Please do not contact EAPL  about courtesy listings. The pet owner/rescue/shelter and new owner shall make all arrangements on transferring the pet, including information on history, vaccines, etc.  Please contact me at Chris 303-570-1481 [email protected] Lexi is a Mini Australian Shepherd that has been rescued from a home that neglected her by isolating her and they didn’t take the time to train her properly. She is high energy and has a high prey drive so she shouldn’t be in a home with cats and preferably where she is the only dog. I am training her. She is housebroken but needs room to run. She is ok with other dogs once she gets to know them. She needs lots of socialization. Lexi is a loving dog with unlimited potential if she goes to the right household. She needs a home with someone who is active, and preferably a home that has a yard. She knows her name very well and will come when called. She likes to chase cars, so that has to be dealt with. Lexi is getting better but needs some more work. Lexi needs love and attention. With the right environment, she will be a fantastic dog for years to come. She shows signs of being hit and screamed at, but with hard work and a lot of love, she is coming around nicely. I adopted her and would keep her, but I have cats. I don’t want her to go back into any shelter as I feel it would set her recovery back. So I have decided to rehome her and continue working with her until I find her the best possible home where she will be loved and can thrive.

Adoption Process
THE FIRST STEP to adopting an EAPL animal is to fill out a DOG ADOPTION APPLICATION. EAPL is a foster-based rescue. We do not have a shelter facility where applicants can come look at multiple animals at one time. All of our animals are in foster homes that range from Denver, to Evergreen, to Northeast Colorado - where they are loved and cared for until they are placed in a forever home. The adoption process begins when you complete an online Adoption Application, naming either one or a few of our Available Animals or providing a description of the type of animal you hope to adopt. Completing an application does not restrict you to a specific animal, nor does it obligate you to adopt. Once we have received your application and determined that you are a good match for the requested animal, we will contact you. The foster parent will then contact you to arrange a time for you to meet the animal, at which time you can decide if you would like to complete the adoption. You may be asked to visit the animal more than once before taking it home. After your initial meeting with the animal, one of our volunteers will conduct a home visit. This may occur before you take the animal home or when the animal is delivered to you. Once the adoption is approved, you will need to complete our Preliminary Adoption Agreement and pay the adoption fee. We will keep in contact over the next few days to make sure everyone is happy. If so, we will mail out an official Adoption Contract for you to sign and mail back. At that point, your adoption fee will be deposited. IF AT ANY TIME AFTER ADOPTION, YOU DECIDE YOU CAN NOT KEEP THE PET FOR ANY REASON, THE ANIMAL MUST BE RETURNED TO EAPL. Our animals are our clients. Our job is to find each of out animals the right home. Rejected applications are not necessarily a reflection on the applicant’s home, but rather based on the determination that the home is not the right match. Before adopting, keep in mind that many of our animals have never lived inside a home. Some dogs may never have been walked on a leash, socialized, house trained or spent time with other animals. All, even those who previously have been in loving homes, will need patience and understanding as they learn to adapt to a new life and family. Rescued animals need adopters who will not give up on them if they have accidents in the house, pull on the leash, dig in the yard or act nervous or frightened. Because of the work done in our foster homes and the care we take in matching animals with the right home, most of our animals will fit in their new homes immediately. But some will not. Many will need some form of training. An adoption will be successful only if the adopter is committed to seeing the animal through the adjustment period. The rewards are the unconditional love and loyalty of a wonderful companion and the satisfaction of knowing you have given a rescued animal a better life. EAPL wants to support you with resources, education, and encouragement for the lifetime of your pet. Please contact us at any time following adoption for assistance. Adult dogs $125 (1yr and older) - includes Distemper/Parvo vaccine and Spay/Neuter. Puppies $200 (under 1yr) - includes age appropriate Distemper/Parvo vaccines and Spay/Neuter at our assigned vet. Spay/Neuter deposit of $50 is required if not altered at time of adoption due to age. Adult cats $75 - includes vaccines (does not include Rabies) and Spay/Neuter. Kittens $75 - includes first vaccines (does not include Rabies). Spay/Neuter deposit required if not altered. Spay/Neuter Deposit $50 - Per Department of Agriculture's requirement, EAPL will collect a $50 deposit for any animal unaltered at time of adoption due to age. The $50 deposit will be refunded once adopter has shown sufficient proof of alter. Then you will be on your way to your new life with your new family member!
