From Han Solo's foster mom Pam...

"If you need  big Sheltie-ish ears in your life, Han Solo is your guy!  This is the total lovebug of the trio.  He would like nothing better than to be in your arms all day long.  Be ready when you pick him up, because he flips belly up on you and will nestle into the crook of your arm for all day belly rubs.  Sounds just like the original Han Solo."

This is one of the tiny, malnourished and dehydrated Sheltie mix puppies that were found abandoned in a field in Golden, Colorado.  They were lucky enough to be brought to Foothills Animal Shelter and stabilized there for their stray period.  Foothills is one of our rescue partners and they requested we take over to give the pups additional time to gain weight and strength before they would be placed for adoption.  We were pleased to help.

Han is an 8-week-old puppy of unknown parentage.  If you squint, you could see Sheltie or some other herding breed.  So, we will start there.  We will be given all the necessary vaccinations and pre-anesthetic bloodwork before his neuter, all of which will be paid for by Rocky Mountain Collie and Sheltie Rescue.

Application first please.  No completed application, no conversation.

Please begin the process for adoption by reading our Adoption Policies and, if we sound like the right group for you, fill out our online Adoption Application. From there, our receipt of your completed application will be confirmed by email. You then will receive a follow-up phone call if we feel you are a good potential applicant for the dog. Lots of good conversation with the foster family, a reference from your veterinarian, and a home visit round out the screening process. We take dog adoption very seriously.  Please put a lot of thought into why you want to adopt a dog, and help us make a good match for your family. We appreciate your taking the time to visit with us. We will look forward to hearing from you as well.
