Story
  Bugaloo  may be small in size but he’s BIG in love! At a trim 10 pounds, this two-year-old sweetie loves cuddling and snuggling with his foster mom, resting his head on her and having his belly rubbed as much as he loves amusing her by sometimes sticking out his tongue and dancing about in delight. Definitely a devoted “ladies’ man,” he’s initially wary of men although he eventually warms up to them. More of a comfy, cozy couch companion than an eagerly energetic pup,  Bugaloo  does enjoy playing with his doggy foster friends both large and small, likes toys, especially rope toys, and looking out the window on car rides. Since he presently prefers taking shorter walks, he’s just starting to work on his leash skills and on being more at ease around the new dogs he meets. Motivated by food and love, he currently knows “come” and “no,” eats and sleeps in his crate and is almost fully house-trained. With much still to learn and much love to share,  Bugaloo  is best suited to a loving home, perhaps with a friendly dog already there, and patient adopters who will 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 $600. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.  Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking  here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls. PLEASE NOTE:  The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter.  Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets.  Here is some interesting info on breed identification:  https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online.  We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting.  Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!

Story
Meet Melvin! Melvin is an adorable 8-pound Maltese with a heart as sweet as can be. This little guy loves pets and attention, and he’s not afraid to show it! You’ll often see him hopping around, gently begging for cuddles and affection.While Melvin can be a tad shy when you first meet him, it doesn’t take long for his friendly and loving personality to shine. He adores treats and will happily take them right from your hand, making bonding time even more fun.Melvin gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and would love to have furry friends in his new home—or he’d be just as happy being your one-and-only cuddle buddy. All he asks for is a warm lap, plenty of love, and lots of pets.This sweet and friendly boy is looking for a home where he can be the center of attention and showered with the affection he deserves. Could you be the one to give Melvin the forever love he’s been waiting for? - - - - -Before being rescued, many of our dogs have had limited socialization, so they may need a bit of time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog`s individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!

Story
Max the Maltese! This adorable, quirky, 6-7 lbs boy is Max. He’s approximately 2 years old. Max is king of the castle and despite his small stature, he has a big personality. He joined MHCR from a high intake shelter in Houston. Max is dog friendly but doesn’t like to share his humans so couch snuggles will need to be managed at first. Max is being fostered in Mead, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/max/. You can apply for our wonderful dogs at https://www.milehighcanine.org/adopt/adoption-application/.
