My story

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

Cross Post for Stray and Orphaned Animals (SOAR)
If you’re looking for the perfect pup - Furiosa is the girl for you. We are not sure how we’ve had this girl so long!

Furiosa is our little miracle girl! She was relinquished to us during a spay/neuter clinic - she was very underweight and her owners noted she had been hit by a car two months before - they couldn’t provide the care she was in need of and they asked us to help her. After diagnostics it was found that her car accident had left her with a torn diaphragm and most of her organs were in her chest pushing on her lungs, not giving her a lot of space to breath. We couldn’t believe she was still wagging her tail, playing, and giving kisses. We made the decision to give her the best chance at a normal life and she had surgery to repair her diaphragmatic hernia. She did even better than expected after surgery and has made a wonderful recovery. She is just about up to her ideal weight and she never stops wagging her tail, giving kisses, and giving smiles! Now she’s a very healthy girl who will lead a completely normal life.

This little girl is just about 7 months old and is 50 pounds. We are guessing that she’s a lab/dane/shepherd mix - and she’ll be 65-75 pounds full grown. She’s very tall with the longest tail you’ve ever seen. She is great with kids and all other dogs. She’s a little playful for the 4 pound Chihuahua in her foster home but she listens well when she is redirected. She learned quickly to only play with her dog toys and stay off the sofa- but she would love sofa cuddles if they’re allowed! She’s a very cuddly girl. She has been completely potty trained in her foster home and is learning all the basic manners. (Leash walking, sit, down, stay!) She’s a very smart girl. She is very food motivated and she loves treat puzzles and doing anything for a treat! She loves to go for walks and is eager to make you happy.

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.
