Baguette

Baguette came to us as a devoted mama with a litter of puppies, all of whom have since found their homes. Now it's Baguette's turn to find a patient, understanding family who will let her move at her own pace.Baguette arrived at her foster home 2 months ago. At first she was shy and cautious in her new environment. She did not accept too much affection and instead watched and observed. She was given the space she needed and felt more comfortable at a distance. Fast forward 2 months and she has truly blossomed. She has learned daily routine, accepts treats from your hand, knows the sit command, and has possibly become an attention hog. She loves her belly rubbed, head scratches, and lyng by you in bed and on the couch.Baguette thrives in a calmer, lower traffic environment where her humans move slowly and allow her to open up on her own terms. She has shown that she can also feel comfortable and accept affection from visitors.She is currently being fostered with her human mom and dad and with two teenagers who respect her boundaries. She will flourish with adopters who understand that trust cannot be rushed.Where Baguette truly shines is in the company of other dogs. She is currently fostered with both males and females and absolutely loves to play. Having a confident, friendly, resident dog is key. She relies on her canine friends to show her the ropes and give her the "bravery" she needs to navigate the world.Baguette is a smart girl with a classic "Heeler mind" that loves to stay busy. She has learned to use the dog door and adores the freedom of the outdoors, whether she's basking in the sun or frolicking in the snow. While she is still learning the difference between her toys and a stray shoe or a remote control, she is easily redirected with a chew toy. She enjoys puzzle toys and a game of fetch with her fur friends by her side. Now that she feels more comfortable, she is learning to walk on a leash with her fur foster brother by her side. Baguette is looking for a patient family willing to take "baby steps" with her. If you have a playful dog and a heart full of patience, Baguette has the potential to blossom into a loyal and gentle companion.This pup was rescued from a shelter in New Mexico.Meet and greets are by appointment only.

Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded. 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.
