Critter Details

  As LARGE in love as he is in size, affable 1-year-old Atlas is making the most of his second chance at life. The 80-pound beauty with the lush, wintry white coat percolates with puppylike pep, enthusiasm and energy, and yet, he’s also sweeter than sweet. Atlas LOVES being outside in the backyard of his foster home, going for walks, walking best with a no-pull harness, and leaning against his foster mom for pets. Having lived with cats before, he gets along well with dogs of all sizes, interacts positively with older children, and especially enjoys chewing on bones and playing with stuffed toys that he can throw up in the air. Mainly motivated by love, he currently knows “sit” and “no, ” is at work on other commands and his doggy manners, and is almost fully house-trained. The ideal family companion, amiable Atlas will thrive in an active home with a securely fenced yard, and adoring adopters to patiently perfect his manners, complete his training, including his commands, and keep him mentally and physically satisfied fur-ever.   Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure each pet 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). 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 .

Fill out our Adoption Application online.  We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting.  Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!
