Brian's story

　　This sweet boy is ready for his second chance at life! This time filled with shelter, food, love and affection!

　　Brian is a loving 4 year old staffordshire mix. Brian was found on a property tied to a chain in a rigged up outside shelter. The shelter has about 3" of dirty water. His ears were severely chewed up by flies. He had other skin issues from the flies eating on his back end, legs and feet. He was very malnourished, skinny, and dirty. He is also heart worm positive from being bitten by mosquitoes. (All Aboard will cover the cost of his heart worm treatment through our partner vet.) He most likely had been an outside dog his whole life.

　　He was picked up by animal control and brought to a shelter. His tail was wagging non stop. Unfortunately because of his condition and the amount of dogs in the shelter he was put on the euthanasia list. We knew this boy needed a second chance, he has so much love to give. We tagged him and now he is coming to Colorado to find his forever family! He is house and crate trained. He does well with dogs, people and kids! We are not sure around cats because he hasnt been around them yet. But he is a total sweetheart!

　　From the foster: Hes an amazing dog that has adjusted well from being ignored on a chain and denied food and water on and off for years. He is a food enthusiast and loves naps on the couch and cuddles. He gets along with other dogs.

　　He is crate trained and knows sit and no". He does really well on the leash, and loves to please. All he wants to do is make people happy. He is very appreciative to be alive and finally well! He doesnt understand the concept of his 43-pound size and loves to sit in our laps.

　　This sweet boy will be available at our adoption event this coming Saturday at the Fort Collins Petco 2211 S. College Ave from 10am-1pm. If you are interested in this friendly boy, please submit an application through our website aaanimalrescue.org. Please feel free to email with any questions [email protected].

　　Breed 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 at our adoption event, since a lot of the fosters turn in report cards on how the dog has done in their care when they drop them off.

　　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 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 processed since we are preparing for or at our adoption event. We do have applications on site at our events, 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 an adoption event. 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, for the first hour of our adoption event, so that they can get the first chance to meet and hopefully adopt that dog. After the first hour of the event all dogs are available on a first come, first serve basis. If you already have an approved application on file, there will just be more paperwork and the adoption fee at the event, but you will be able to take home the dog/puppy that day. Since we are foster based and do not have a location, our dogs are only available to meet at our events, unless otherwise noted.
