Yes. Since we've had him, he's had no accidents in the house and learned how to use the doggie door immediately. He takes himself out when he needs to.

We can't say for sure, but he's a sweetheart around humans and it's my gut feeling that he would be fine around kids.

Personality:

Yes

Yes—but still learning some basic manners (such as not to jump on them) and would recommend older kids/kids who are used to being around dogs.

Miley is learning to walk on a leash and improving –  she worked with a trainer, but sometimes still pulls. She’ll need you to be patient and consistent with her.

Personality:

 Miley is a sweet girl and true companion. She had a bit of a rough start in life, but it hasn’t broken her wonderful, friendly spirit. Since being with her foster family she has come out of her shell, and gained the confidence she was lacking. At last, she can run and play and feel like a puppy! Miley loves to be around people, and is a great companion for outdoor exercise or just snuggling on the couch. If you are working on a project, she likes being around in case you need a “helper.” And when you scratch right above her tail, she’ll “talk” to you to let you know it’s her favorite spot!
Miley likes a consistent routine including a good walk, run or hike on a daily basis.  As her foster mom says, she has a lot of “get up and go.” She has learned many commands already: sit, stay, come, wait, off, down. She has taken some training at Broadview Kennel in Aurora, and still has some pre-paid classes she can go to with her new family. Classes will help her adjust to being around other dogs and new situations in a non-threatening environment and strengthen the bond between Miley and her new person.
This girl does best around other dogs who are not overly excited or make her feel threatened, probably a result of her previous life. She and her canine foster sister have immense fun playing together. They like to play fetch, and Miley thinks it’s great fun to let her sister get the ball, and then take it from her. She loves playing with toys, especially her special snake squeaky toy. This toy never gets loved on too hard; Miley even tries to get her foster sister to play with it.

Miley should be with a family who has experience with dogs. The ideal environment for her would be a family where someone stays at home at least part of the day. Though three years old, she is still very much a puppy and will thrive with a family who can be patient as well as attentive. She is good in the car, but is better if she’s harnessed or in a crate, because she prefers the front seat. Despite being bullied and not allowed to get to food as a little pup, Miley does not guard her food and takes treats with a gentle mouth. Because she’s a little too interested in cats (or small things that move fast), a cat-less home with older children is recommended.

She’s a pretty girl with short, sleek fur of a golden yellow color, big floppy ears and big beautiful dark eyes rimmed with black. Her foster mom says that she shares some physical traits with hounds, possibly greyhound.

If you want a dog you can take along with you for lots of fun adventures, one who will sit by your side and savor the end of the day, who has endless potential to learn new tricks and commands, then Miley is ready to be your very best friend.

Ari is a sweet, sweet, adoring and very loving girl. She adores attention from her people and enjoys lots of pets and scratches. This beautiful girl has been through a lot, but she has settled in well and become a part of the family. Ari loves her food and her people, and especially laying in the sun on the deck outside. She enjoys walks and does well on her leash, although we are keeping them short for now. She needs to gain some weight and we are feeding her several times a day. 

She has a beautiful lab face, nose, and deep chocolate loving eyes. She likes to give kisses, but is not excessive about it. She gets in her crate and is kenneled at night, sleeping until she is let out in the morning. Although she is crate trained, there is no need to do so when the foster parents are not home.  She does not bark, is well behaved, and is a well mannered indoor girl. Ari knows "sit" and with some encouragement, she is mastering "come and down." We are working on other basic commands.

Ari does enjoy feeding time, like so many labs do. She does not have any food aggression issues with the resident dog. She thinks having to gain weight is the best activity in the world. She has just started to show interest in the doggie toys, as she feels more settled in her new world.  Sometimes I call her Ari-A as her affectionate nature will make me sing.  She is looking for her forever family to whom she will give her complete affection and love.

Hi, my name is Mink and I’m a whole lotta love bundled into a pint-sized package! I may not have much lab in me—my snout is pointier, my ears stand up like a border collie’s (my right ear higher than my left) and my fur is wiry like a terrier--but my pups were labs, so I came to RMLR with them and am now looking for my forever home.

