Pets come into our lives and touch our hearts. Sometimes they change us forever.
For Sybil Miller, that pet was Boris – a Bernese mountain dog who would have continued to swelter under Florida’s sun if Sybil hadn’t flown from Colorado to rescue him. Sybil had been looking for a Bernese but couldn’t find one in a Colorado shelter; the breed was so popular there, no one had one available. When she contacted the Florida shelter, they were thrilled that Boris had finally found a loving home and could be the mountain dog he was meant to be.
The experience taught Sybil that certain dogs that are in high demand in Colorado mountain communities, such as Labradors, Newfoundlands, Huskies, and Heelers are often considered unadoptable in other states. With the help of a group of dedicated volunteers, Sybil decided to start a local rescue dedicated to finding homes for these types of dogs. And so Mountain Pet Rescue was born.
We look forward to helping you find the perfect family member to join your loving home!
Meet Junebug, a 2 month old, 6 pound Border Collie mix! Unlike her sister, Junebug’s ears only pop up when she bounces around playing and that’s ok because it’s pretty cute to see! Junebug loves to be chased with toys in her mouth, show off how fast she is and enjoys getting her toes wet when playing in water. For successful housebreaking, training, and socialization, she will need a home where people are home throughout the day. To adopt or foster Junebug, please apply at mountainpetrescue.org
Meet Cricket and her adorable ears that popped up this week! Being a typical happy puppy, Cricket loves racing around the yard with her sister and showing off instincts of her Border Collie mix. She enjoys the love and attention from her foster family, and is learning that big dogs are friends too. Cricket is 2 months old and for successful housebreaking, training, and socialization, she will need a home where people are home throughout the day. To adopt or foster Cricket, please apply at mountainpetrescue.org
🧡 Duck’s foster family sent us an update. 🧡
Duck went on his first camping trip and did GREAT. He loved sleeping in the tent, hanging around the campsite and hiking where he already has excellent recall. Duck loves playing tug of war and running around with our dog or cat. He’s a great mix of being playful and eager to join in on activities, while also being a pretty easy going/relaxed pup (who loves to cuddle given the chance). Now almost 4 months old, Duck is ready to find his perfect home just like his sister Sunny (Bunny) did! To meet Duck, apply at mountainpetrescue.org
We collaborate with other animal welfare organizations to help find good homes for pets in need – no matter where the pet is located or what organization it is with.
We support our volunteers by showing them the respect, professionalism and responsiveness that they deserve, so that they find volunteering with Mountain Pet Rescue to be a valuable, rewarding, and enjoyable experience.
We provide basic education and training to the general public and to those who foster and/or adopt, so that our pets receive proper care in their new homes and lessen the need for rescue. Education and training topics include basic behavioral skills for pets and their owners, basic first aid and the importance of spay and neutering.
We have developed a system that is informative, timely and organized. We routinely track pet status’, communicate with the public and volunteers, and respond to questions and/or concerns within 24 hours to ensure a successful experience in pet ownership, education and fostering.
