Saucily sporting a brown “pirate patch” over her left eye is sweet 1-year-old Sammie. Saved from an abusive situation, she swiftly settled into her foster home and puts all of her 19 pounds into being the most snuggly little lap dog around. Happiest when she’s touching her foster mom and showering her with kisses, she’s equally happy learning about all things dog from her older foster sister, following in her paw steps and winning an “A” for effort. She now loves going for walks, honing her leash skills along the way (she may make an excellent hiking companion), and despite her prey drive, she’s been doing well with the resident cats. Coming when called and starting to work on her basic commands, Sammie is mainly motivated by love and is crate trained and almost fully house-trained. With much still to learn and much love to share, this sociable sweetheart will thrive in a loving home that will continue bolstering her confidence, complete her training, including her commands, and keep her happily fulfilled, both mentally and physically, fur-ever.

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 that you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application received in the order they're submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails). If your home sounds like a good match for you and the pet, we will connect you with our dogs' 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 set up. 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 finalize 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. Adopters shall be responsible for all DAPP boosters after adoption.

Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for any rabies vaccinations after adoption.
