Holly's story

　　Hi!

　　My name is Holly and I am a spunky 11 week old Heeler mix! My sister and I were found as strays in Houston Texas. We were found and taken to a shelter nearby, there we were placed in foster care and told we will be adventuring to Colorado to find our forever homes! We are very spunky pups and love to play! We are very smart so will catch onto commands quickly with treats. We are herding breeds so love to have a job to do. This means teaching us tricks, puzzle toys, or even herding. We love adventures and would love to experience camping, hiking, exploring, or anything outdoors! We get along great with other dogs, cats, and children! We love to snuggle and would make amazing, loyal companions. We are hoping to find forever homes for the Holidays!! This will be our first Christmas so our Christmas wish is to find forever families to spend every Christmas with for the rest of our lives! We are not yet house or crate trained but will learn quickly.

　　These sweet pups 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 these pups, 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.
