Cayenne's Story

Meet Cayenne!<br/><br/>If joy had four legs and a wagging tail, it would be Cayenne. This beautiful Husky/Shepherd mix is still very much a puppy at heart. She's equal parts goofy, playful, and endlessly sweet, with a tail that rarely stops wagging. Whether she's galloping toward a favorite toy just to toss it around by herself or happily rolling around in the grass, Cayenne has an infectious zest for life that makes everyone around her smile.<br/><br/>When Cayenne first came into rescue, she had every reason not to trust the world. She was found wandering the streets, severely malnourished, pregnant, and barely hanging on. The small scars on her face are quiet reminders of a difficult past—but they don't define her. What defines Cayenne is her resilience, her forgiving heart, and her incredible ability to love.<br/><br/>She adores people and is wonderful with kids, dogs, and other animals. While she's incredibly loyal and loves being with her family, she's also wonderfully independent. She's perfectly content sleeping outside the bedroom and often chooses to spend time outside simply soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the grass.<br/><br/>Like any young Husky mix, Cayenne has a playful stubborn streak and will thrive with a family committed to daily exercise, consistency, and continued training. She's smart, energetic, and eager to be part of an active home that embraces her puppy spirit.<br/><br/>Simply put, Cayenne is a delight. She has completely stolen our hearts—so much so that my husband, Tim, has repeatedly suggested we keep her ourselves. (The only thing stopping us is knowing that if we did, we wouldn't have room to continue fostering pregnant moms like her.)<br/><br/>Whoever adopts Cayenne won't just be rescuing a dog—they'll be gaining a loyal best friend, a daily source of laughter, and one of the sweetest souls we've ever had the privilege of fostering.<br/><br/>If you're interested in adopting Cayenne, apply online at www.uppupandaway.org. Meet and greets only happen once approved as an adopter. If you're already an approved adopter or foster, feel free to DM your interest.

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.
