My story

  Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Amber finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our  adoption application  so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours  (please check your spam folder for our emails).   Meet Rose   Rose is a 12-pound brindle chihuahua mix with a curly tail and a surprisingly adventurous soul. She might be small, but she lives large - whether she’s trotting confidently on a hike, climbing rocks like a little mountain goat, or leaping into sprinklers with pure joy (yes, this chihuahua loves water!). Rescued from a hoarding situation in Denver, Rose is slowly blossoming into the dog she was always meant to be. She’s still shy, especially with human touch, but she’s made inspiring progress...going from hiding and trembling to walking proudly beside her foster family. While she’s not quite ready for cuddles, she’s curious, observant, and determined. Her perfect home will include a calm, friendly dog companion(s) - she thrives by watching and mimicking other pups and needs that support to keep growing. With structure and routine, Rose is housebroken and even barks when it’s time for a potty break. She doesn’t love kennels but is trustworthy when left alone and adores curling up in her oversized gray bed for some good sun-drenched naps. Rose may always be a little more independent, but she has so much love to give in her own quiet way. All she needs is patience, kindness, and someone who sees the beauty in her gentle, brave spirit. Could your home be where this Rose finally feels safe enough to bloom?     Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails). If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives!  A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.  The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.  Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking  here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls. PLEASE NOTE:  The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter.  Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets.  Here is some interesting info on breed identification:  https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online.  We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting.  Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rose #4, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
