My story

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

Please go to our website at www.milehighlabmission.com to find out more about this pet and to submit an adoption application. 

Please DO NOT call or email us; all information about current dogs available, adoption donations, vetting, and this specific dog are on our website.


We are a non-profit organization and we are completely 100% volunteer run. 

We DO NOT have a shelter and only approved applicants can make appointments with our foster homes to meet the dogs we have.

Our volunteers will not discuss dogs we have available for adoption UNTIL you have an application on file and are approved to adopt.



General Notes | Want to adopt this dog?  Please do not email us.  Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP.  

Personality | Are you looking for a best buddy? Meet Brett, he can be suspicious at first but has record time of warming up to kids and adults. If he is afraid for a moment he will just move away but it only took a treat for everyone he has met. He LOVES dogs. He plays beautifully our 1 year old dog and it really helps to get some energy out. He is still learning what is a toy (he is new to them) and what is not but is easy to drop it and takes the correction nicely. Brett is very food motivated for training and so far has walked great on a leash and harness. When he is ready to sleep he will pick a cozy spot but also loves a good snuggle, as long as he gets to be around the family, he is happy. He is a true lover and would be a great addition to any home. 

Story | 

Other Dogs | yes, is a rambunctious but gentle play partner 

Cats | unknown 

Children | yes 

Training 

Leash | does great on a lash and harness

Activity Level | active 

Health Notes | Brett is heartworm positive, but treatment is very successful and completely manageable with all the proper education. MHLRM will cover the expense of treatment at one of our approved veterinarians. Heartworm positive dogs go on to live happy, normal lives after treatment and rarely experience long-term side effects. Don't let this stop you from adopting Brett!

Thank you! 

Adoption Donations |  Our adoption donations are $475 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $425 for 1-6 years, $375 for dogs 7-10 years, and $250 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $525. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $700 per dog).

Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only.  To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process.

Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption.

We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!

We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved.  Your application is good for 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
