coy #2

  Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Coy #2 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours  (please check your spam folder for our emails) .   Coy #2 | 10-Month-Old Mixed Breed | Built Low, Loves Big Coy is a 10-month-old, 40-pound mixed-breed sweetheart with a soft white coat, a big personality, and an adorably unique build— think big dog who’s just a little short in the leg department. Coy quickly becomes everyone’s favorite thanks to his easygoing, affectionate nature and his constant desire to be close to his people. Coy is almost fully house trained and usually lets you know he needs to go out by standing by the door. On leash he’s a fun walking companion, though he may pull a little at times—mostly because he’s eager to keep up with the other dogs who may be moving faster than his little legs can carry him. He absolutely loves other dogs and thrives in their company. Coy enjoys romping, wrestling, and making friends wherever he goes. His enthusiasm can sometimes show up as a bark when new dogs arrive in a space, but it’s more of an excited “let’s play!” announcement than anything else. At home he has had positive interactions with all the dogs in his foster household and even shares space peacefully with cats, whom he mostly ignores. Coy hasn’t met children yet, but given his sweet, gentle nature, we believe he would likely do well with kids of any age. When left home alone for a few hours—“alone” meaning no humans, as he always has canine companions around—Coy has been a perfect angel. He can be crated if needed, though he doesn’t require it. If he is crated, he may voice a brief protest at first, but he settles in quickly. Given the choice, he much prefers being free to relax and hang out with his dog friends.  Coy responds well to structure and gentle boundaries. If he ever realizes he’s done something he shouldn’t, his immediate move is to flop onto his back, show his belly, and ask for forgiveness in the form of belly rubs. Coy has a medium energy level and is happy with a couple of walks or play sessions each day, after which he’s more than content to relax and cuddle. He loves toys, chewing bones, and especially a good game of tug-of-war with stuffed animals or rope toys. He also loves a good “sploot” and, despite being 40 pounds, Coy is firmly convinced he is a lap dog and will happily climb right on top of you so he can be as close as possible. Coy’s ideal home would include a playful canine sibling and a family who appreciates a loving, affectionate dog who wants to be part of everything. Above all, Coy is looking for a home that will adore him as much as he will adore them—and if belly rubs are part of the deal, even better.   If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives!  A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.  The adoption fee for this pet is $450. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.  Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking  here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process!
