My story
From his foster: “ He’s doing well! He can still be a bit reserved at times but definitely opened up when we got home, so I’m sure he will continue to show more personality the longer he’s out of the shelter. I’m not sure if I will be able to stay at the event the entire time, so here are a few tidbits on what I’ve noticed about his personality. - not a fan of the car (just sits there panting and shaking) - either was not allowed or has never encountered stairs before (he will put his front feet on but will not go up or down, but has no issue with the two stairs getting inside the house) - crate trained, only makes a few squeaks if he sees you moving around - loves being outside - doesn’t really pull on the leash but darts around a bit- seems like he is getting used to the sounds of being in a city (a bit barky, so maybe not the best apartment dog) - still is learning manners (jumpy and a little nippy when over excited) - loves to play - has shown no signs of resource guarding - will sit on your lap if you are on the ground - knows how to sit - seems to be potty trained- sleeps through the night no problem - might be a bit of a chewer or just a hoarder (has taken a few random items to the crate but hasn’t destroyed anything) Overall I think he’s a sweet boy that will just need a bit of time to get over some of his quirks! Oliver is sweet/shy boy that is ready to find his family.This sweet boy was rescued from an overcrowded clinic in New Mexico.Interested in this pup? The first step is to fill out the adoption application on our website!! aaanimalrescue.org Check out our Instagram and/or Facebook page for info on where we will be hosting adoptions this weekend! We also host adoption events almost every Saturday at our clinic, 1721 W Harmony unit 102 Fort Collins Co 80526 10am-2pm! Interested in volunteering and/or fostering? Please email us at [email protected] and size disclosure: As a rescue all of our dogs come to us from high-kill shelters or other rescues, so we do not get a lot of background or information on these dogs. We occasionally receive the mother with the puppies, but in most cases both parents are unknown. Because of this we do not know the full breeding of the dogs. We are required to list the dogs based on the breeds provided to us on their records, but they are all mixed breeds as far as we know, and we cannot guarantee the actual breeds of any of these dogs. Since the full breeding of the dogs is unknown we can also only give you an educated guess on the full-grown size of the dogs. All of the current information we have on the dogs is listed in their bio above. More information may be available over email, since a lot of the fosters turn in report cards on how the dog has done in their care. Adoption Process: If you are interested in adopting from us, the first step of our adoption process is to fill out an application online at http://aaanimalrescue.org/adoption_app.html. It takes us up to 24-48 hours to process your application and get back to you, via email. Applications turned in Friday afternoon or Saturday morning will not be seen until the following Monday. We do have applications on site, but are not always able to approve them at that time and many of the dogs will already have holds on them, so we suggest you fill out an application prior to attending a meet/greet. We can place a hold on one dog per approved applicant after a deposit fee has been received, please do not ask to hold a dog if you have not turned in
an application and been approved. If you do not place a hold we cans till schedule a meet/greet, we just cannot guarantee availability of the dog, first serve basis. If you already have an approved application on file, there will just be more paperwork and the adoption fee at the meet/greet, but you will be able to take home the dog/puppy that day! Since we are foster based and not a shelter, our dogs are only available to meet with an appointment scheduled or at an adoption event!
If you have any questions or would like to adopt Oliver, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
