My story

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

Duke is an exuberant, goofy boy looking for a loving forever family. He's approximately one year of age and happy to see everyone! Duke is dog friendly and even enjoys the little foster puppies (he can be gentle). Duke knows how to sit politely for a treat but is learning not to jump up on people when excited. He is working on this as he doesn't know his size (or impact).



Duke walks nicely on a leash and rides well in the car. He is eager to please but has been known to jump a fence if things are more exciting on the other side. He would be a great running/hiking/walking buddy.



Duke's shortcoming is he becomes possessive of his people. He is dog friendly and does well with dogs in public, but does not want to share his person with another dog in the home. He would be a great only dog but still friendly enough for hiking, breweries or dog parks. When it is time for snuggles and love --he is not interested in sharing. Therefore, Duke should go to a family that can make him their number one and not make him compete with resident dogs.



Sweet, playful, potty trained and ready to be your go to buddy! Duke is being fostered in Colorado Springs, CO. Interested in learning more about him or discussing a meet and greet? Please submit a no obligation adoption application today

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.
