Story
I am a 4yr old Australian Shepard mix and I am sweet, gentle, soft, fluffy pup and I'm ready for an adventure! I get a little nervous meeting new people, but once I trust you, I expect butt scratches right away- and if you stop scratching me, I'll remind you to please continue. I like my personal space, but I equally love hugs and kisses at the right time too. I love my kennel, I use it for naps and sometimes to sleep at night, or just to feel safe. I have a very silly personality and sometimes when I shake my head my tongue flops out since I'm missing a tooth- it's a cool trick of mine. I love sleeping and playing with my two other dog siblings all day. I also have super cool eyes, but they just need some eyedrops everyday so that I can see better, but I'll just lay here while you put them in for me! I love being outside, especially with a few inches of snow on my back in a little dirt bed I made myself. Hiking, camping, rock climbing- lets go! I'm always looking for a reason to get on my harness and get out of the house to explore and I love a car ride! Dog parks are some of my favorite places to be and I love swimming in creeks too. I am kennel/potty trained and know all my basic commands. I'm still working on my leash manners and reactivity. I'm not very food motivated with training but I'll do just about anything for some butt scratches! (and maybe I'll do my butt scratch tap dance for you if I REALLY like you) I love living with other dogs but I'd do best in a home without cats. I haven't warmed up to small children/babies just yet. Sometimes when our baby wants to play with me, but I don't want to play with her, I get a little upset and leave. It would be ideal that any children in the home would be old enough to understand my boundaries. Children 13 years old and older might be best. My mom gets me super durable bones and toys to play with and LOTS of bouncy balls for fetch- my favorite! My ideal home could have dogs or could not- I am happy either way. It would also be a place where I got a lot of love and pets, lots and lots of adventures and outdoor time, and a mom and/or dad who just want to spoil me. I'd do best without cats in the home and with children 13 years of age or older. My adoption fee includes a personalized training program.

Story
Highlights: -Needs another more confident dog already established in the home -Would do best with a fenced yard -Prefers older children Meet Millie, a 27 pound girl! Though shy with new people, Millie blossoms into a social butterfly with people she trusts. She excitedly play bows and does the most adorable zoomies around her familiar human friends, grinning and hopping around joyfully. She can also be seen wagging her rear and tossing around a toy from time to time. Millie does well with other dogs and is comforted by their presence. Though she prefers they respect her personal space while she gets to know them, she becomes a total goofball and is very playful once she's comfortable with another dog. Millie would do best in a home with a canine sibling to help her adjust to her new life.Because she can be skittish at first, Millie would do best in a home with a fenced yard. We recommend a home with no young children as she prefers a quiet, calmer environment. Millie will thrive in a patient home with another confident dog. She has so much joy in her heart and lots of love to give to her forever family!If you would like a chance to be Millie's family and watch her blossom, please apply at NMDR.org.- - - -Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization. As a result, there is often an adjustment period when learning about life as a family pet. Because some of our dogs are very under socialized, they may not be a good fit for young children. Homes with older children will be considered on an individual basis. Common skills such as house training and leash walking will often take extra time. Patience, understanding and a gentle hand are a must. The great news is, many of these dogs come around with patience and being a part of their rehabilitation is an extremely rewarding experience.

Story
Meet Biggie, the 47-pound Australian Shepherd Husky mix whose zest for life and boundless energy make him impossible to ignore. Biggie is a people-loving adventurer who thrives on new experiences. He especially enjoys going for walks, where he can indulge his curiosity with all the intriguing sights, sounds, and smells.Biggie is not just friendly with people; he's also incredibly playful with other dogs. His high energy levels mean he does best with canine companions who can keep up with his spirited play. Due to his curious nature, a 5-foot fence is essential to keep this mischievous pup safe.A natural explorer, Biggie would make a fantastic hiking partner. His playtime with friends is filled with excitement and a bit of mischief-he's been known to steal his kennel neighbors' beds or blankets whenever he can get a hold of them.Biggie requires a lot of mental and physical stimulation to keep him happy and engaged. Are you ready to welcome this lively and affectionate pup into your home? Biggie is eager to find a forever family who can match his enthusiasm for life and join him on countless adventures.- - - - -Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization.

