Making the most of his second chance at life, 3-year-old Murry could easily be called Mr. Personality. At 35 pounds, this happiest of high-energy “hams” lives and loves LARGE, thriving on the attention of his foster mom and impressing her by stretch walking where he drags his legs and walks around – like a cobra pose in yoga! Sweet and snuggly, he loves cuddling with her, resting his head on her, rolling over for belly rubs, showing his paw for even more loving, and having his luxurious coat gently brushed. He’s always gentle around children and to say he LOVES other dogs is an understatement. Murry loves playing with them, reading their cues well, and especially enjoys romping around with them at the dog park. He also LOVES chewing bones, playing fetch, frolicking through the snow, and going for daily walks, runs and hikes with his foster mom. A great fan of salmon skin and liver dog treats, accepting then gently, he’s motivated by love and currently knows “come,” “sit,” “down,” “stay” and “no,” is crate trained and almost fully leash and house-trained. Now Mr. Personality hopes to win the hearts of an especially active home, preferably with another playful pup, that will complete his training, including his commands, and promise to adore him 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 you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application received 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 $300. 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.
