Story
Bug is a 1 year old Rat Terrier weighing about 12lbs.  Bug came to us after being found as a stray about 9 months ago in New Mexico.  Nobody came for her and she was set for euthanasia at an overwhelmed shelter.   When Bug came to us we took her to get fixed as we do with every pup before adoption.  The clinic vet identified a murmur in Bugs heart and recommended getting it checked before putting her under.  Our Cardiologist discovered that Bug has a birth defect in her heart.  We have also started to realize that she may have a little bit of neuro irregularities.  She is a unique, adorable little girl to say the least.  Right now there is not much that can be done other than some daily meds she is on.  She is the sweetest girl in the whole world and this heart defect has turned everybody away from giving her a forever family.  She loves to play and snuggle up as close as possible with her foster dad.  Bug's future is uncertain right now.  She may live a looooong happy life, or her life may be cut short due to her heart.  There is no way to tell.  What we do know is that despite Bug being different she deserves all the love and a forever family of her own just like every dog does. If you are interested in adopting this sweetk girl, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2140685##

Story
Meet Britany. She is a friendly and adorable young Rat Terrier Australian Shepherd mix puppy. She is around 6 months old and 12bs. Britany is a little difficult to figure out, we think she may be fully grown based on her teeth, she acts like a puppy but we dont expect her to get much bigger.  Britany is very shy, she gets very excited  but she actually wont approach you. If another dog jumps up at you, she'll do the same but run away as soon as you go to pet her. She'll take some time to warm up to you and will need some patience. Treats will do the trick.  Here is a video of Britany and her sister Doe:https://youtu.be/ZYeUXVF49Dw Britany ended up in a shelter in Kansas prior to her arrival into Colorado. We don't have any of her backstory. However, in her foster home, she has done well with other dogs, she doesn't have any accidents in the crate overnight, sleeps through the night, she is food motivated and isn't particularly vocal.  Britany currently lives with her foster in Denver, Colorado and an adoption meeting would happen at the fosters home. Britany is fully vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. Britany knows just how miraculous a turn her life has taken when she was picked out by Havok's Wolfpack and she is determined to live her new life to the fullest in the most playful and adventurous way, hopefully, with you. Her adoption fee is $600. To submit an adoption application for Britany , head over to our website:http://www.havokswolfpack.com/adopt/ or https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/18644/generic If your application is approved, we will contact you promptly. ##2253647##

Story
Johnny is an adorable pup, almost 4 months old now and only 11 lbs, and we have no idea what he is mixed with (but looks like a mini Border Collie mix). He came to Big Bones with his mom and siblings. His mom was adopted and most of his siblings found homes. Now it is his turn! This little cutie is good with dogs and kids! This sweet boy is so happy and playful. He doesn't look anything like his Mama Jewel did, so his looks must take after his dad. Regardless, he is a CUTIE, and is both cuddly and playful! He has a sweet disposition and loving eyes. He loves to crawl into your lap and look up at you, which makes you not want to move. He is pretty calm for a puppy, and loves tugging on the rope. He will make a great addition to some lucky family! Come and meet him in Severance.

Joey is an adorable mixed breed pup, only around 14 lbs. His mom was guessed to be a Chihuahua mix, and although on the smaller side, he doesn't look like a Chihuahua. We are guessing maybe Rat Terrier mix?? His looks must take after his dad. Regardless, he is a CUTIE, and is both cuddly and playful! He has a sweet disposition and loving eyes. He loves to crawl into your lap and look up at you, and makes you not want to move. He is pretty calm for a puppy, and loves tugging on the rope. He just learned how to jump on the couch and is so proud of himself. :) He is good with dogs and kids and will make a great addition to some lucky family! Come and meet him in Severance.

Story
Cream loves to run and play! He is up for any adventure, but will need some snuggle time to recharge before heading out for more. He is great with dogs, cats, and kids. Cream is a 3-month-old mixed breed rescued from a high-intake shelter. This dog's adoption fee is $500 and includes up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, and neuter. Cream is also tested with other dogs, children, and cats. He's in foster care learning potty and kennel training. We would love for you to meet this dog and see if he might be a good fit for your home. The first step to adoption is completing an adoption application on our website at www.bounceanimalrescue.org. Pending approval, your application is valid for 1 year, and you will be eligible to request a hold on an individual animal for the Saturday adoption event. The hold does not require that you take the animal home, but ensures you get to meet and make an adoption decision prior to other applicants. Also pending approval, you will be able to acquire foster home contact information, so you inquire on personalities of specific animals. We do offer midweek private adoption appointments for approved applicants pending staff, foster home, and vetting schedules. Because we are 100% foster-based, private adoption appointments are only offered for individual animals. (If interested in viewing multiple animals at one time, we encourage you to attend our adoption events!) Please note, we do not have the ability to process adoption applications at our adoption events, so please plan accordingly. If an application is submitted past 5pm on Monday-Thursday, it will begin review the following day. If submitted on Friday-Sunday, it will begin review on Monday. It takes approximately 1-2 business days for an application to be processed. Our adoption events take place every Saturday from 10am-Noon at Pet Supplies Plus (Front Range Village, 2912 Council Tree Ave #100, Fort Collins, 80525). *Our annual Deck the Paws adoption event will be held on December 21 from 11am-1pm at Maxline Brewing (2724 McClelland Dr #190, Fort Collins, CO 80525). We will not be hosting an event on Saturday, December 28 and will offer private adoption appointments December 22-31. Happy Holidays!* For additional questions regarding meeting this dog please contact us via text/email at 970.699.6772, or contact@bounceanimalrescue.org. We apologize for any inconvenience, but due to a high volume of inquiries, calls and voicemails regarding adoption will not be returned. Thank you for choosing adoption! If you would like more information on our organization please visit our website at www.bounceanimalrescue.org.

