Initially shy as he settles into his foster home, 1-year-old Iggy is irresistibly sweet. At a fit 15 pounds, he fits the description of the ultimate lap dog, lapping up the affection of his fosters’ and their two teenage sons like a thirsty doggy sponge. Preferring calmness to commotion, Iggy especially enjoys cuddling and snuggling with his foster dad, resting his head on him and showing his paw for even more love. Timid yet curious, he engages easily with his smaller and similar-sized doggy foster friends, loves playing fetch with a rubber ball, chewing on bones and ropes made from old socks, and going for walks, walking well on his leash. As these are still early days, Iggy knows no command, but he’s crate trained and almost fully house-trained. Now, for Iggy to truly thrive, he needs a calm and nurturing home with patient adopters who will bolster his confidence, continue his socialization, complete his training, including his commands, and keep him in cuddles 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.
