We are a non-profit organization and we are completely 100% volunteer run. We DO NOT have a shelter and only approved applicants can make appointments with our foster homes to meet the dogs we have.Our volunteers will not discuss dogs we have available for adoption UNTIL you have an application on file and are approved to adopt.General Notes | Want to adopt this dog?  Please do not email us.  Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP.  Health Notes | Paquita is a healthy 8 month old puppy.Other Dogs | Paquita LOVES other dogs and would love to have a canine sibling who will PLAY with her! She might be petite, but she is scrappy and can hold her own against her 60 lb foster sister. She responds well when her foster sister tells her that play time is over even though she would really like to keep playing. Cats | UnknownChildren | Paquita loves kids, but she's still learning not to jump and mouth when she gets really excited which will likely be too much for littles.Training | Paquita is very food motivated! She can sit on command and is working on stay, down, off, and leave it. She responds well to no and to redirection. She is very smart, but there are just so many distractions and playing is just so much more fun! She will need a family who is committed to consistently, patiently working with her on her training. She is crate trained and stays in the crate at night and during the day while her foster parents are at work. She had a few accidents in the house the first day but is doing well when given consistent potty breaks outside. She has not offered to be destructive in any way.Leash | Paquita is working on her leash etiquette. A front clip harness is helping her remember not to pull when she sees a dog or human she wants to meet (spoiler alert: she wants to meet ALL the dogs and humans!).Activity Level | Paquita is HIGH ENERGY! She needs lots of play time, human interactions, and room to run. Her ideal family will be active and have a yard and a canine sibling to help keep her entertained. Personality | Paquita is extremely sweet and affectionate. She hasn't met a human or dog she doesn't want to be besties with. After she's expended some energy, she will gladly curl up next to you for snuggles until it's time to play again.Story | Paquita was recently surrendered by a family who loved her and cared for her. They realized their current season of life wasn't allowing them to give her the attention, exercise, and training she needs to thrive, and we are very grateful they reached out to Mile High Lab Mission.Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Puppies to 1 year - $425, 1-6 years - $375, 7-10 years - $325, and 11+ years - $175. Purebreds are $475 regardless of age. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $600 per dog).Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only.  To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process.Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption.We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved.  Your application is good for 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle. September 29, 2022, 4:53 pm
