See a dog or cat that you think would be a good fit for you? Click on the "Adopt" button next to their picture. If you would like to foster the pet instead, click on the "Foster" button if available. Your application may also be applied to multiple animals or saved for 90 days should the animal you applied for become adopted before your application is able to be processed.
Once we receive your application, we will speak to your landlord and current pets' veterinarian (if applicable) and call your references (cannot be related to you). If everything checks out, we will then contact you for a meet and greet or home visit if appropriate for that animal. Please keep in mind: If you are not approved for the pet you applied for, it means our adoption team has determined it's not the best fit for that animal, or there may have been other applications in the process when yours was submitted and that animal was adopted. We do have many others who come to the rescue, so please keep your options open. WE WILL CONSIDER APPLICATIONS OUTSIDE OF COLORADO PENDING ADOPTER IS ABLE TO FACILITATE THEIR OWN TRANSPORT, as our resources are limited, and we are unable to retrieve an animal that is not working out in an adoptive home.
You do not have to fight the crowds and wait for a specific event to adopt from us. You can adopt when you are ready and bring your other family members for a true meet and greet. We work hard to make sure that the animal that you adopt is a good fit for your household.
Once you find the right match, we will ask you to fill out an adoption agreement/contract and pay the appropriate adoption fee. Most adoption fees are as follows and include spay/neuter, current age-appropriate vaccines, microchip, and registration. All adoption fees are non-refundable, all fees are used for medical care and expenses of all animals in our rescue and operations costs to continue our life-saving efforts. Our fees are calculated and averaged based on an annual basis of the cost of care for all animals in our care.
Adoption Fees:
The Adoption fees vary from dog to dog. Please be sure to click "details" on any dog to see the bio and adoption fee on all animals listed in our "Available Pets" section.
