DO YOU HAVE HYPO ALLERGENIC DOGS?
SHORT ANSWER:
NO as they are mixed breeds, we will not guarantee that
DO YOU KNOW THE EXACT SIZE?
Again as rescues with little or no back ground. No size is based on breed characteristics we see.
DO YOU KNOW THE PARENTS? and MY ADOPTED DOGS BDAY?
Sometimes we do if that info is given to the shelter and or we have the mother transferred to us, but we rarely if ever know the sire of the litter. So again, these are rescued dogs
CAN I VISIT A DOG OUTSIDE OF YOUR EVENT TIMES?
Unfortunately NO.
All RMPR puppies are currently in foster care so the only times to see them are at our events. Each dog is fostered, and our foster families all have lives and full-time jobs. If you have specific questions about our dogs, we ask that you please come to our event to speak with the pups foster, they will answer any and all specific questions. Please visit our events page to see the next day and time of our event. rmpuppyrescue.org
CAN I ADOPT THIS DOG ON A DIFFERENT DAY OR CAN YOU HOLD A DOG FOR ME?
We do not adopt in between events. PLEASE DO NOT ASK IF WE WILL.
We do not offer guarantees a dog will attend an event. We do not “ hold” dogs. SOME adult dogs will require a home visit prior to adoption.
DO I HAVE TO PAY AN ADOPTION FEE?
RMPR is a nonprofit organization and runs on its adoption fees. We do not rehome dogs for free or adopt for free, as then we cannot care for or go and get the animals to bring them here. We have many wonderful programs that benefit from the adoption fees and donations from individuals to view all that this group does for homeless animals, please visit our Colorado Gives Profile at: https://www.coloradogives.org/RockyMountainPuppyRescue/overview
