Adopt Downie / Striker fromMile High Labrador Retriever MissionBroomfield, CO · listed Oct 10

11. Dillabough / Tribal

Puppy · Female · Labrador Retriever / Australian Shepherd / Mixed · 43 mi from Fort Collins

General Notes | With her striking white coat and unique merle markings, Tribal is a true work of art who stands out in any crowd! Additionally, being double merle, she is deaf, so if you have loud kids, or play in a punk rock band, she could thrive! ; ) She's super playful and is a tiny little spitfire. Her current favorite game is toy/not a toy, and she's exploring the world by putting everything in her mouth. Her second favorite game is "where can I snuggle" and shes approaching professional cuddler status. She's making fast progress on potty training, settles quickly in her kennel, chills out on car rides, and adores other dogs.

No exposure to cats yet, but she's a baby and seems to quickly learn boundaries. She's smart and eager to please.Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP, and an Adoption Coordinator will be in touch within a few days. Our standard application processing timeline is 12 - 14 days. Personality | Super sweet and happy! Very playful, brave and adoring. Story | This crew's mama was found in a hoarding house outside of Dallas with 41 other dogs. Once she arrived in foster, it became clear she was pregnant, and she went on to give birth to 11 perfect puppies! Now the whole family is making their way north to Colorado to find their forever homes!Other Dogs | Great with other dogs! Born to a litter of 11, so they know how to share, haha! Cats | Young enough to do well with kitties with proper intros!Children | Young enough to do well with kind, respectful kiddos. Would love lots of snuggles and pets! Training | In progress. Each foster works with their pups individually. All puppies are working on crate training, potty training, leash training, and basic commands. She sits for treats. Leash | Too little to leash walk, but will learn with time! Our rescue follows “No Paws on the Ground" (NPOG) as a safety protocol for young puppies, primarily used by veterinarians, shelters, and rescues. It means that an unvaccinated or partially vaccinated puppy should never be allowed to put their feet on the ground in any public or communal area where other dogs or animals may have been. These babies love to play in secure yards, and be snuggled and held on family walks.Activity Level | Moderate/High. Typical puppy who loves to play, nap, repeat!Health Notes | Tribal is 100% deaf. Do you have a loud little one or play in a scream band? Tribal could be perfect for you! She is completely unbothered by loud noises and doesn't startle. Thank you! Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $575 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year old, $525 for 1 - 6 years old, $475 for dogs 7 - 10 years old, and $350 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $625. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, transportation to Colorado, and supplies while in foster care (that currently average over $750 per dog).Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet and greets by appointment to approved applicants only.

14. Kai

Puppy (10 months) · Male · Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 46 mi from Fort Collins

Kai and Lotte were found on a dirt road in the middle of winter, abandoned, and spent a few days hiding in the culvert under the road. They were terrified and would not come up to people. Eventually we built some trust between us and got them in a car while a nasty snow storm was approaching. Now they are happy normal puppies, running and playing until they drop. They are small/medium size, very cute and have amazing cat-like walk. They are attentive and smart, they look you straight in the eye trying to guess your thought. We are looking for a patient owner who knows what to expect from this age and who is able to let them out several times during the day. They need a secure fenced yard. Can be adopted together or separately. Adoption fee $325. To adopt please submit an application at http://sannicoladogrescue.com

Adopting a puppy in Fort Collins

Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.

Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
