Nike Husky Mix Colorado Springs, CO

Nike loves everyone!.... even if they don't love him back. He’s good with kids and other dogs. He especially loves big dogs, but cats are not a good idea. He assumes everyone wants to play with him, so small dogs tend to get frustrated. He is medium sized at 57 pounds of pure sweetness. He loves walks, runs, and car rides. Most importantly, if you are routine, he will thrive! He walks 2-3x per day on a gentle leader with his foster mom and does great! He runs a few times a week with foster dad around 4-5 miles each time. He wants to be with his people, wherever they are. He is full of personality and has a lot of love to give. He has learned commands sit, come, leave it (work in progress), and crate. Nike is house trained.
*Fun Fact: Nike likes to "twerk" for back scratches! (see video)

HOW TO ADOPT FROM PAWS N HOOVES

What do we need to set up a meet and greet? This is an adoption application that you can link to right here. https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/11077/generic

An adoption volunteer will look it over to determine who you qualify for and what we need to get you qualified.

Once you meet the puppy or adult that you want to join your family, we will ask you to put a $100 non refundable hold deposit. This holds your puppy/dog while we get you approved. We will require 2 non relative (including fiance, significant other etc.) nor cohabitating references that can speak to your dog experience, proof of home ownership or a landlord letter with any exclusions and a physical home visit looking for safety issues and discussion of any advance questions. We get personal because we want the very best for these survivors, and we're sure that you do too. You may not qualify for all dogs or any dogs. Please speak to a PNH volunteer if you aren’t sure if you will qualify. 719-500-1880

Once you are approved, we get you set up with your adoption date. Adoptions are online and does via video or phone call. This one is just for the humans. We meet and go through the adoption agreement. This is legally binding, so you will want to pay attention and ask questions. We then finalize you as the adopter in our Petstablished system, which gives you access to all records, coupons, and literature.
We ask for the additional adoption fee, which varies on breed and age. Then you go get your puppy from the fosters home (this is planned in advance)

After adoption, you are required to attend obedience classes with your new puppy at a facility that provides positive only reward based training at your expense with completion in the first 3 months. Adult dogs can receive obedience or behavior training, depending on need. This is at your expense, but.......we refund $100 when you send the certificate of completion!!! ( if you believe fear or force based training methods are the way to go, we are not the right fit for you and will not approve an adoption) shock collars including underground fencing, prong collars, leash whips, etc are all very counter intuitive when asking your new best friend to be the goodest boy or girl possible. Ask us how you can learn more about positive only training. Pawhoofcolorado@gmail.com
