They were severely dehydrated and too young to be away from their momma and needed a little extra support so we received a rescue transfer request. We agreed and now they are old enough to go into their forever homes. They were turned in by themselves with no mom so we are using our best judgement based on their looks and temperaments to try and guess their breeds. We have 4 boys in this group - Aspen, Canyon, Forest, and River. Current Behavior: Very smart and outgoing. These are high energy babies who love to play and wrestle. They love toys, snacks, and lots of love and attention. They love all the other dogs they have met, loved the cats, and are just awesome babies who would love their own families to play with and then cuddle up with to watch some tv. Housetraining- Currently using puppy pads and learning to use a dog door. Their ideal home is active with lots of attention and outdoor activities. They will do best with older children who can keep them busy and a family who can keep up with them. Hikes, walks, runs, tug, fetch, maybe agility - they would love it all. Neutered, microchipped, and current on all vaccinations Adoption Fee $250 We do welcome out-of-state adoptions. Adopters must make arrangements to come out to meet and complete the adoption.
