ginally adopted out as a puppy in 2013 and was just returned back to our group because she didn’t care for the infant grandchild. We are guessing her age to be 4-5 years old and hew breed to be a Chihuahua mix. Sophie loves to cuddle on you lap or a soft blanket. She is a low energy girl who enjoys a small amount of play time with other dogs and toys. She loves to go on walks, but does not need a lot of exercise. Sophie is kennel trained, but will likely not need one in her forever home. She is potty trained in her foster home with a doggie door. Sophie has done well meeting new people, but prefers calmer people. Sophie loved being around older children, but shouldn’t be around young children due to her history and her desire for a quiet, calm home. Sophie has done well around all dogs, but feels more comfortable with dogs her size. Sophie would love a forever home that is fairly calm. She should do fine in a home with or without other dogs. Sophie would love her new home to take her on frequent walks or chores to get out of the house (she did great at home depot!). She should do fine in a home or apartment. No small children, please. If you are interested in adopting Sophie, please submit an adoption application located on our website, coloradocaninerescue.org. We are asking for a $200 adoption donation. She is spayed, housebroken, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Please note, CCR cannot guarantee the breed composition or ages of our dogs as we usually have no history prior to them entering the shelter. In addition, most dogs listed as potty trained will experience an adjustment period as they learn the routines in their new home.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
