CRICKET's Story

Meet Cricket, a shy dog who needs extra time to warm up to new people. Cricket is active and outdoorsy as he loves to go on hikes and be outside. He does struggle with resource guarding, guarding multiple various items toward both people and other animals. His previous owner stated it was predicatable however, which can make management and training more successful. While he has lived with other dogs before, he can show discomfort towards new dogs and the dogs in his previous home so slow intros to new animals is needed. Cricket needs a mature home due to his guarding and fearful behaviors. Cricket would benefit from a patient home experienced with or willing to work on resource guarding, clear boundaries, and structured enrichment.

Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region's Adoption Policy

You’ll notice each pet will have an info card attached to their kennel with an ID number. Write down this ID number so a matchmaker can give you more information. You will also be asked to complete an adopter survey to help our matchmakers assist you in finding a new pet that’s just the right fit. We limit visitations to two pets per family, per day. This ensures everyone interested in adopting has the opportunity to spend time with their potential new family member. Puppies and kittens 5 months and younger are not able to visit before going home for adoption. Please speak with a staff member for details. Once your visit is complete, you will meet with a customer service representative. We will review any special medical or behavior information and offer tips on how to help you get settled in. Please bring a photo ID and review any pet restrictions that may exist within your lease/rental agreement, HOA bylaws, or city’s ordinances.
