Riley

Riley is a 2 yr old male GSD neutered and up to date on vaccinations. He is slow to warm up to new people and dogs (current foster has 3 dogs and a cat), but once he does he is happy and affectionate. He has made great progress with learning boundaries with the dogs and is curious about the cat but does not bark or chase when they (cat) cross paths. He met my husband and our dog walker after a few days with me (foster) and was taking treats and pets from them after a calm, slow intro. His confidence is growing. He loves fetch and walks. He loves his crate and freely goes in and out during the day, definitely his safe space. Sleeps in his crate at night and sleeps all night. Knows Sit, Stay, Down, Shake, Leave it. Loves belly rubs. He seems less concerned with my female dog (husky/gsd mix @60 lbs) and a little more aware of my larger male dogs. He has made steady progress with the males tho. He responds well to voice redirection and wants to please his human. <br/><br/>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<br/><br/><br/><br/>An adoption volunteer will look it over to determine who you qualify for and what we need to get you qualified.<br/><br/><br/><br/>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<br/><br/><br/><br/>Once you are approved, we get you set up with your adoption date. Adoptions are online through Dropbox sign and phone or video if you have questions. This is legally binding, so you will want to make sure you have your questions answered before signing. We then finalize you as the adopter in our Petstablished system, which gives you access to all records, coupons, and literature.<br/><br/>We ask for the additional adoption fee, which varies on age. Then you go get your puppy from the fosters home (this is planned in advance) Additional $400 for puppies under 1 Additional $350 for adults between 1-6 $ Additional $200 for seniors 6+ $250 for behavior challenged dogs needing extensive training, $250 per dog for bonded pairs (total of $500)We will let you know which dogs qualify for which adoption fee. <br/><br/><br/><br/>After adoption, you are required to attend obedience classes with your new puppy at a facility that provides positive only, reward based training. This is at your expense with completion expected 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
