My story

  Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Amber 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 in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours  (please check your spam folder for our emails) .   Aptly named for her sleek amber coat, shy 3-year-old Amber has slowly emerged from her shell to reveal her supremely sweet nature. At a fit 40 pounds, she’s paw-litely submissive with the other dogs in her foster home as she learns to read their cues, but she now loves joining her fosters in bed for several hours of cozy cuddles in the morning. She also loves resting her head on them and turning over for tummy rubs, learning daily how special a tender touch can feel. Especially sweet around the resident cats, and having re-discovered the joy of playing with toys, Amber’s favorite so far is an antler bone, while her favorite treats are mini Milk Bone biscuits. As these are still early days, she seems to know “come,” and being highly intelligent and mainly motivated by love, she should prove extremely easy to teach. Leash, crate trained and almost fully house-trained, sweet Amber will flourish in a loving home that will patiently bolster her confidence, continue her socialization with people and other dogs, and complete her training, including her commands, in exchange for a love like no other.   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 $375. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.  Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking  here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls. PLEASE NOTE:  The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter.  Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets.  Here is some interesting info on breed identification:  https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online.  We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting.  Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Amber, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