These pups are in Boulder, Colorado too!

Story
Hi, my name is Charley Feeny and while I'm the happiest buddy now, before my Underdog days I had a pretty rough go of it. I used to have a loving mama, but one day she went away, and I found myself living with a person who did not like me very much. He was not feeding me or even letting me in from the cold. I wandered off and a nice lady found me. I showed her where I lived and she took me back, but the man said I was a stray and even though I barked and barked, he would not let me inside. The nice lady took me to a shelter. They said I was a hospice senior, and I that I was on the urgent rescue list. Fortunately, the staff really liked me, so they reached out to Underdogs, who sent a new mama to pick me up. My new foster home is so nice. There are other dogs to play with, I am allowed to curl up under the covers whenever I want to and there is lots of healthy food and treats to eat. She took me to the dog doc and she told her that I was neither neither a senior nor a hospice dog. I tried to tell everyone that, but apparently dog docs are more trustworthy. As it turns out, I am only about 6 years old and though not being fed regularly and neglected overall was hard on my kidneys, proper food and some medicine have been healing them nicely. I now weigh thirteen pounds and am looking perky and am the most handsome scruffy terrier and miniature poodle mix.  I love the fenced yard at my foster digs and I especially love going for walks in the morning. New foster mama put an open crate in the living room so I can go in there any time I need time to myself. I also like toys to play with. One weekend we had lots of company, including a 12-year-old girl and extra dogs. Mama said she was so proud of how I behaved.  She tells me that we are looking for my new forever family, someone that will take me for walks, feed me well, love me and help me feel secure again. She says that I will do best with adults and older children with dog experience. I love dog friends, but the kitties are not my most favorite.  If you're interested in adopting Charlie Feeny, please fill out an adoption application here: https://underdogsrescue.org/adopt-form/ Underdogs is a small volunteer-based animal rescue and we unfortunately do not have the resources to respond to phone and email inquires about our adoptable animals at this time. If you're interested in learning more or setting up a meeting with one of our animals, please complete an adoption application first. It may take up to two weeks for application review and one of our coordinators will reach out to you as soon as we are through the intitial review process. We appreciate your patience and understanding! Thank you!  ##2084570##

Story
Francis is a young adult Terrier mix weighing about 11lbs.  Francis was dumped at an overcrowded, high kill shelter in Texas when she was incredibly pregnant.  The stress of the situation forced her into labor within 24 hours of being in the shelter.  We were SO lucky that Fancis and all her puppie survived until we were able to get them to CO to our safe foster home. Francis has been an amazing Mom.  So many doggy Momma's never care about their puppies and don't have that loving demeanor but Momma Francis has been amazing since day one.  She LOVES her foster humans and wants to be with them as much as possible, but also cares so much about her babies and loves to check on them and take care of them as much as possible.  It shows just how sweet and loving she is with everything and everyone.  Francis loves to snuggle and play with toys.  She loves sunbathing and hanging out with the other adult puppies in the home.  She is just a good, super super sweet girl. She is also very easy going. If you are interested in adopting Francis, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2203192##

Story
Roscoe is a 2-3 year old Terrier mix weighing about 13lbs.  Roscoe was originally rescues from a shelter in Texas back in October.  He was a shelter favorite and because they were so overcrowded they reached out to us in hopes we could take him in before he was euthanized for space.  Roscoe made his way to CO where he was in a wonderful foster home with another dog and a kiddo - he did great with everybody!  He is great on a leash, and listens very well.  He is sweet and snuggly and everything you could ever want in a dog!   Roscoe was adopted from Brighter days at the end of October and we were so excite for him! Unfortunately a couple weeks ago Roscoe was surrendered back to our rescue.  While we feel like we failed him, we try to remember we did the best we could, but cannot control every other human.  Poor little Roscoe is now back looking for his true forever family, a family who wont give up on him.  Roscoe was surrendered back to us because he loves to dig under fences.  He has a high prey drive for bunnies and squirrels, so when he sees one there isn/t much he wont do to get to it.  While Roscoe may never be able to be in a yard (no matter how well it's fenced) without supervision there are tons of easy solutions to this, and Roscoe is the most amazing dog otherwise.  He would do great in an apartment or with someone who has a yard but knows he will need to be walked on a leash.  He would also do just find being tethered in the backyard or with a super secure fence and someone that wont let him out of their sight in the yard.  He gets along great with other dogs and all people.  He is sweet and loving.  His new fosters live in a townhome and say he is just the greatest dog!   If you are interested in adopting Roscoe, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2248793##
