My name is Tillamook / Blossom!

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 | As a blooming beauty, Blossom couldn't be more perfect! Her fosters say she is the sweetest girl who is smart, cuddly, gentle, and wonderful. She is great with dogs, people, and even the neighbor's kitty! She can't wait to find her family in Colorado. Want to adopt this dog?  Please do not email us.  Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP.  

Personality | Blossom is adventurous, cuddly, curious, and sweet as they come. His foster family is still getting to know her, but thinks she has the most wonderful lab demeanor. Blossom likes to explore, get toys, play with her foster siblings and chase them around the house, play tug, and is happiest passed out on the couch in the lap of her foster mom, or curled up at the feet of her foster dad while he works! 

Story | Blossom was rescued with her nine (!!) siblings and mama days after her mom gave birth on the streets in Houston, TX. A concerned citizen noticed their pregnant mama Honey, and immediately put out a plea for rescue. MHLM jumped into action, and a dedicated foster drove over four hours and searched for the family in order to save them. Since her rescue, she has been in a foster home in Houston before recently making her way to Colorado! 

Other Dogs | Blossom currently resides with a lab foster brother, and two little dog foster siblings (whom she adores and follows around endlessly). She's great with dogs of all sizes, and is learning to follow their lead and their cues. The smaller dogs in her foster home are quite bossy, but she doesn't mind! She is passive with them and gives them space when they need it, but will snuggle in when they allow it. 

Cats | Blossom has only met one cat and was curious and kind. She was gentle, and gave the kitty space as they warmed up to each other. Her fosters think she would do great with a kitty sibling. 

Children | Blossom loves little humans of all ages and sizes! She adored the grandchildren of her Houston foster, did amazing at puppy yoga, and she would be awesome with kiddos of all ages as long as they are gentle and kind. 

Training | Blossom's training is in progress! This sweet girl is getting the hang of potty training, and sleeps in her crate through the night! She is working on sit, and spending time in her crate independently (being little and alone is hard!) 

Leash | Blossom is too little for leash walking currently, but she LOVES to ride in a baby bjorn pouch on family walks around the neighborhood. She couldn't be cuter or more observant! 

Activity Level | Moderate. Blossom loves to play, sleep, cuddle, and then play more! She is adventurous, but happy to snuggle in.

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.
