My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello, my name is Aspen and I’m 3.5 yrs old and have been in foster care for 1.5 years!!!!
I’m a Shepard mix, my foster parents are pretty sure that there’s Husky in me as well. I had a rough start in my life, I was found a stray in Texas with an embedded collar and irritated nose. It’s hard for me to trust people right away so I will need time to warm up to you. I’m a little shy and don’t like my nose to be touched.

In Texas the vet said my nose was most likely burned. I went to the vet here in Colorado and she’s pretty sure I have Lupus.(also called DLE, Nasal Solar Dermatitis, or Collie Nose) Discoid Lupus or DLE is almost exclusively a canine disease and is almost always limited to the leather of the nose, called the nasal planum. Lupus is an immune - mediated disease stemming from your own immune system reactions to your own DNA.
I have to be on medication for the rest of my life and have to make sure to avoid the UV light at its peak time.(exposure to sunshine is makes the condition worse). Lupus does not shorten my lifespan or slow me down in any way!

I love to give all the kisses and want to be close to my humans once I warm up to them, kids should be a bit older so they understand I don’t like to get yanked on my collar and that i need time to warm up to everyone.
I’m currently in a foster home with 3 Huskies (2 male and 1 female) and a Chihuahua mix and getting along fine with all of them. My foster parents say that I’m an alpha personality. Hope I’ll meet you soon.

More about this rescue

We are a 501(c)(3) not for profit dog rescue based in Colorado Springs, CO. Our goal is to rescue dogs from high kill shelters in other states and get them adopted into forever homes all along the Front Range and Pikes Peak Region. We are brand new, established in April 2019, and we are an all volunteer organization. We are always in need of donations, either money, much needed dog items like dog beds, kennels, leashes, etc, and loving foster homes. If you can't provide any of these things, we are always in need of people that can help out at events and transport when the dogs come in. We look forward to hearing from you!!
