CO Foster Update: In keeping with my foster Disney theme, I named this little guy Tigger due to the springs in his feet. He happily bounces when he walks (making the floppy ears extra cute!), leaps over the big dogs with ease, and balances on his hind legs while springing up and down when excited . He has the perfect amount of energy. He actively engages in play (loves to wrestle my dog and chase a ball) and is up for any adventure, but he will also just chill with a bone or a stuffy (does not tear them up). This sweet little boy LOVES to snuggle - he doesn't get all the way in your lap, but instead finds such peace in just being snuggled next to you . Sometimes he even reaches his paw out to gently grab an arm and pull it toward him for pets or just a touch connection - it's precious! Tigger has 100%% embraced the Colorado lifestyle. I took him to the mountains and he had a blast playing in the snow ! Hanging out at a brewery was also right up his alley. He said hello with a calm demeanor and wagging tail to every human and dog in the place. The manager loved him so much he had him working behind the bar ! Tigger is fully house-trained. Although not a fan of the crate, he will only cry/whine for a minute before settling. He travels well in a car and is learning basic commands. He enjoys walking on a leash, but is very curious and will pull to check things out. Everything is new to him right now, but with practice and treats he should learn heel easily. You will not regret opening your home and heart to this special little guy !General Notes | Meet Fredy, a charmingly petite 30-pound Lab mix who proves that the best things really do come in small packages. This sociable little guy is a total social butterfly who thrives in the company of other dogs and greets every four-legged friend with a wagging tail. When playtime is over, Fredy transforms into the ultimate cuddle bug, looking for nothing more than a warm lap and a family to shower with his outsized affection. Want to adopt this dog?

Personality | Fredy is a super cute pocket sized lab who loves to cuddly! He's been friendly with all the visitors that have visited his fosters home and is a super friendly boy! He loves to be petted and is a natural Velcro dog who will follow you from room to room! Story | Pulled from a high kill shelter in Houston. Other Dogs | Fredy has met doggy friends of all sizes and did great! He loves to initiate play and is a happy, playful boy! He is being fostered with a playful golden he loves to play with and an older, less playful Sheltie. He takes cues from the older dog well and is super playful with the golden. Cats | Fredy had not been cat tested yet. Children | Fredy is a sweetheart who could do well with kind, respectful kiddos! He currently isn't being fostered with kids, however. Training | Fredy is potty trained and working on crate training. His foster's WFH so he doesn't get left alone much, but will go in the crate when they occasionally leave. They said he'll cry a bit and prefers when his humans home! He's still a young pup who is still learning to only chew on dog toys, but he responds to the "no" command and is learning the rules in his foster home quickly. Leash | Fredy's foster reported back that he walks great on the leash.Activity Level | Moderate. He loves to play but also enjoys a good, long nap on the couch cuddled up next to you! Health Notes | Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $575 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year old, $525 for 1 - 6 years old, $475 for dogs 7 - 10 years old, and $350 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $625. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, transportation to Colorado, and supplies while in foster care (that currently average over $750 per dog).Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet and greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process. We will not respond to emails about animal availability or allow meet and greets without an approved adoption application on file. Please Note | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption. We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for one year from the date of applying for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle. We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!
