My story

　　Bixby is a loving lab mix! Bixby is a confident, energetic puppy who loves to spend her time roughhousing and playing with her foster brother. She is usually excited to meet new people and dogs and is a consummate snuggler. When it is time for a nap or to go to bed, she prefers to cuddle in close, but if a human is not available, her foster brother will do fine! While she prefers to stick close to people, Bixby is okay being kenneled for short periods. Very treat motivated, Bixby is easy to train and is learning sit, down, stay, come, touch, fetch and is almost completely potty trained. Though not comfortable with car rides yet, Bixby enjoys going for walks and exploring. Bixby could do well as a solo dog if given regular exercise and lots of play time but she would thrive in a home where she has another canine companion of similar (adult) size to keep her company when her people are not home. While she is good with the dogs she has met so far, her reactions to other small animals (i.e rabbits, squirrels, ect.) is to either ignore them or obsess over them, so homes with cats or small dogs should consider introducing her to them before adoption if possible.Interested in this pup? The first step is to fill out the adoption application on our website!! 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!

　　We do host adoption events at Petco or Crunch Fitness next door to Petco in Fort Collins almost every Saturday from 10-12:30pm.If you would like to place a deposit for a puppy for the first hour of the event please email us if you have an approved application. Puppies without deposits will be available at the event first come, first serve. Please note that not all animals attend the adoption events.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 Bixby, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
