Meet Klaira
Klaira has been waiting for a family for over a year now, all because she wants to be the center of attention in her new home. She is dog selective, and recommended best for a home without other dogs or ones that have dogs she coexists with well. A meet and greet is a must for any existing dogs in the home. She has completed heartworm treatment and is now heartworm negative!
Foster update: Klaira settled right in at our house. She loves playing with our 3 year old dog and our kiddos. She is happy to run around after the kids or to cuddle up next to you (preferably with her head on your arm). We were surprised to discover her literally jumping on the trampoline with the kids earlier today. We have also learned that she loves to give leg hugs with her front paws! I love how her ears fold up and over her head when she is focused on something. She is 5 years old so as you would expect, she is fully potty trained, sleeps well and does a good job on walks. We tried out multiple commands on her and she seems to know sit, down, stay and come. She does take antibiotics for her heartworm twice a day and she has no trouble taking it inside a treat. If you are looking for a cuddly, fun girl to instantly fit in at your home, Klaira is your girl!
Volunteer Notes: Wow, what a chonky little mama! She's a tiny little thing and has the cutest floppy ears. She is super friendly and a total extrovert. She loved getting pets and attention from everyone. Took treats gently but only liked the good ones. She cuddled up to me and loved getting some head scratches. Another volunteer came into the yard and she absolutely loved getting his attention too. She did great sniffing other dogs next to us and is overall an amazing gal! She's on the shorter side and is just so cute!

Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free Pet insurance. We are not affiliated with Pet First pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets.
The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.

A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs. Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive. From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddabilityhow well dogs respond to human directionwas the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639
