Please go to our website at www.milehighlabmission.com to find out more about this pet and to submit an adoption application.
Please DO NOT call or email us; all information about current dogs available, adoption donations, vetting, and this specific dog are on our website.
We are a non-profit organization and we are completely 100% volunteer run.
We DO NOT have a shelter and only approved applicants can make appointments with our foster homes to meet the dogs we have.
Our volunteers will not discuss dogs we have available for adoption UNTIL you have an application on file and are approved to adopt.
General Notes | Lee has so much love to give and wants nothing more than to find a forever home with a human (or humans) to call his own. Give him an ear rub, and he will give you his heart. Ready to fall in love with Lee?
Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP.
Personality | A curious one, Lee likes to be involved in everything you are doing— cooking, yardwork, even bathroom breaks if you'll let him. He is eager to please and so thankful to be out of the shelter. This happy-go-lucky guy loves everything and everyone (except maybe squirrels). The first time Lee went for a walk to the park, he was literally jumping for joy like a leapfrog. He will chase squirrels and zoom around outside, but inside, he loves to curl up next to you and give you kisses. So long as he is near you, he is happy.
Story | Before coming to Colorado, Lee was in a high-kill shelter in Texas. He is very skinny and has not had the easiest life so far. He is looking to find a home to give him lots of love (and treats) to make his days on the streets a thing of the past.
Other Dogs | Lee has been great so far with other dogs. After getting comfortable with one another, he loves to roughhouse with his young foster sister. He has also played with other male and female dogs from ages 1 to 8. He understand social cues well and gives out friendly signals the whole time he is playing.
Cats | Unsure. Lee has not been around cats. While he is super loving, he does exhibit prey drive with squirrels and birds, so he may chase cats.
Children | Unsure. Lee has not been around children. He is very friendly and loves to give kisses, so he may be a bit excited at first to see a human at his level.
Training | Lee is working on nailing down the basics. He knows "sit" and has already learned "down" since being in his foster home. He is currently working on "stay" and "come." The best way to get him motivated is with cheese or sometimes just a good ear rub.
Leash | While he is generally okay, he is very alert and can get excited when he see squirrels. He would benefit from someone who would be willing to work on his leash manners with him.
Activity Level | Moderate. Lee loves to play with other dogs and go for walks, but he also knows when it is time to settle down. He is a great coworker who won't make a peep while you are in your Zoom meetings but will stay close by for a good ear rub.
Health Notes | Unlike most people, Lee's New Year's resolution is actually to gain weight. Can you help him meet his goal?
Thank you! |
Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $475 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $425 for 1-6 years, $375 for dogs 7-10 years, and $250 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $525. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $700 per dog).
Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process.
Please know | 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 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!
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 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
