Crouched contentedly over one of her favorite toys, velvety black and white beauty Alexis is learning how wonderful freedom feels. Forty pounds of sweetness mixed with shyness, she may be new to trust but she’s certainly not new to play! With the adorable habit of wiggling a lot, and eagerly motivated by love, food and attention, Alexis, who entered our care from a high kill shelter in New Mexico, is gaining in confidence daily and growing into the most loyal of companions. As she gets comfortable, she is also a cuddler and thinks she is a lap dog. What she needs now is a patient and loving fur-ever home to continue her doggy education, with a dog her own size or larger to play with. She plays well with little dogs inside, but outside forgets she is much bigger than them.

 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 $345 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.
