Talk about puppy dog eyes (and head tilts 🥺)… Scully will have you wrapped around her little paw in minutes 😍

Scully is a curious, adorable puppy that warms up quickly to her people.
She loves to explore the house, cupboards, backyard, you name it! Shes just a baby girl figuring out this big new world 🌏

After a day of exploration, and playing with the family dog, this tired girl curls right up next to you and take a nap. 😴

She understands to potty outside and is working on crate training. She is quick to understand corrections & wants to learn.
Scully is sweet as pie!🩷

Her mom was a pregnant stray on the street and brought to a shelter. MHLRM pulled her from the shelter along with her 2 siblings, from the shelter EU list. They have been in a foster home since getting lots of love & socialization. Socialize, socialize!

If you are already an approved adopter and want to meet or adopt Scully, please contact your adoption coordinator. Or you can fill out an application at mhlrm.com

Finn is a “real sweetie” says foster Mama and a stunning king 👑!

This BIG boy is so friendly and loves being around his people! So much so, he would do great as an only dog. He is an active, playful & vocal! 😂When he’s having a good time, you know it!

Finn plays well with his foster mom’s pups, but… he has had a few tussles with other dogs. 🫣 To ensure Finn is ready to be the best he can be, he is working with a trainer to help with doggies intros & make sure this king feels confident with other pups 🐶

Finn is an intelligent boy who has quickly learning basic commands & will sit for a treat 🍖He learned how to use the doggy door within the first hour of arriving at his foster home. He does not mind the kennel or the car 🚗

He enjoys going out for walks 🦮 and is not afraid of the leash. He does pull when excited or sees other pups, but is corrected easily. Finn’s trainer is working with Finn on leash etiquette.

Being a playful, active Lab, Finn will do best in a home with an active lifestyle. He definitely understands when it is time to chill out and enjoys snoozing in a dog bed. He is not a destructive boy & is very food motivated 🦴

Finn is heartworm positive, but treatment is very successful and completely manageable with all the proper education. MHLRM will cover the expense of treatment at one of our approved veterinarians. Heartworm positive dogs go on to live happy, normal lives after treatment and rarely experience long-term side effects. Don’t let this stop you from adopting!

You’ll love Finn he is such a sweet & lovable BIG boy! He will need a person who is committed to work with him & his trainer & who will understand that not every dog may be Finn’s friend 🤷🏼‍♀️ We’re committed to Finn & you!

If you are already an approved adopter and want to meet or adopt Finn, please contact your adoption coordinator. Or you can fill out an application at mhlrm.com

https://www.mhlrm.com/donate

04/12/2024

We are SOO close to reaching our goal of $5,000!

Did you know one of our largest annual expenses is treatment for heartworm positive dogs? 💰

Every year, more than 100,000 dogs in the United States test positive for heartworm. 🪱 Despite being a treatable disease, many shelters euthanize heartworm positive dogs because the expense of treatment is so high.

🐾 So far in 2024, has rescued 51 heartworm positive dogs, nearly 10% of our total intake.

Even with a significant rescue discount from our amazing vet partner, treatment still averages $700 per dog… that’s almost $35k this year! 😳

Donations makes it possible for us to save and treat heartworm positive dogs so they can go on to live the great life they deserve.

Let’s wrap up this day of giving with one final donation in honor of our heartworm positive pups 🐶

Freya is an old calm lady who has lead a rough life.. BUT her spirit and sweetness has not been dampened a bit!! “Go with the flow” is her motto 🖤

Tail constantly wagging as she keeps an eye on foster Dads every movement. He’s not getting away from this girl!

She moves slowly & has some arthritis (she sounds like a lot of us 🙋🏻‍♂️) but she is a happy loving girl who loves a leisurely walk on her leash 🐕‍🦺

Freya was turned into a shelter with MHLM pup (Monty) by a “stranger”🙄
The “stranger” said Freya was raised with family & kids. She does love all!

