Tenderhearted Toe, at 6.5 months of age, was rescued from an abusive situation in the nick of time. Found by good Samaritans with one of his legs stuck under a heavy metal fence gate, and bleeding profusely, he was brought to a vet, stitched up, and medicated to prevent infection. Now safe and surprisingly sweet despite his traumatic past, the 25-pound blond beauty thrives on his fosters’ attention, snuggling and cuddling with them, resting his head on them, rolling onto his back to be petted, having his belly rubbed and doing the ranger crawl. Friendly and playful, he gets along well with his doggy foster friends, although he does try to steal their treats from them, enjoys chewing bones, taking rides in the car, and going for walks, honing his leash skills along the way (he loves to roll over during a walk). Motivated by food and love, Toe currently knows “sit,” “down” and “no,” accepts all treats gently, is crate-trained and almost fully house-trained, and at work on his puppy manners. Now his fondest wish is to find an especially loving home with patient adopters who will perfect his manners, complete his training, including his commands, and keep him safe and secure 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 $425.  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.
