Summit Dog Rescue - Boulder, Colorado We're a volunteer-run rescue based in Boulder, CO with volunteers throughout the Front Range. To fos Summit Dog Rescue - For Dogs with Altitude!
(87)

Welcome to our Colorado-based dog rescue. Our mission is to save dogs in Colorado and neighboring states from overcrowded shelters. We focus on "mountain dogs"--dogs who thrive at elevation and are as comfortable hiking above treeline as playing in a creek. Dogs with altitude! If you'd like to foster or adopt, go to http://www.summitdogrescue.org to begin the application process--and check out our

adoptable dogs on the website also! Our application process takes more time than most rescues and there is no guarantee of a placement - if you're in a hurry or aren't up for the thorough screening process we undertake we fully encourage you to check your local shelter. Shelter dogs need homes more than anyone!

Chicken Noodle left the shelter today!

He is starting his decompression journey with his amazing, devoted foster mom and learning he is safe.

Sweet, timid, exhausted and probably confused… this sweet guy is on his way to recovery from whatever happened to him.

Huge thank you to Kindness Ranch for committing to him.
And thank you to all the magnificent SDR followers who shared him and offered to help!

Check out his video in comments!

We love Blanca! has this sweet and sensitive Great Pyrenees girl and approx 6 months and 43 lbs. Blanca loves to swim, romp with her dog pals, rest with her kitty friends, chew on a good antler, go for walks and, most importantly, be with her humans. Blanca will thrive in a calm home where she has structure and a daily routine to follow. Blanca is eager to please and a fun puppy to train! Please share Blanca with your Great Pyrenees loving friends and, if interested in meeting her in her Berthoud foster home, apply to adopt at mountainpetrescue.org

How is Bear still available? This dog is an amazing dog!!

Bear is the perfect age, and has some really good skills under his belt! He’s healthy and loving and ready for adventure .

He will need a loving human and regular mental/physical activity… but he’s a fantastic dog. If he was good with cats, our Director literally said she would adopt him.

Please share his post with any fun loving, amazing Aussie homes you know.

UPDATE!!! CHICKEN NOODLE IS GOING TO BE RESCUED BY KINDNESS RANCH!!! We are helping to coordinate the transfer, since they are out of state - but Chicken Noodle will be leaving the shelter in the next 24 hours and heading to Kindness Ranch Animal Sanctuary, where he will most likely be up for adoption!!

We love networking with all the amazing rescues out there and thank you to all of you who emailed on his behalf, and offered to take him in. Yay Chicken Noodle!!

_______________________________________________________________________Are there any serious Beagle lovers out there? Chicken Noodle is in need of a patient, loving adopter. We got an email from a local Front Range shelter about him. He was found as a stray and is very scared and fearful at the shelter.

He is estimated to be 9 years old, and need dental work. If you are a Beagle lover or know any Beagle lovers, please let them know about Chicken Noodle.

We have limited info on him, but feel free to email us and we can chat more. [email protected]

Our planet just got a little more 💕 last night!

Welcome to the world, little baby kitten!!

Meet the newest SDR kitten! This jet black baby was welcomed last night by her amazing mama (Lupine) and her foster family. Kitten quickly started nursing and snuggled right up with her mama.

This morning mama and kitten are getting some well deserved rest and bonding time.

Kitten doesn’t have a name yet, and we are unsure of if it’s a male or female. Stay tuned!!

9 Catahoula puppies coming soon (as courtesy post pups!).

A friend of ours at SDR has a neighbor who ended up with an accidental litter (long story). The owner of the pregnant mom moved back to Texas and left her, and didn’t come back. So the neighbor has taken on the responsibility of legal ownership, raising the puppies and now the process of finding 9 excellent homes.

These are purebred Catahoula puppies. They are 7 weeks old and will be ready to go to their forever homes starting 8/25.

They have been very well socialized during their neonatal period… and mom was well cared for during pregnancy.

They live with kids, dogs, horses and are inside a home.

We are looking for Catahoula savvy adopters who are active and committed to loving them and meeting their needs (mentally and physically).

Please email us if you’re interested.

We are on baby watch over here! 🥰

This little lady was surrendered over the weekend, and is due any day!

Her amazing foster family is deciding on a name for her, while helping her settle in and preparing for the big day.

Xrays showed she is carrying only one kitten!

Stay tuned as we await the arrival of our newest SDR kitten!

(We rarely have such exciting events because we are strong advocates of spay neuter)

Meet the extraordinary Daisy! (Courtesy post)

This gorgeous girl is just 8 months young, weighing in at 60+ lbs of pure puppy joy with plenty more growing to do!

Daisy is the total package - beautiful, brilliant, and brimming with joy and eagerness to learn.

She's a serious treat motivation training rockstar who already knows sit, down, no, and her name. This smart cookie is doggie door trained and will politely alert you when she needs to go out.

Daisy's quest for knowledge continues as she's picking up leash manners like a pro!

But don't let her impressive skills fool you - Daisy's favorite pastime is entertaining herself by launching toys in the air ! When not playing, you'll find this velvety bundle of snuggles glued to your side, angling for tummy rubs and ear scratches.

Daisy can't wait to meet her new active, adventurous people to call her own. She's ready to be adopted into your life, lavishing you with cuddles and kisses as your ultimate outdoor romping companion.

All Daisy needs is a fenced yard, some dog pals to play with, and your smitten family to dote on her!

If Daisy sounds like your type of girl please apply at

Foster found!!! Thanks everyone!

We just got asked to take in a pregnant mama cat.

She’s due next week, and X-rays revealed she only has one kitten!

Her owner is moving and can’t take her with her.

On the Denver news last night. This is real. We see it every single day in our inbox.

