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 4-year-old Bouvier Des Flanders. He weighs 110 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 

Delaney

Delaney is 7 pounds, very thin by nature, and can be very spry. She was born 3/5/2020. We do not know her breed, but we are assuming Chihuahua and Italian Greyhound. I took her in in March of 2023, and she was pretty feral. She was rescued from a hoarding situation, and she was very scared and nippy at the time. Today she is lively, happy, and loves to play with other dogs. She is potty trained. Delaney loves food and will take treats from your hand. The problem is I still can't touch her. She gets excited to see me and all, but we have not crossed the last hurdle. She may or may not ever fully come around, but we are optimistic. Delaney just needs a loving person willing to take her in and give her a chance. We are looking for a foster or adopter with a securely fenced yard. She is spayed, up-to-date, and microchipped. She does have luxating grade 3 patellas, but there has not been any issue in the 6 months we've had her. Her adoption fee is $150. Older gentle and courteous children if any. 

mICKEY

Mickey, a three-month-old Parti Standard Poodle puppy, was born on 8/3/23. Currently he is 23 pounds. Mickey and his brother and sister came to Misfits from a person that had lost their home. (We can’t confirm, but this owner was a possible breeder).   Aside from being gorgeous, he has a wild streak. Mickey definitely fits the profile for a “party” poodle as he loves to run and play. He is super smart, independent, and confident enough to explore on his own without straying. He loves to be with people and does great with children. His foster mom is working with him to not jump on people and to stop his puppy mouthy behavior when he gets excited. He is working on potty training, but he is a puppy, so expect to have to continue with his house training.  He is familiar with doggy doors. He likes to talk like a Husky (someone obviously forgot to give him the “you are a poodle” memo. LOL!).  We will require a home with a fenced yard. The Poodle is an active, athletic breed that requires both physical activity and mental stimulation.  We are looking for a home with owners that are active and will provide him with the training he needs. His adoption fee is $550.  He comes up to date on shots, neutered, and microchipped. 

SIS

 Sis has been with me since July of 2022. She is a cute, bow legged, short-haired tan Chihuahua weighing 11.4 lbs. We estimate she is 3 ½ years. Sis fears her own shadow; I have no doubt she was kicked and abused.  I have let Sis come around on her own terms, and she has made progress. She will take treats and gets in bed with me asking to be petted. However, the second I stand up, she is in flight mode. It is a challenge to catch her just to go to the vet, and I wouldn’t dare try to put her on a leash, because she would allegator roll. She eats on her own, uses a pet door, and is good about housetraining. The good news is she loves to play with other dogs and can learn to trust by watching their interaction with people. I would gladly forgo the adoption fee to a person who could give her individual attention. As with Bo, I am committed to keeping her forever, but finding her a more suitable home would make me so happy. She is spayed, up to date, and chipped.

wHISPER

Whisper, a three-month-old black Standard Poodle puppy, was born on 8/24/23.   Currently he is 19 lbs.  Whisper and his brother and sister came to Misfits from a person that had lost their home. (We can’t confirm, but this owner was a possible breeder).  Shy and docile at first, he has quickly warmed up to everyone in his foster home. He is a dog that likes other dogs, but he would also do well as an only dog, because he wants nothing more than to be around his people.  He is very well behaved and smart. He is working on potty training, but he is a puppy, so expect to have to continue with his house training.  He is familiar with doggy doors.  He’s not fond of traveling and gets car sick. His foster mom allows him to ride shotgun, which seems to help (your veterinarian can also provide medication to help with motion sickness). We will require a home with a fenced yard. The Poodle is an active, athletic breed that requires both physical activity and mental stimulation.  We are looking for a home with owners that are active and will provide him with the training he needs. His adoption fee is $550.  He comes up to date on shots, neutered, and microchipped.

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.
