Kizer's story

　　Kizer is a loving 1 year old German Shepherd mix. This poor boy was found at a gas station in Texas. He was injured, most likely hit by a car. He was brought to the shelter hoping to receive some help or care. He couldn't put any weight on his front right leg. He was lost, hurt, and alone but he still managed to wag his tail with the vet, and greet everyone that came to see him. The shelter was packed, so he ended up on the Euthanasia list a few days later because of the extent of his injuries. He had until January 6th at 11am to be saved. We saw Kizer and tagged him right in the nick of time when he had only a few moments left to spare! Now that he was rescued it was time to get him the medical attention he deserved! The Shelter amputated his leg, and now he is learning how to walk with three legs! He has been doing WONDERFUL!! Now he is ready to find his forever, loving family. He is no different then any other dog!! Even though he is a tripod, he can do what any other four legged dog could. He would love to be your best friend and tag along for adventures! He is house and crate trained.

　　From his foster: Kizer is awesome! He is housebroken. He gets along with our 6 dogs, and cat! He is Suzanne' s (also adoptable) wrestle buddy. I wish my own dogs were as good with the fosters as he is. He just watched as our indoor cat walks by him. He has not shown any evidence of aggressiveness to my animals.

　　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.
