My story

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

Are you looking for a playful guy whose tail never stops moving? Nelson's your guy!

Nelson makes fast friends with humans and dogs alike! Nelson loves wrestling, chasing tennis balls, and playing with toys! When he's playing, he regularly comes back to his foster to check in so he'll likely be easy to train off leash. He is highly food motivated and eager to learn. He's mastered "sit" and is ready to learn more!

Nelson isn't a picky eater and is willing to try any food his foster offers him. He is a great work from home companion and is happy to entertain himself or nap while his foster mom is working.

Nelson does great in the car and has taken multiple field trips to pet friendly stores, breweries, and the local fire station. Nelson has gone on a few short hikes and will be a great companion for any outdoor adventures.

Nelson hasn't had an accident in his foster home, but he's still young so regular potty breaks are always recommended. Nelson is happy to share his food and toys with other dogs and doesn't show signs of resource guarding. He loves the resident dogs in his foster home and is always ready to play.

Nelson could fit into a lot of homes! He could happy live with another playful dog or would also be content as an only dog. He has a medium energy level, and is happy to join in on a neighborhood walk, hike, play session in the yard, or watching a movie.

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.
