My name is Marcus!

Making the most of his second chance at life is 12-week-old Marcus! Saved when a Good Samaritan found him with his mom and his other siblings underneath a house, this 17-pound black beauty is happy and healthy, and THRIVING in his foster home. Sweet and sociable, adorable and affectionate, he loves cuddling and snuggling with his fosters and rolling over for belly rubs, while they find everything he does to be both interesting and cute. Frisky and friendly, Marcus not only loves his many canine companions, he loves playing tug-o-war with his siblings and another foster pup, chewing on bones and rope toys, and feasting on any and all treats. Currently too young to grasp commands, he’s highly intelligent, eager to learn, and is motivated by food, toys and love. Crated only for meals, he’s diligently at work on his leash and house-training skills and honing his puppy manners. Now all Marcus needs is a loving home that will perfect his manners, complete his training, including his commands, and keep him mentally and physically satisfied fur-ever.

Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails).

If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives!  A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. 

The adoption fee for this pet is $450 (includes a $50 refundable puppy training deposit). Our adoption fee covers the following:

Spay/neuter

Microchip

DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. 

Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.

Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.

Please fill out an adoption application by clicking  here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process!

Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls.

PLEASE NOTE:  The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter.  Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets.  Here is some interesting info on breed identification:  https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/

Our adoption process is:

1. Fill out our Adoption Application online.  We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet.

2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting.  Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!
