Chabot / Skipper

General Notes | Ready to bounce right into his next big adventure! Meet Skipper! Named after the happy, darting little butterflies of the Southern woods, this joyful Lab mix is bringing his bouncy energy all the way to Colorado. After getting a rough start out in the wild country brush, Skipper has left those hard times behind and is looking for a fun-loving family ready to skip into a bright new future together. Skipper is doing wonderful crate training with his foster family. He loves to eat, sleep, sunbathe on the beach patio, play with toys, and snuggle hard! Skipper is learning to love walks on the leash with his foster sister. He's working on potty training and has had no accidents in the house so far. Skipper is very food motivated and will do anything for a belly rub. 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 | Joyful and bouncy, just like the happy little woodland butterflies he's named after.Story | Once upon a time in the deep country woods, a sweet Lab mix named Juniper was left behind. Abandoned when her family moved away, she survived entirely on her own, bravely raising litter after litter in the wild brush. But her lonely days are officially over! Mama Juniper and her six beautiful, thriving puppies have traded their rugged country roots for the fresh mountain air of Colorado to finally find the safe, loving forever homes they've always deserved. To honor the wild landscape where their story began-and the incredible resilience of their mama-we've given this sweet family names inspired by the enchanting flora and fauna of the Southern woods.Dogs | Good with other pups! Cats | This litter has not been cat tested yet, but is expected to do fine with proper intros. Children | This litter is expected to do well with kind, respectful kiddos. Training | In progress! Leash | In progress!Activity Level | Moderate. Typical puppy who loves to nap, play, repeat! Health Notes | Healthy and happy!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!
