Labrador Retriever and American Staffordshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Sedalia, Colorado

This pup will be available to meet starting on 5/16

This handsome boy is Ellis and he is truly one of the happiest boys I've ever met. I don't know if he has many thoughts going through his head other than “do you have any snacks?” This boy LOVES his treats. He will sit, give paw, and follow you around until you give him whatever you have. He even tried to look through my bag to find more snacks, but he listened when I told him to wait. He is very smart and knows a few tricks already. He sits patiently but does get excited and jumps when he feels he's been waiting too long. Ellis is also very affectionate and absolutely adores people. He will sit at your feet waiting for pets and if you have treats, you are automatically his new favorite person. He also did really well meeting a calm pup and showed no negative behavior. He was just so happy to be outside - his tail never stopped wagging.

They were rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas.

Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance. We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets.
The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.
