Story time! Spoiler alert - it has a happy ending. 💙

Back in December, reached out with a very sweet 2 month old puppy in need of life saving medical treatment. Little Levi was diagnosed with a heart murmur, and the decision was made to do everything we could to help him survive. Funds were raised, and Levi was on his way to within a few days.

Levi seriously scored when his foster, CSU vet medicine alum, and friend of the AAC, took him in while he was undergoing treatment and recovery. His foster sister, Rue, took him under her wing and showed him all the best parts of life in Fort Collins. 🐾

After his successful heart murmur treatment, Levi got yet another lucky break. A friend of his foster mom, also a CSU vet alum, met him while visiting town over Christmas and fell in love. These two were meant to be, and a few weeks later, he hopped on a plane with a veterinary faculty to embark on the final leg of this journey: settling in at his forever home in Seward, AK.

Levi’s story is incredibly special. SO many people and organizations had a hand in saving this dog’s life, from WY to CO to AK. In just a few short months of life, Levi has known so much love and dedication from the people working to save him. Many of these people are vets themselves, including the next generation of veterinarian residents that got to learn while fixing his heart.

Our biggest thank you of all goes to the Nightingale Fund, which allowed us to say yes to Levi to begin with. Now, he gets to live the best happy, healthy life on the coasts and trails in Alaska. 💙

Look at all those cute faces! The dogs in this album are currently in our program and available for adoption.

The first step in our adoption process is filling out a dog adoption application. Once submitted your application can be added to any dogs list of interested adopters. If you are the first qualified applicant in line you will be given the opportunity to meet the dog and take them home for a foster period, usually around four nights but our minimum is one! This gives you a chance to get to know the dog and decide if you want to adopt. If its not a good fit you can bring the dog back to us and we will move on in the list. Returning your foster dog doesn't disqualify you from meeting and fostering another dog! Our mission is to find these dogs the best home for them and sometimes that means staying with a few families before it's the right fit.

If one of the dogs in this album interests you please submit an application or email us - [email protected] - to let us know you already have an application submitted and would like your name on a particular dog's list.
You do not need to submit multiple applications, once your application is in it can be used for any dog you are interested in.

We can't wait to help you find a new best friend!

Archie:
5 years old, Male, Lab mix

Sweet Archie was adopted from us as a puppy in 2019, but his owner is moving out of state and unable to take him with. Archie is timid around humans and dislikes loud noises/ sudden movements, so he will likely do best in a home without any children around. He is quick to warm up to other dogs. We can't wait to help him find a calm and quiet home!

Ruth:
Female, Mixed Breed, 3 Years Old

Meet Ruth! Ruth joined our program via Dog Is My Copilot from Texas. Ruth was rescued from a dog hoarding situation and is still decompressing after some huge changes in her life! Ruth is timid at first but will slowly learn to trust her people - a process that will require patience and understanding. This lil girl has been through a lot! Because of her background, Ruth will do best in a home with women or a single female owner.

Rocko:
Heeler Mix, Male, 4 Years Old

Welcome Rocko! This sweet boy joined our program after being rescued by the Sublette County Sheriff's office from a dog hoarding situation. Rocko spent several weeks hanging out at the sheriff's office (getting to sneak out for the occasional ride along of course!) but ultimately, is ready to find his forever home, even though he loved being an honorary sheriff. This is how Rocko ended up with us at the AAC. We have been blown away by Rocko's sweet and affectionate nature. Despite all he's been through, he adores people and animals of all kinds and would love to join almost any kind of household. We can't wait to find Rocko a home with all the love he deserves!

Oh Bella! 💐🐾 Another familiar face for many of you.

Bella’s journey through our program has not come to its happy forever ending just yet. After over a year of being up for adoption, Bella was adopted in the fall of 2024. Her owner had to leave the state after losing both job and housing and was unable to take Bella with, so she was surrendered back to the AAC.

The good news is that Bella has a safe and soft place to land back in our program with her previous long term fosters. We will always take animals back when an adoption doesn’t work out. Bella is happy, wiggly, and playful as ever and is starting fresh on her search for a new home. Call or email if you think that could be you. 💐🐾

Bella:
3 Years old, Female, Mixed breed (medium)

Meet Bella! Many of you have been following along with Bella's journey through our program, which unfortunately has not come to its happy forever ending just yet. After over a year of being up for adoption, Bella was adopted in the fall of 2024, but her owner had to leave the state after losing his job and housing and was not able to bring Bella with. Fortunately, Bella had a soft and safe place to land back in our program with her previous long term fosters, and is now ready to start fresh on her continued adoption journey. She is as happy, wiggly, and playful as ever and would make a fantastic adventure buddy. Bella loves exercise of all kinds and is a pro at running alongside a bike! We can't wait to help her find her forever home.

Hi friends and community near and far! We know you’ve seen this smiling face across our platforms before.

Cherry is going on her 4th year in our program, and 3rd year with her incredible long term fosters. The time has come for her to find a new foster - or better yet forever - home. If she has ever tugged at your hearstrings or caught your eye (she is an internet celebrity after all!), she needs you to come forward for her.

Now at the age of 7, Cherry is looking for a place where she can cuddle, play, enjoy a belly rub, and be the only animal in her home. If you or anyone you know can provide this for her, even temporarily, please reach out. Our team would love to talk to you.

Even if you aren’t Cherry’s soft landing, sharing this post and getting it in front of someone who could be means a great deal to us and her.

❤️🍒🐶

Cheers 2024! There is so much to celebrate this year, including 294 adoptions and 1,881 animals spayed and neutered through our program. 🐶🐱

As the year comes to a close, we wanted to share some of our recent adoptions, including a very special one for our entire team - Tiki! Tiki has been waiting ever so patiently for her forever home with her foster since she joined our program in July. Tiki (now Wywy) got to spend her first holidays with her new family in Colorado this year and we are so happy for her.

Thank you for adopting and loving your rescue pets this year. 2025, bring it on! ✨🐾

Herding dog in search of something to herd 🔍

Meet Sadie. This cowgirl has spent most of her young life living behind a casino dumpster. This is where some very kind casino employees found her and began taking care of her. Since they weren’t in the market for a dog, Sadie was surrendered to the AAC.

Though we’ve only known her for two weeks, we learn more and more about her personality every day. She’s come from terrified and shut down to the #1 fan of our staff members. This girl is AFFECTIONATE. Probably due to the lil white heart of her forehead! 🤍 As she comes out of her shell, one other thing has become very clear: Sadie is a herding dog.

Things she likes:
🦴chasing toys
🦴flipping over for belly rubs
🦴people food, specifically bread (dumpster, duh)
🦴being near her people in a distraction-free environment

Things she needs:
🐾 someone who is familiar and comfortable with herding/ cattle dog breeds
🐾 a kid-free household
🐾 slow & controlled intros to other dogs
🐾 daily exercise & enrichment activities
🐾 continued confinement training skills that we have been building with her

We have been working hard to find Sadie a foster home for the holidays. If you think that you can give her a good foster or forever home, please give us a call!
