Story
Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Orville #2 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Oh, to be loved by tenderhearted 2-year-old Orville! The 43-pound red and cream beauty, so sweet and so social, loves snuggling and cuddling with his fosters, resting his head on them, rolling over for tummy rubs and then dancing about in delight. Finding his place and fitting in smoothly with his doggy foster friends’ “pack,” Orville is interested in and gentle with children of various ages, and enjoys making new friends of the people he meets on his walks. And speaking of walks … he loves his hour-long walks, honing his leash skills along the way, (he could easily become a sturdy running/hiking companion), and also loves supervised play with neighbor dogs. So bright that he learned to fetch after just one day, Orville is partial to stuffies that squeak, Nylabones and cotton rope toys, and is highly motivated by love, food and toys. He presently knows “sit” perfectly, is polishing his “come,” “down,” “no” and “leave it” commands, sadly gets sick on car rides, but is crate trained and almost fully house-trained. Now, all Orville needs is a loving home, preferably with a securely fenced yard (no cats, paw-lease) and patient adopters to continue bolstering his confidence, complete his training, including his commands, and keep him content, both mentally and physically, fur-ever. See more photos of Orville here! If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls. PLEASE NOTE: The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter. Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets. Here is some interesting info on breed identification: https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online. We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting. Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member! March 2, 2025, 7:52 pm