We’ve been doing rescue for over 20 years and it’s gotten worse, not better . Dogs are more disposable than ever, in our Amazon culture.

Something has to change.

Dogs that once were adopted within days are now waiting weeks or months and some never make it out. While many shelters have "no-kill" policies, those polici...

Lillah is a beautiful 4 year old poodle in Denver in need of a foster or adopter.

She’s friendly, loves to play with dogs, and enjoys respectful children over age 8.

She’s housetrained and a lovely addition to anyone’s home. Her owner had a stroke and is in the hospital, and can no longer care for her. Lilah is currently being kept in the basement of a friend’s house, due to their allergies.
She does have bladder stones, which her owner was trying to address.

To learn more go to our website. And if you can adopt her, send us an email and we will connect you with the friends of the owner.

Courtesy post. Wonderful, loving social dogs! 🐾❤️ please share Tala and Gypsy.

Tala and Gypsy's owner passed away suddenly two days ago. Tala is a 6 year old Siberian husky and Gypsy is a 4 year old husky mix.

They are both spayed and vetted.

Their beloved human worked all over the country and brought them with him everywhere he went.

These dogs have experienced more adventure than most humans. Their ideal home would be together with someone that has a big yard and wants hiking companions/adventure buddies.

Please share!

These sweet dogs love to snuggle! They're good with people, kids, and other friendly dogs.

Unsure about cats. If you have anymore questions please message Serenity can be reached at 303-870-6869.

Thank you!!!

Geo and Gato are adopted!!

These kitties tragically lost their mom to cancer this Spring.

SDR stepped in to take them, as their human didn’t think anyone would want them and had scheduled their euthanasia. Luckily that amazing veterinarian reached out to us and arranged them to be official SDR kitties!

Their human passed peacefully, knowing they were safe… And now, they are living their best lives as feline retirees on the 22nd floor of a fabulous apartment in Denver.

Talk about windows with a view!

They are completely loved by their compassionate, devoted adopter.

And they will live happily ever after !

Congratulations Wonton!!!

Adoption pending!

His amazing, devoted foster mom is adopting him! ❤️

Shadow the Frenchie mix is still looking for his forever home!
He’s currently in a shelter in Arkansas, but transport is available for the right home .

“ Doggy day out!! 🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️

Shadow had an awesome morning walking downtown for a pup cup and meeting new friends. He did great in the car and is learning leash manners quickly. Shadow is such a great dog with so many great qualities. He is sure to keep you entertained and loves everyone he meets.

Don’t worry buddy, you’re almost home.”

They are eight weeks old, and just settling in and getting their bearings.

They are very sweet and brave little kittens!!

We will be taking applications for them starting next week.

Safe!! The incredible folks at Angels With Paws took him in today. They have a special ringworm room with other ringworm kittens, and a fast efficient ringworm protocol.
Thank you all who offered to help, and shared this muffin! ❤️🐾

Can anyone foster this adorable little kitten? He has ringworm,  which is not a worm at all, but just a fungus. We would provide treatment.
Urgent!
Otherwise he’s off to the overcrowded shelter. 💔

“What’s better than one awesome little dog….how about TWO awesome little best friends? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just look at these adorable little faces!!!!! These two are some of the HAPPIEST dogs!
Dauntay - 1 yr, 2 month old small breed male dog (maybe Chihuahua/Corgi mix). He is super friendly, energetic and loves to play with his squeaky toys. He has the most adorable ears with one up and one down. Also, gotta love the low-rider doggies!!!
Devonshire - 3 year old female Chihuahua mix. She loves to play with her toys and her buddy, Dauntay. She is truly a lap dog and loves to hop in your arms for love and kisses but then will jump down and romp with her best friend. She’s a total snuggle buddy!!
Foster mom just loves them so much and really am enjoying having them here but they really need their forever home. They are so easy because they play together all the time and occupy each other.
Both of them are dog friendly, potty trained, sleep through the night, share their food with each other, are treat motivated, walk well on a leash and are just such little love bugs!!!!!
So gentle and affectionate.
They are a bonded pair and really want to be adopted out together.
If you are interested in Dauntay and Devonshire, please fill out an application at Soul Dog Rescue. Soul Dog Rescue & Humane Society Thrift Store

We're on day two of a heat wave here at summit dog rescue and headquarters, and we're leaning heavily on indoor enrichment activities to keep our dogs happy and healthy!

In Season 2, we spoke with about enrichment for dogs: what it is, why it's important, and how to get started with enrichment for our dogs! These are our key takeaways from that conversation.

Comment below for a link to the full episode! It's packed with great information.

Wonton’s foster mom traveled home for a family reunion this past week. We were all a little worried how he would do.

Luckily we found an amazing petsitter, Dawn Taylor, who stayed with him and loved him the entire time! He did great!

He is one lucky guy, and everyone who meets him falls in love!

Thank you Dawn for taking such great care of our boy!

If you need a petsitter, we will post dawns website below!

Summit Dog Rescue - Changing the World, One Dog At A Time.

Based in Boulder, Colorado, our mission is to save dogs from kill shelters. We tend to focus on "mountain dogs" – dogs who thrive at elevation and are as comfortable hiking above treeline as playing in a creek. Dogs With Altitude!

Summit Dog Rescue, Boulder, Colorado, is a 501c3 rescue dedicated to a mindful, holistic, thorough approach to rescuing great dogs (and an occasional kitty) and adopting them into exceptional fur-ever homes. We are all volunteer run, and donation based.

Our goal is not to do high volume dog adoptions, but rather to rescue great dogs and find them incredibly well matched, loving, committed forever homes - with a huge focus on education.

We focus on our dogs and adopters learning basic life skills, using only force free/ positive-reinforcement training.
