My story

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

Does your dog need a dog? Shy guys need love too!! Michelin is all ears and ready to hear the angelic voice of his forever owner. Michelin is very shy and timid and will need to be in a home with another confident dog so he can learn to "dog" himself. He is dog and cat friendly but hesitate about the people thing. He is learning to trust and follows the other dogs lead. Michelin loves his canine buddies enough to groom them and even lick their teeth clean (needs a patient dog).
Michelin will run and jump in the car, rides nicely, but gets scared getting out. He walks decently in a leash. He will play in the kiddie pool and chase the bigs dogs. He will be an excellent hiking or running buddy.
Michelin needs the adopter who loves the shy ones. He is opening up a little daily and will be the best reward when he feels safe and relaxed. Currently Michelin sleeps quietly in his kennel at night time. He is mostly potty trained. His siblings have been adopted so hoping he will blossom without someone to hide behind. Don't let his timid mess scare you off. He is waiting for the perfect person.

Michelin will be at the adoption event 4 Aug at Metric Brewing in Colorado Springs.

Michelin is being fostered in Colorado Springs.

RezDawg's adoption fees cover rescue and transportation costs, spay/neuter, microchip, deworming, up-to-date vaccinations and additional medical services as needed. You save a bundle of money by adopting from a non-profit—and even more importantly, you allow RezDawg to save another animal from being euthanized. ALL funds are used to save and support the animals!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We are doggie and kitty match-makers. We do everything in our power to assure that our dogs or cats will thrive in your environment.

Please start by submitting an application to adopt on our website. We do our best to respond to all applications but do to the number of applications received, this may always not be possible.

If you, your family and your lifestyle look like a good fit for the personality and needs of the animal, there's a phone call to chat and answer any additional questions. From there we will arrange a no-obligation meet and greet, where the animal could then go home with you, provided it is a good fit for all involved! (All this can happen within a week's time!)

A contract is signed at time of adoption. If for ANY reason you are unable to keep your companion, we quite passionately INSIST the animal be returned to us and NOT dropped in a shelter. We would happily take any of our adoptions back if it proves NOT a good fit for your family. :-)

Adoption fees include spay/neuter, microchip, basic vaccinations, (including rabies if old enough), deworming, rescue and transport costs, other medical services as needed (which can include but not limited to skin scrape, fecal exam, x-ray, amputation and hospitalization). Felines additionally receive an felv/fiv test and checked for ringworm with the Woods lamp prior to transport.

Adoption fees may vary due to special health circumstances, but typically start with...adult dogs (1 year and older): $425; puppies: $475; adult cats (1 year and older): $175; kittens: $250.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster based rescue ~ we DO NOT have a physical shelter at the moment. All of our dogs and cats reside in foster homes all throughout the Front Range and the Western Slope of Colorado. We have adoption events regularly at Petsmart stores in Denver, CO. If we do not have an event scheduled, we can arrange a time for you to meet one of our animals available for adoption.

More about this rescue

We relocate dogs and cats from high-intake shelters, animal control facilities, and reservations in the Four Corners area to animal rescue partners and forever homes in Colorado. We provide transportation to foster homes and other partner organizations, offer medical care and low/no cost spay and neuter services, manage a network of foster homes for temporary shelter, and run adoption events so that these animals can find forever homes.

Since March of 2012, we have transported thousands of at-risk dogs and cats to safety, solely on generous donations from caring individuals like you who see how dire the need is in and around the Navajo reservation.
