My story

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

All people inquiring about pets listed as Courtesy Listings on the EAPL website and/or EAPL posting adoption boards should contact the current pet owner/rescue/shelter for answers to any questions and for final approval and placement. Please do not contact EAPL  about courtesy listings. The pet owner/rescue/shelter and new owner shall make all arrangements on transferring the pet, information on history, vaccines, etc.

Milo is a 4.5 year old black lab mix (~45lbs) who loves the outdoors and water. He's lived with our family of four (including our small terrier) since 2020 and gone camping 20+ times. He’s the most loyal hiking companion because he will never stay far from you even when off-leash. He’ll jump right into your vehicle and does well in a car or back of a truck on a bed. He has a funny howl noise, almost hound dog-like, especially when the doorbell rings. He is skittish and anxious but great with little kids and around them basically every weekend. He can be a little standoffish at first but then he warms up. When he’s really comfortable with someone, he’ll just sit on your lap, slung off to the side or sitting straight up, and always come to greet you. He only lets our son, who sleeps with him every night, touch his paws. 
 
Milo readily plays with most dogs. We watch our neighbor's dog often and they do great. He doesn't like being surprised by large dogs though. We have a very short (low) fence per our HOA rules. Unfortunately, last month he got surprised twice, once with a contractor at our back fence and then by a large, somewhat aggressive-sounding dog next door where there are young children. Both events ended with a minor biting incident, which is completely uncharacteristic of Milo, but also why we feel he needs to be rehomed. We love him and want him to be safe and happy. 
 
Milo loves to chew on bones, is active and healthy, is neutered, his vaccinations are up-to-date, and he houses his food twice a day. We use special shaped bowls with compartments (lids, curves, etc.) that make him "think" and work a little hard for it, expending mental energy. We doesn't shed much at all and has a shiny coat, plus handsome face.
 
One bonus: he is super well-behaved on walks on a leash thanks to a 3-week training camp in August 2023 at Art of the Dog Canine Academy. Milo did very well there. He responds well to 'corrections' with an e-collar (dial from 0 to 100), which is rarely needed but highly effective if you want to use it. He now sits and stays on command ("down"), will auto-sit on walks when you pause, and he only starts walking when you say "heal". The trainers also taught him a "bed" command where he will stay for 30 minutes on a special lightweight gray canvas bed. It's very handy while cooking, eating, entertaining guests, or watching TV.  We can send videos and do a live FaceTime or Zoom call to demonstrate. 
 
An ideal new home for Milo would be with a loving and active family, a tall fence, and room to roam.

Additional adoption info

THE FIRST STEP to adopting an EAPL animal is to fill out an ADOPTION APPLICATION.
EAPL is a foster-based rescue. We do not have a shelter facility where applicants can come look at multiple animals at one time. All of our animals are in foster homes that range from Denver, to Evergreen, to Northeast Colorado - where they are loved and cared for until they are placed in a forever home.
The adoption process begins when you complete an online Adoption Application, naming either one or a few of our Available Animals you hope to adopt. Completing an application does not restrict you to a specific animal, nor does it obligate you to adopt.
Once we have received your application and determined that you are a good match for the requested animal, we will contact you. The foster parent will then contact you to arrange a time for you to meet the animal, at which time you can decide if you would like to complete the adoption. You may be asked to visit the animal more than once before taking it home. After your initial meeting with the animal, one of our volunteers will conduct a home visit. This may occur before you take the animal home or when the animal is delivered to you.
Once the adoption is approved, you will need to complete our Adoption Agreement and pay the adoption fee. We will keep in contact over the next few days to make sure everyone is happy.
IF AT ANY TIME AFTER ADOPTION, YOU DECIDE YOU CAN NOT KEEP THE PET FOR ANY REASON, you must call EAPL and give us the opportunity to get our pet back based on space available.
Our animals are our clients. Our job is to find each of our animals the right home. Rejected applications are not necessarily a reflection on the applicant’s home, but rather based on the determination that the home is not the right match. Before adopting, keep in mind that many of our animals have never lived inside a home. Some dogs may never have been walked on a leash, socialized, house trained or spent time with other animals. All, even those who previously have been in loving homes, will need patience and understanding as they learn to adapt to a new life and family. Rescued animals need adopters who will not give up on them if they have accidents in the house, pull on the leash, dig in the yard or act nervous or frightened.
Because of the work done in our foster homes and the care we take in matching animals with the right home, most of our animals will fit in their new homes immediately. But some will not. Many will need some form of training.
An adoption will be successful only if the adopter is committed to seeing the animal through the adjustment period. The rewards are the unconditional love and loyalty of a wonderful companion and the satisfaction of knowing you have given a rescued animal a better life. EAPL wants to support you with resources, education, and encouragement for the lifetime of your pet. Please contact us at any time following adoption for assistance.

Adoption fee for all dogs and puppies: $250
Adoption fee for all cats and kittens: $75

Payment will be collected when you get the pet, but will be held until the adoption is final.

Then you will be on your way to your new life with your new family member!

More about this rescue

The Evergreen Animal Protective League was organized in April, 1981, to aid lost, abandoned and suffering animals through rescue, shelter and education. The League has provided a better life for over 9,300 cats, dogs and other pets. Some facts.
We are totally volunteer. The majority of our members work during the day and do their volunteer work in the evenings and on weekends. There are NO paid employees.
We are not supported by taxes. All funding comes from donations from the public, and from fund raising activities. We do not make money from adoption fees. Adoption fees do not even cover the cost of advertising the pet, let alone vet care, etc.
Because we must raise our own funds to operate, we depend upon the Evergreen community for contributions and for volunteer assistance.
We are a non-profit organization recognized for tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. Our tax exempt number is 74-2204391. If you are contemplating donating to us you may use this number.
We rescue and shelter (if space is available) abandoned pets.
We adopt pets not claimed by anyone to new homes.
We reunite lost pets with their owners through lost and found records.
We assist financially with neutering of pets, and we educate pet owners about neutering whenever possible.
We educate adults wherever possible about proper care of pets.
We provide educational programs in the elementary schools.
We provide pet registration tags for pets.
We conduct fund raising activities to finance our programs.
We are a good source for information on pet behavior problems, but do not consider ourselves a replacement for a veterinarian.
We help animals in any way that we possibly can.
