Heart of the Foothills Animal Rescue

We are a nonprofit and no kill rescue that works within our county to make it a no kill community. We take in dogs/puppies, cats/kittens and update their vetting including spay and neuters. We will fix the moms and dads of the litters we take so their won't be anymore accidental litters. We do not use vouchers, all of our animals are spayed and neutered before they are adopted out.

Meet Teddy (Courtesy Post)

This is a courtesy post. Please do not contact Heart of the Foothills Animal Rescue. Contact information is provided in the description below.Teddy is a Lab/Husky/Pit mix. He is about a year old and about 64 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. Teddy has been looked after by a kind person after neighbors saw him get dumped out of a vehicle. Unfortunately, this person's pets do not get along with him, so he needs a new home.Teddy loves to go walking, play with his toys, and go on hikes. His favorite treats are jerky sticks and peanut butter. He also loves rolling around in the leaves and playing fetch with his ball. He is initially fearful with other dogs, but has improved and seems to have done very well with recent interactions. He may be timid/shy at first but has not barked or showed reactive behaviors after some recent socialization. Teddy does have anxiety at times, but mostly just starts panting and gets nervous. He has some puppy behavioral issues that need some work (like jumping and pulling), but has already improved in the time that the owner has had him. He knows commands like “sit”, “stay”, “place”, “down” and “leave it”. He is kennel/crate trained. He has not stayed in the house unless he is in a kennel, so not sure if he is house trained yet. The owner will donate all the food, toys, supplies, etc., as well as provide all of his vet documentation. If you are interested in Teddy, please contact Autumn at [email protected] or [email protected]

Adoption Process
An application is required and once it is processed and approved we will set up a time for the adopter to meet the pet, if the pet is finished with their vetting then we can finalize adoption or put the pet on hold and let the adopter know when the pet is ready. When we finalize adoption, the adopter will need to sign an adoption contract and a health disclaimer. We do ask that if the adopter decides that it is not working out that they bring the dog back to us so we can make sure the animal will go into a good home.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