My foster dad likes to call me “Dinky” because I’m so small, but good things come in all sizes! I love people and bond very quickly to them. When my foster dad gets home, I’m so excited to see him and have to give him little nibbles on his ankles to let him know I’m down here, hidden under my much bigger foster brothers. And when I hear the jingle of
his car keys I’m so happy, because I love to go for rides!

Sometimes I watch my foster brothers playing fetch in the back yard, but I don’t see much point in that game. I’d rather lay on the deck and bask in the sun, soaking up solar energy. I do, however, love a good snuggle or following my foster dad around to see what he is up to. My foster dad lets me sleep up in the bed (he says he can hardly tell I’m there). I don’t get in his way or snuggle too close; I just like to have one paw stretched out to touch him. But I learn very easily and can learn to sleep on a bed of my own, too.

I also have impeccable house manners. I am house-trained and do not counter surf and never tear up the place when my foster dad is away. I can use a doggy door, and even though the yard’s fence is low, I don’t try to jump it.

I am really smart and a quick learner. When I got to my foster dad’s, I didn’t know any commands. Already, I am learning “sit” and “wait.” I’m learning to stay down and not jump up so much on people. I do well with other dogs and get along with my canine foster brothers. I do very well on a leash—I’m not going to be your companion for a triathlon, but am good company for walks, maybe hikes/camping (we haven’t tried yet, but I like to stay close and not run off).

You should come meet me, because I am a super dog and I just cannot wait to be with my very best friends in my very own home.

Hi, my name is Rex.  I have lots of energy and love to go on walks.  Walks are just the most amazing thing.  There are all these people to charm into at least getting an ear scratch. Then there are the bunnies, squirrels and other dogs.  Whew, who knew!! I get very excited when my foster Mom gets the leash. 

If my foster Mom would allow it, I would just curl up in her lap on the couch or on the bed, but she has rules.  So, I just get as close as possible and get my ears scratched.  I’m hoping one of these days she won’t notice that I wiggled my whole body into her lap!

I ride well in the car and because my foster Mom takes me to fun places like the dog park, I’m always ready to hop in.

Hi this is Rex’s foster mom.  Rex is a very good boy and is just looking for someone patient and loving.  I think a good situation for Rex would be in a home with a routine, patience and lots of love.  Rex seems to do fine being the only dog, but he does love meeting new dogs at the dog park so having a buddy would be good too. 

Rex makes lots of friends wherever he goes, both two legged and four legged.  If he can get someone to scratch his ears he will sit there forever.     

I have left him a few times for short amounts of time (1/2 hour) to have the run of the house and he did fine.  I do crate him while at work. My guess is after he learned a routine this wouldn’t be necessary.  He is a bit vocal if he becomes anxious or excited.  We are learning quiet time and what it means to just be still.  I think a good solid routine will make this easy.  Rex doesn’t seem to know commands, although he does come when called at the dog park. 

Personality:

Ellie is a sweet, affectionate, bright and playful “puppy” (even though she is probably full grown). She loves to play with her “squeaky” toys, will chase and return a ball and is very curious. When playing fetch, she is learning to “drop it” as well as working on a couple simple commands (sit and stay). She loves to be with her people, wherever they are and whatever they are doing. If you are busy and unable to entertain her, she will play with her toys, and then lay close to where you are.

She rides well in a car and adjusts to new surroundings quickly. She is learning to walk on a leash, however would rather play fetch or with her toys. Ellie takes a bath well and has a very beautiful soft and shiny coat.

Ellie is crate trained and sleeps through the night. When morning arrives she waits patiently to be let out.

Cookie just arrived on the evening of 5/13/12, but has already shown us what a super sweet girl she is!  She will fit into ANY home as long as they have lots of love and attention to give her!  She does GREAT with the kids in her foster, the two dogs, and SO FAR, the cats don't seem to bother her at all either.  She seems to be used to living in a home, so has made a real easy transition in her move to Colorado.  Stay tuned as we learn more about Cookie!!