Freya snores like a demon, foster Dad has resorted to wearing ear plugs at night. 🫣 And she loves to nap, everywhere… 😴

She free roams her foster home & foster Dad has relaxed his rules about dogs in the kitchen. She has him wrapped around her paws 🐾

She is very well mannered & just wants to be touched as much as possible. “She loves to push her head into mine and just feel my face and hands loving her up” says foster Daf

We love this girl and hope we can find a forever family to make her final years beautiful ❤️

Gigi is the happiest mama dog there ever was. She LOVES all people and dogs!! 🐶

She has the best labby personality and sweetest disposition. If you are looking for the fun puppy personality without puppy behaviors then Gigi is your girl!!!

Sweet Gigi and her 3 puppies were saved from being EU’d in a high-kill New Mexico shelter. The shelter was out of kennels and they were next on the list. Thankfully MHLRM secured a safe place for them to stay and she’s now made her way to Colorado for her next adventure! ♥️

🐕‍🦺 Gigi LOVES other dogs!! She has lived in a home with a pitbull mix and let her snuggle on her puppies without any issues. She loves playing with her foster siblings since arriving to CO and will happily share toys with them. She’d love a forever home with another dog but is cool being a solo dog too!

👧🏼 Loving, gentle, and sweet. Gigi has a heart of gold and loves all people, including kids.

Gigi has been doing great with training!! She knows her name, is house broken, knows sit, shake, and mostly there with come when called. She is well-mannered, treat motivated, and eager to please so is very easy to train! She does not mind the crate and knows to only chew on dog toys. 🧸

Gigi loves going on walks and walks relatively well on a leash with a front clip harness but will pull if she sees a 🐇 or a 🐿️!!

She loves to play, go for walks, chase a 🎾, and is always ready for an adventure but will happily snuggle up for a nap once she gets her wiggles out.

If you are already an approved adopter and want to meet or adopt Gigi, please contact your adoption coordinator. Or you can fill out an application at mhlrm.com

Who is looking for some puppy breath in their life? 🙋🏼‍♀️ puppy breath, puppy snores and good old puppy snuggles! Meet our boy Falls 🖤

Falls is a very good boy, says foster mama. “He plays very well with my 7 year old lab and wants to be close to the action, when he isn’t napping” 😴

He is happy to play by himself as long as he has a fun toy 🧸 Falls chows down when it’s breakfast & dinner time, which is good, as he needs to gain weight 🍽️

Falls is just a baby and needs lots of support & training as he grows. He is doing great with the crate and potty training 🎉. All puppies need love and gentle discipline, lots to learn!

Falls along with his mom & 6 siblings were rescued by a wonderful person who took great care of mom & babies. They are now 8 weeks old and ready for adoption! The finder loved mama so much he decided to keep her ❤️

As a young puppy, Falls will need an adopter committed to providing regular exercise, socialization and training. He currently has typical puppy energy. Plays hard, sleeps hard!

If you’re looking for a puppy with a great disposition, check out Falls! Especially if you have a 🐶 🐱 👧🏼!!

If you are already an approved adopter and want to meet or adopt Falls, please contact your adoption coordinator. Or you can fill out an application at mhlrm.com

Kano is described as a true sweetheart 🥰 He’s gone from trembling in his kennel to thriving in a foster home, and he’s now living his best life 🙌🏼

He’s great with other dogs, walks like a dream on a leash, is super cuddly and is crate-trained 🌟 He loves spending all his time laying right next to you. But his favorite thing in the world? Belly rubs! 😍

This gorgeous boy is definitely a mixed breed, and his foster parents think he might be a golden retriever mix with his soft, golden coat, loving personality, and fluffy tail! 💛

🐾 Kano has lived in a foster home with several other dogs. He is playful and respectful with them. He is also good with cats! He is fostered with a cat and has been respectful to the kitty 🐱 He even met some tiny kittens and was gentle with them.

👧🏼 Kano loves all people including kids! He is a very gentle boy and would likely be good with kids of all ages.

🧠 Kano is learning more every day in his foster home. He understands the rules and boundaries given like a good boy. He is house trained and kennel trained 👍🏼 and walks nicely on leash. He enjoys going for walks! He hasn’t shown any reactivity to other dogs on the leash so far.

As a young Lab mix, Kano can be energetic and playful. He’ll do best in a home that provides regular exercise and socialization. Although he is happy to nap in his crate when you leave or need a break from play time. Perfection! 💯

Kano is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative!

