My story

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

You won’t find a sweeter dog than 4-month old Elbert. He enjoys playing with other dogs, gets along wonderfully with my senior cat (see video), but above all he LOVES people. He wants be near you, or better yet ON you, as much as possible. If you’re looking for an oversized lap dog, he’s your man.

Elbert will likely be a good off-leash dog as he stays close. He also walks beautifully on a leash (see video). He could be a take-everywhere sidekick as he loves meeting new people, is non-reactive to other dogs, and enjoys adventure. He also rides well in the car, is mostly house trained, and sleeps quietly in his crate all night.

Elbert is still a puppy and needs someone with the time and willingness to socialize with him and help him perfect his manners. He is medium active with a lot of goofy puppy energy to burn (he'll likely be lower energy as he matures). He’ll keep you laughing as he trips over his own big feet and face plants in the dirt. But don't let the derpy behavior fool you. Elbert is extremely attentive, wicked smart, and oh so eager to please. He's seriously amazing!

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): $450; puppies: $500; adult cats (1 year and older): $200; kittens: $275.

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.
