Heinz was adopted!

❤️ Happy Tail! ❤️ Heinz arrived in rescue in fairly rough shape. He was surrendered after something happened to his elderly owner who obviously had not been able to provide a lot of care for this sweet boy, other than feeding Heinz too much.

Then an amazing couple asked to meet him and they loved him right away. We took a walk during the visit and Heinz was a dream. For such a big boy his energy is great! Well, he was adopted that day and his new dad reports that they do daily walks in their beautiful neighborhood and that Heinz is up to a couple of miles. This smiling boy lucked out for sure! 🐶🎉🐾

Chloe was adopted!

 Happy Tail!  Oh my goodness, we are so far behind in posting adoption collages. We have had lots of adoptions, so here we go!!

Sweet Chloe came from a local shelter where she’d been surrendered due to a bad skin condition. This sweet young girl came to rescue right around the holidays. She pretty quickly found a family who were very interested in helping her heal up and being her forever home. Chloe is living a wonderful life now and getting tons of love. Her skin condition is all cleared up and her fur has grown in and is soft as can be. Her happily ever after is well under way 

Micah (aka Sammie) was adopted!

❤️ Happy Tail! ❤️ We’ve been so busy with adoptions that we have a backlog of happily ever afters to share 🎉 Let’s start with this sweet little girl who somehow found herself in a rural shelter. She arrived as Micah, but these former adopters have named her Sammie. Sammie is loved by one and all, including her new big brother Milo who also came from our rescue. This little one has a great future! 💕🐶🐾

Lucy was adopted!

 Happy Tail!  Little Lucy is a sweet senior who needed a new home. And it only took her a few days to find her perfect new home since we had the perfect application waiting for someone just like her. We love when this happens and there is as little disruption as possible in a sweet girl’s life. Here’s to Lucy’s happy and comfortable new future with this loving family! 

Snowy and Butters were adopted!

 Double Happy Tail!!  This is a really special one… This man applied to adopt several months ago, but was in the process of moving away from Colorado and we just weren’t able to get it done before he moved. Well, he kept an eye on the web page and when he saw Snowy and Butters were in need of a special home, he called and the wheels started turning to make this happen. Days before Christmas he drove through a snow storm to get to Colorado where we used the play yard at Best Friends Wheat Ridge for our sunny but chilly meet and greet. He loved the boys already and the boys adore their gentle and caring new dad.

As you may recall, Butters came in with an old break in his front leg. Our vets and a wonderful orthopedic surgeon fixed him up so that he’d have a more comfortable and active life. The Adopter and his vet are continuing to help sweet Butters rehab from the surgery. Snowy is a cutie who just needed some work on his manners and excitability. The boys and their dad headed out and made it home for a family Christmas Eve with the whole family and new furry relatives.

This is truly a happy Tail – two very happy Tails to be sure!! 

Thor (aka Winston) was adopted!

❤️ Happy Tail! ❤️ Thor (now named Winston), the “Schnauzer-adjacent” cutie who was a stray in southern New Mexico, found his furever home and is living the good life now! This loving big boy caught us a bit off guard when he came off the transport van since he was quite a bit bigger than our normal arrival, but what a sweet boy he is. His new people tell us “Winston has completed our family. We just love him.” Hurray for Winston and his peeps!! 🎉🐾🐶💕

Rocky was adopted!

 Happy Tail!  Earlier this month we told you about Rocky, a sweet 14 year old whose owner moved away and left him behind. The roommate in the home where he was left brought him to a vet clinic in Albuquerque since the large dogs in the home were beating Rocky up. Well, through the magic of social media, and a dedicated office manager at the vet clinic, we were able to bring him into rescue. Two wonderful young women in the area arranged to foster him while he waited for his dental surgery this week provided through the incredible generosity of Petroglyph Animal Hospital. Well, when the foster family thought about sending him on the next step of his journey this weekend, they just couldn’t bear the thought of not having him with them after he’d gotten so comfortable and happy. So……we have our first out of state “foster awesome”!! Thank you to everyone who was involved in getting this deserving senior his happily ever after.