If you are already an approved adopter and want to meet or adopt Kano, please contact your adoption coordinator. Or you can fill out an application at mhlrm.com

Nike (Greek goddess of victory) What a victory it will be when the this sweet girl finds her forever family 🤎 She is sooooo good!

Nike is as sweet as they come! This happy & fun-loving girl, enjoys meeting new people and other dogs, every chance she gets 🐶

Unfortunately, Nike was surrendered to MHLM due to her owners life changes. She is used to living in a home with a family and has adjusted to her foster home so quickly. However, she needs to find her forever home & family 🏡

Nike would be great for a family with children and other pups as she’s loved with both her entire life. She is so friendly and gentle with the littles 👧🏼🧒🏽👦🏼

🧠 Smart! She knows her basic commands, house broken and does not mind the crate, although she is not destructive when left alone.

Nike loves exploring and does well on leash. She may pull a bit when excited but overall is easy and enjoys going out for walks 🦮 If you have a leash, this girl is ready to go!

Nike has that goofy, fun-loving Lab personality we all know and love. 🥰 She will do best in a home that can continue her training and provide her regular exercise.

If you are already an approved adopter and want to meet or adopt Nike, please contact your adoption coordinator. Or you can fill out an application at mhlrm.com

Noodle is an energetic ball of joy! She loves toys & ear scratches. She’s a very curious 2yr old. Always likes to see what you’re doing, where you are & if she can be a part of it. Perfect traits for a little buddy! 👯

When allowed, she politely touches noses with dogs to say hello, when walking with her harness. 🐕‍🦺 She loves to make friends with everyone!

Off-leash, she gets the zoomies and she’s fast! 🌪️ She’s so happy about life, people, dogs, leaves, you name it!

Noodle was adopted as a puppy from a shelter, then found as a stray later. Her owners didn’t claim her so she was released to MHLM, their loss is someone else’s gain ⭐️

She is very eager to meet other dogs. She would do well to have a playmate, so if your dog needs a dog, pick Noodle! 🐶🐶

Noodle can be an “enthusiastic greeter” so school age kids would probably be best until she’s learned the “4 on the floor” rule. Just like all dogs, consistent training is needed📚

Noodle is mostly potty trained and working on learning how to greet people from the ground and not in their faces. 🙄 She is bright and very food motivated, getting the hang of things quickly 🧠 She enters a crate with little encouragement and sleeps well there all night.

She loves to play and is happy taking long exploration walks on the trail. She likes playing in the creek on the trail too, bring on the water 💦

If you are already an approved adopter and want to meet or adopt Noodle, please contact your adoption coordinator. Or you can fill out an application at mhlrm.com

It’s a bird... it’s a plane... it’s Superman 🦸🏻‍♂️ or Manny for short! 😏

Manny is such a handsome, happy boy. He is energetic and loves to play, especially fetch! 🎾

He’s VERY excited to be out of the shelter and settling in with a foster. Right now, Manny has one speed and it is go, go, GO 🌪️ But we know he will settle down with more time. He will do best with an adopter who is eager to train and help him continue to learn house rules and boundaries! 👍🏼

Manny is a super smart pup. He is 100% house trained, goes into his crate without contest, and sleeps on a dog bed at night 👏🏼 He was a little intimidated by the stairs in his foster home, but he successfully conquered after a few days showing just how smart and eager to please he is! 🥰

He is Mr. Independent and likes to carry his leash in his mouth 😂 He’s gone on several walks and loves to explore! His neck is healing from an embedded collar, so we recommend a gentle lead with strong harness for now 🐕‍🦺

Manny is super friendly with people 😃 He happily greets everyone he meets on walks! He has not been around many children, but he’s a big lover and will most likely enjoy being a family dog.

🐾 He’s a large energetic guy which can be a bit much for some other dogs. We recommend slower intros with dogs as Manny learns his manners. After some sniffs, he calms down and is ready for play time! 🐶 He’s really enjoying living with another dog in his foster home.

Manny has so much potential to be an amazing dog 🤩 He will thrive in a home with love, consistency and training. Don’t miss out on being his person!

If you are already an approved adopter and want to meet or adopt Manny, please contact your adoption coordinator. Or you can fill out an application at mhlrm.com
