DaVinci

My story

  Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure DaVinci 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) .   Delighted to have a second chance at life, 5-month-old DaVinci is thriving in his foster home. The sleek 30-pound black and white beauty is sweet with a splash of silliness, hops like a bunny, and is charmingly clumsy as he finds his puppy footing! He not only loves cuddling and snuggling with his fosters and resting his head on them, he loves wrestling with his doggy foster friends and lying outside in the yard, soaking up the sun’s warming rays. Agile, athletic and happiest when active, DaVinci enjoys going for walks, honing his leash skills along the way, and although he’s initially shy when meeting small and medium-sized dogs, he warms up quickly and wants to play with them. Fondest of chew toys and bones, he favors bananas, apples and training treats, is both highly food motivated and highly intelligent, and being eager to learn and to please, responds promptly when corrected. DaVinci has already mastered “come” and “sit,” is learning “leave it,” is at work on his puppy manners, and is crate trained and almost fully house-trained to use a doggy door. Now DaVinci’s dream home is one with active and loving adopters who will perfect his manners, continue his socialization, and complete his training, including his commands, in return for his own enduring loyalty and love.   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 $450 (includes a $50 refundable puppy training deposit). 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!
