recent medical case and she has us wrapped around her paw.  Such a sweet girl who was hit by a car and had no one step up to care for her.  We scooped her up and brought her to Colorado where she recently had surgery to repair her injuries.  Stay tuned as we give updates on her progress!

Dogs of the week!

Hulk, 4 years, Male, Great Dane, $500, Arvada
Hubba hubba!!! ? This amazingly handsome boy is named Hulk! We’ve learned that he’s best with a no-kiddo household as the kids make him a bit nervous. We’re looking for an experienced Dane owner who wants a 150 lb shadow. Once he’s comfortable with you, all he wants to do is play and snuggle; he is an incredibly affectionate boy. He's approximately 4 years old but has all the energy of a gigantic puppy. Hulk was also heart worm positive, but just completed his treatment for it. While he is dog friendly (and a very playful 150 lbs), he'd probably be best as the only dog in the house. Typical for his breed, he is a very heavy leaner! He isn’t sure yet if he is comfortable with cats running around but he did well with meeting them while they were crated. His ideal adopter will be comfortable being the alpha of the pack and comfortable with a bit of a ‘space-invader’! He will need some help working on separation anxiety so an adopter home often will be a must. He’s soaking up as much love and pack-time as possible. This big boy will also need a home with a 6' fence! He loves the couch, loves pillows, and LOVES waking his foster dad up in the morning! Hulk is located in Arvada and his adoption fee is 500 dollars.
Dillon, 5 years, Male, Great Dane/Pitbull, Dog & kid friendly, NO CATS, $350, CO Springs
Meet Dillon! This poor soul was a stray in Texas for two whole years and finally caught by another rescue because he had a terrible infection in his jaw. While we were able to treat his infection, it took much longer to coax him out of his shell. He loves dogs and is very dog friendly, but is no NOT cat friendly. He is house trained and crate trained! We feel his ideal home will be a quiet one. Dillon needs a patient family, while he learns to be a house dog and also learns how to show affection. He’s a sweet boy who will sit next to you and let you rub his belly all day! Dillon is located in Colorado Springs.
Apollo, 2 years, Male, Mastiff X, Good w/Dogs & Kids, $350, Windsor
This gorgeous boy is Apollo! He is a 2 year old Mastiff mix and has quickly become a volunteer favorite. Apollo is dog and kid friendly and would fit into an active home! He is about 90lbs and located in Windsor. His adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Alika, 3 years, Female, Shepherd X, Good w/Dogs (with proper intro), $350, Severance
Alika is a 3 year old Shepherd mix. She’s an energetic, loving, and sweet dog! She loves to lay around with her family but also enjoys going on walks and playing with her foster siblings. She needs proper introductions to warm up to people and other dogs. She’s not good with cats, so no cats in her future home. She’s house trained and knows basic commands. Alika’s ideal home would be patient enough to ease her out of her shell and into her new role as a family member! Alika is located in Severance and her adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Blake, 1 year, Male, Chihuahua X, Good w/Dogs, $400, Greeley
Hi! I'm Blake, a 1ish year old Chihuahua mix and I'm looking for a super special human that will understand how scared I am of people and have patience with me while I learn to trust. I came from a situation where I didn't get to see many people but when I did, my experiences weren't very positive. I love my crate, I am happy to potty in the right places, and I like other dogs, but I don't know what it's like to be a dog who is loved by humans. I will let my foster mom pick me up, but I don't understand why she wants to. Nobody ever picked me up before she did. Can you teach me about the good life and how wonderful humans can be? I’m currently in Greeley and my adoption fee is 400 dollars.
Nikki, 10 years, Female, Long Haired Chihuahua X, Good w/Dogs, $300. Erie
Nikki is a 10 year old long haired chihuahua mix and another sweet as pie senior! She appears to be bow legged but that doesn’t slow her down! She’s people and dog friendly and excited to find a forever home! Nikki is located in Ere and her adoption fee is 300 dollars.
Tagg, 10 years, Male, Cocker Spaniel X, Good w/Dogs, $300, Erie
Tagg is a 10 year old Cocker Spaniel who loves food, people and other dogs! He had been diagnosed Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia and will need medication to control it. Tagg is located in Erie and his adoption fee is 300 dollars.
Buster, 10 years, Male, Maltipoo, Good w/Dogs, $300, Arvada
Buster is a sweet 10 yr old Maltipoo, who is house trained, and loves to be with his people. He is currently around 26 lbs, (but should be around 15 lbs). So he will need a home where they can continue him on his weight loss regimen, to get down to an average weight! Until he loses the excess weight he can only walk small amounts around his foster home and around the backyard. He gets along with dogs of all sizes in his foster home. His ideal home is one without a lot of stairs, and with someone who is home a lot, and strong enough to help lift him up and take him outside to potty until he loses a few more pounds and can get around on his own regularly. He has already lost 2 lbs in 1 week in his foster home (only 11 more to go!) He is looking for a loving and quiet home to retire in! He is located in Arvada and his adoption fee is 300 dollars.
