General Notes | Meet Meela, a resilient lab mix puppy who is a true miracle in a small, furry package. Originally from Houston, Meela is the sole survivor of a tragic drowning accident that took her siblings. Despite such a difficult beginning, her spirit remains unbroken, and she has emerged with a heart full of gold and a zest for life that inspires everyone she meets.Meela is the definition of sweet and playful. She has a bouncy, joyful energy that radiates during games of fetch or puppy wrestling matches, but she is equally famous for her world-class snuggles. She seems to have an old soul, offering a gentle and intuitive kind of affection to her human friends. Because she lost her littermates so young, she truly treasures companionship and is looking for a family that will cherish her just as much as she cherishes them. If you are looking for a brave, loving girl who has overcome the odds and is ready to start her best chapter yet, Meela is waiting for you.Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP, and an Adoption Coordinator will be in touch within a few days. Our standard application processing timeline is 12 - 14 days. Personality | Story | Other Dogs | Cats | Children | Training | Leash | Activity Level | Moderate - your typical lab!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!
