ial needs sweetheart may be deaf, but this hasn’t dampened her spirit or slowed her step. She’s highly intelligent and highly treat motivated, and while an e-collar on "vibrate" mode gets her attention, especially for "come", she’s also been learning hand signals, and now knows "sit", "stay" and "off" in the house. Very attached to her foster mom, she loves curling up beside her when she sits on the couch, and although Addison rests in her doggy bed during the day, she much prefers sleeping on top of the covers of her foster mom’s bed at night. She likes chewing on bones, ropes and balls, and while she doesn’t play fetch, she does play tug-o-war, and not only does she enjoy being brushed, she also enjoys car rides. Brimful of energy, she loves going for long walks as part of her daily exercise routine, likes meeting new people, and is very playful with other dogs large and small. Excitable when starting her walks, she tends to pull until the vibrations from her e-collar remind her to pull less. And due to her very high prey drive (she’ll readily chase anything from small animals to moving cars) she must always be leashed whenever she’s outside as well as on her walks. Not fond of her crate but fully housetrained, Addison’s ideal home then, is one with at least a 6-foot fenced yard, another dog for company (children 10 years or older), and someone there most of the time who’s committed to patiently continuing her very specific training while ensuring she’s kept mentally stimulated and physically satisfied fur-ever. Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes that every pet should find a wonderful, caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask that you fill out an adoption application form so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application we receive and will contact you as quickly as possible. A home visit will be scheduled before any pet is adopted to a new home. Once a home visit has taken place and the adoption application has been approved, we will ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement form. Our adoption fees help cover the cost of spay/neuter, veterinary exams, vaccinations, microchipping, and foster care, enabling us to save more lives! Adoption fee is $250 and covers microchip, DAPP, Rabies, Heart Worm test and spay/neuter. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application here . We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email ARRColorado@gmail.com for more information, as we can not accept calls at this time. Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online. 2. We'll contact you to schedule a home visit. 3. If the pet looks like a great match, fill out our Adoption Agreement online (or Foster-to-Adopt Agreement), pay the Adoption Fee, and arrange to pick up your new furry family member!

  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.