Story
Meet Jedi, a wise and gentle Mini Australian Shepherd with a calm and endearing nature. This little guy will happily approach you for treats, though he's still finding his confidence with humans. Jedi will thrive with a patient and encouraging family that can help him feel safe and secure in his new world.Jedi gets along well with other dogs, but only those who match his calm, easygoing energy-high-energy dogs tend to make him nervous. He's happiest when he finds one or two special friends to stick with in the play yard, showing he bonds deeply with his chosen companions. He would love to have a calm dog friend in his new home who can be both his buddy and his anchor.This clever boy is motivated by treats and daily exercise, and he would love a gentle, steady routine that includes peaceful walks. Jedi might seem a little shy at first, but with the right person by his side, he'll show his loyal, sweet heart-proving that learning to love him is a journey worth taking.- - - - -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.

Story
Are you looking for a guy who will love you unconditionally? A friend who wants nothing more than to be by your side through all life’s ups and downs? Well, this little Potato (Mr. Potato-head to his foster family) may be your soul mate! With a playful spirit and even bigger heart, Potato loves everyone he meets, and especially enjoys playing with toys and other 4-legged friends. His sweet nature and bouncy personality is sure to bring endless joy to any home.   One of Potato’s best qualities is his loving personality and desire to make you happy. He’s doing an excellent job potty training, as well as spending time in his kennel overnight or during the day for a few hours.     His ideal family would have room for him to run around, lots of toys, and a 4-legged sibling (or 2!) to play with. He does well with children but does have those sharp puppy teeth that can occasionally find their way to clothes and small fingers, accidentally. He’s done well open-feeding but is also highly treat-motivated, which makes training easy-peasy. This pup was rescued from a shelter in New Mexico. Meet and greets are by appointment only.  An approved application is required to schedule a meeting. Check out our events page for upcoming open adoption events! We have no additional back story or update for this dog at this time.  When we do, it will be updated here.  This is all the information we have currently. Approved Applicants may make the adoption fee payment by clicking donate above.  Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. Dogs adopted with our rescue come with FREE training from #GoodPup to help you build strong bonds from the start! If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded. Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free Pet insurance.  We are not affiliated with Pet First pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect).  Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico.  While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.   More questions?  Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/  Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.  A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs.  Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive.  From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639 ##2158294##

Story
HOMEOWNERSHIP REQUIRED! Meet TicTac! This perfect little girl is just everything you could ask for in a pup! TicTac is up to date on puppy shots, chipped and spayed. She is 5 months old and about 15 pounds. She is basically every positive adjective you can think of! She's energetic when it's play time, but knows how to stay calm during down time. She's infinitely smart and picks up on your body language instinctively. She loves her person's attention more than anything, but also knows how to entertain yourself if you need a moment or are busy. TicTac has not been exposed to kids or cats, but given how loving she is with everyone she meets, I don't think she'd have any problems with either! She gets along wonderfully with my two big dogs and gets right in there during playtime! TicTac is a little shy in new situations but readily puts her trust in you and gets comfortable pretty quickly. She does have some crate anxiety, but does better every day. It seems she just needs to build trust with her humans, that they will always come back. In the couple weeks she's been with us, she's almost completely picked up on potty training, uses puppy pads like a champ, has learned ‘sit’, and picked up on a few other phrases like ‘let's go potty,’ ‘are you hungry,’ ‘off,’ ‘come here,’ and ‘no.’ The kicker is, she picked up on all that on her own, zero training or instruction! I can only imagine how awesome TicTac could be with some proper training attention. Completing her potty training should be a breeze! She would be a perfect adventure companion but also could do great in a calmer environment with some regular playtime. She just wants to be involved and included in your life, no matter what that looks like. TicTac falls in love quickly and is completely ready to find her forever home! Adoption fee includes the following: Spay/Neuter Rabies Vaccination Distemper / Parvo Vaccines (includes series of 3 for puppies) Bordetella Microchip with prepaid lifetime registration Deworming ##2128002##
