Available for Adoption: Bo

Sweet Bo was found standing in the middle of the road one cold winter day in November, and thankfully his finder was willing to take him home to safety. She made him up a warm bed and got some food in him and then called the number on his collar.

Bo’s owner recently moved out of state and left him with an acquaintance where he thought he would be okay. Turned out the acquaintance did not take him inside at night even though it was below freezing, and were not keeping him safely contained. The owner surrendered him to the finder and asked her to find him a better home. She contacted For Pets’ Sake and we got him to to the vet.

They think he’s about 10 years old. His rear knees are very enlarged and they’re not sure why. It could be from a previous trauma or perhaps it’s genetic. At this point there’s nothing that can be done to correct them, but we’ve got him on some pain meds in hopes that he can be a little more comfortable. He gets around okay, but has a stiff gait that appears uncomfortable.

Bo just needs to find his special person that wants a sweet companion and wants to make the last few years of his life as comfortable as possible. Currently fostered near Cortez, Colorado. Please let us know if you’d like to meet Bo, by calling 970-565-PETS.

Available for Adoption: Charlie

This is Charlie. Charlie is a 3 year old spayed lab mix. Tragically, her owner died very suddenly leaving her homeless. She’s been an outdoor dog, and is desperate for attention. She is quite overweight, and could really benefit from a home where she will get plenty of exercise.

She’s been in her foster home about 2 weeks and has already lost over 6 lbs. so it’s simply a matter of overfeeding. She’s up to date on all her vaccines and we had blood work done to see if there were any thyroid issues and her numbers are perfect. She’s heartworm negative and on both heartworm and flea and tick preventative.

Charlie is sugar sweet and loves people. She’s living with 7 other dogs and is doing very well. She’s been around cats briefly and seems to ignore them. She’s really just about the people. Charlie is fostered in the Cortez Colorado area. If you’re interested in being Charlie’s hero, call us at 970-565-PETS.

Available for Adoption: Jerry

Meet Jerry!!! Jerry is excited to see you, he’s excited to see the other guy, he’s excited to see everyone. He is a big love bug and just eats up the attention and is so so sweet.

Jerry has a tragic story. His owner committed suicide while Jerry was in the house. Thankfully one of the owner’s friends was able to get him out shortly after and has been caring for him ever since. He loves people so much he runs up to everyone, will jump on them if invited and hug them and is such a lover. He’s a little bit reactive with other dogs, so introductions will need to go slow. Cats are an unknown so probably not a great idea. He has been around the children and did well, caution and supervision is always advised with kids and dogs.
