Bilbo's Story

Meet Bilbo!<br/><br/>Bilbo made his way to Colorado all the way from Texas, where he was previously dumped and living on the streets. He had found a temp gig as someone’s guard dog, however, was quickly fired due to poor job performance to guard — Apparently, making friends with everyone you meet doesn’t make you employee of the month. He’s officially in the market for a position as in-house comedian. Bilbo is a goofy guy who keeps his foster laughing.<br/> <br/>Bilbo is overall a happy guy who has never met a stranger. He makes friends anywhere he goes and loves to be part of the action. He is learning how to live in a house for the first time and is picking it up with ease. He is super smart, food motivated, and eager to please aka a triple threat when it comes to learning to be a good boy. He’s mastered sit and down and is working on crate training and potty training.<br/> <br/>Bilbo walks great on a leash and would make an awesome adventure buddy. He’s on the smaller side at 40 lbs. He currently lives in an apartment and does well with walks every day, however, he would thrive with a backyard. He lives with both a cat and dog. With time, he is learning that the cat is a roommate, not a toy.<br/> <br/>Bilbo’s best quality is his off switch. Give him his daily walk, let him get his zoomies out, and he is more than happy to curl up on the couch. He is particularly passionate about morning snuggles and would strongly prefer that his future family respect this important daily ritual.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a friendly, goofy, smart pup who can adventure with you and then come home and chill, Bilbo may just be your guy. <br/> <br/>Bilbo is around 8.5 months old and is fully vetted. <br/><br/>Interested in adopting?

Up Pup and Away's Adoption Policy
How long will it take to process my application? We are a small rescue group who is ran by volunteers. Please allow us at least 3 business days to process your application and we will get back to you as soon as possible! Please note that we are not a first come first serve rescue. No meet and greets will be scheduled until you have gone through the adoption application & have been approved. Why is the adoption fee so expensive? Our rescues come from all over the globe, and their final destinations are here in Colorado. Our rescue runs solely on donations and adoption fees to continue to help as many dogs as we are able. Because our dogs do come from all different backgrounds (young, old, domestic transfers, international transfers, etc….), we must ensure they are healthy prior to adoption and also spayed/neutered (if of age*) to break the cycle of unwanted litters and pet overpopulation. The average spay/neuter cost here in the Denver area is between $250-$450 just in itself! Together, we can stop the pet overpopulation. I applied to adopt, now what? Please note that filling out an application does NOT mean you have been approved for adoption. We will review the applications and if we feel you are a good fit for the dog you are interested in, we will move forward with the adoption process. If we feel you are a great fit for an adopter, but just not for that specific dog, we will keep your application on file for future rescue pups needing homes. We will check your references, and once we feel you would make a great fit, we will schedule a phone screening. If approved to move forward, we will schedule a home check/meet and greet. Please note that just because you would have a meet and greet, you are NOT approved for adopting that dog. We have a strict policy for which dog ends up being adopted by which family. We are NOT a first come, first serve rescue. Meaning, if you are the very first person to apply, this does not mean you are a match. Our mission is to find each of our dogs their perfect home & we request you respect that.
