Adoption Fee: $475

When available, all animals are fixed in accordance with Colorado law, up to date on vaccines (may need boosters), and microchipped!

What we know: Litter of 6 (3F, 3M) transferred from Raton Humane Society in New Mexico where they came in as owner surrenders. Transferred at approximately 11 weeks old.

From the foster: Rapid (puppy #546) arrived at foster camp determined to earn the Team Spirit award. Her sunny disposition and eagerness to make friends has served her well with both humans and canines alike - even the most prickly among them have been taken in by her charm and good nature! Rapid loves initiating a rousing game of tag with the other campers (even though she seems to always be the one being chased), is a terrific and tug-of-war teammate, and has happily tried every toy on offer. She is an excellent listener who is eager to please, especially if there might be a friendly lap and some snuggles involved. In fact, she enjoys cuddling so much that she sometimes gets distracted from finishing her meal if she spies an opportunity for pets! She is mostly potty trained, and sleeps happily through the night in her crate (though she prefers to snooze in the same room as the camp counselor and staff).

Are you looking to add a happy-go-lucky bunkmate whom everybody wants to be friends with to your cabin? If so, Rapid might be your gal!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
