Please note that we only adopt to homes in or near by Penrose, Canon City, Colorado Springs, and Denver. We also do not adopt to families with small children for the protection of both the dog and the children.

 Available dogs are listed below. Please read carefully the information provided as you scroll down.

For an adoption or foster application, CLICK HERE   Note, all fields must be filled out for your application to go through. You will be contacted if your application is chosen to move forward. A home visit is required.  We also do veterinary checks on your current animals.

All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, microchipped, and have their teeth cleaned if needed.

  All applications must have a specific dog in mind for us to begin the adoption process. I'm sorry but we are not staffed to process applications for general future reference, and  we are not set up to recall individuals with requests for a dog based on descriptions of what they are looking for.

BO

Bo is a 3-year-old Bouvier Des Flanders. He weighs 103 pounds. He was left alone a lot and kept escaping from his previous owner. He really just wants to be with his person. He's not one to wander when the owner is nearby. When you're away, you're going to need a secured 6-foot fence as he will do anything in an effort to go with you. He broke his teeth when left in a standard extra-large kennel. He now has free roam or is left in a safe house kennel. He is a devoted dog. Bo has not received much training and will jump on you when excited. He also has been known to have accidents in the house. Bo does not like large dogs, especially outside of the home. He gets along with littles under close supervision. With people he is terrific! He's a total love bug even around children. We are looking for someone with the breed knowledge, owns a home with a 6-foot fenced yard, has training experience, and wants a dog that will follow you to the ends of the earth. Bo does have a medical issue. He has chronic Pancreatitis and requires a low-fat diet. He's really smart. I think he will really come around with the right person. He is neutered, up to date and chipped. and has had a dental. His adoption fee is $275 

Carson

   Carson is a 13-year-old, 12 lb., wirehaired Terrier mix. Even though he is a senior, he is quite spunky and can dance on his feet!  Sadly, he lost his home when his owner went into a busy, senior independent home.  He was not welcomed to stay, because he alert barks at strangers. He would like a quiet home perhaps with a senior. He prefers men. Once he gets to know people, he greets them with happy jumping and zoomies.  (He really wants to enter a dance contest.)
Carson, as is his breed, can be grumpy with another dominant dog.  He needs an owner that understands how to work with an alpha dog.
Carson would love a home with an active senior who will take him on walks and for car rides.  He loves to sleep under the covers.  He will need a seasoned groomer, because he doesn't enjoy the spa experience. 
Carson has had his teeth cleaned and is up to date on vaccines, and he is microchipped.  His adoption fee is $150.   

Odin

Odin is a 4-year-old, poodle mix. He weighs 14 pounds. He came to us for being aggressive in the shelter. He was returned to us for snaping at a couple guests that came into the home. We have not seen any aggression here even with visitors. He has white fur with tight little curls but is shaped more like a Bichon. Odin had a cherry eye that had complications after the surgery. His previous owner kept putting drops in in but never treated the underlying problem. This resulted in a necessary complete removal of his eye. Something that could have been prevented. He's a little sensitive around his eyes and ears. Someone was probably messing with them a lot. He will need an experienced groomer. He is generally like a lot of poodles. He is a Velcro dog and loves to cuddle. He is food motivated and will sit for treats. He gets along with other dogs but would prefer to be an only dog, with no kids and not a lot of traffic in the home. He wants you all to himself. He doesn't like car rides but does like walks. He is potty trained. He has good teeth and is in overall good health to the best of our knowledge. He will make a great companion for someone. We are asking for no children please. He gets startled when he can't see on the one side. A calm house would be ideal. He likes to be with his person, so someone home a lot is preferred. He is up to date, chipped, neutered and ready for a new home. His adoption fee is $275.

To prospective adopters:

​It is true rescuers are more particular of who they adopt dogs to. We see all the horrible treatment of animals every day. We literally rescue dogs from the poor or abusive treatment of humans. In my personal opinion, society has evolved to where owning a dog is a right and privilege. Most people consider only what they want and not what is right for the dog. That is why once a dog is in our hands, and consequently in our hearts, we make sure that  anyone who adopts  an animal from us has a good life to offer the dog. It is not an easy task. Everyone wants a dog. We try to screen people first before getting too involved with helping them find a dog, or we would be simply selling dogs. We are also a strictly a volunteer organization. Most of us work at least part-time jobs. Our time to the rescue is valuable and limited. We believe that anyone who is sincerely a wonderful potential adopter will endure the process.
