summit dog rescue

Summit Dog Rescue is an all breed rescue dedicated to a mindful, hands-on, thorough approach to rescuing great dogs and adopting them into exceptional furever homes. Most of the dog's we rescue are mid-sized, active dogs often with fluffier coats, although don't be surprised to see a chihuahua mix, corgi or other small pup on our website from time to time. We are dog lovers first and foremost! Our adoption process includes an application, a phone conversation, reference checks and a home visit before a placement. We emphasize getting to know our dogs and our potential adopters so that we can help make the right 'fit' for your home and family. Our application is on our "Contact Us" page. Our adoption process is more involved than most other rescues, so if you're in a hurry please do check one of the other great rescues! Or better yet go to a shelter - those dogs need homes more than any. Summit Dog Rescue was founded as "Mountain Dog Rescue" in 2009, but we changed our name in 2013 to our current name as we incorporated saving Colorado dogs and working to have Colorado become a "No Kill" state. into our mission, Our goal is to save more dogs from Colorado's kill shelters. 18,000 dogs a year and 13,000 cats are killed in our great, animal loving state each year. Summit Dog Rescue is a part of "No Kill Colorado" coalition and seek to educate Coloradans about 'no kill' and help bring affordable spay and neuter to areas of Colorado that don't have that option currently. We want all dogs to reach their "peak"! Our adoption fee is $300. All our dogs are fully vetted - spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm tested. Our dogs that come from Arkansas or Tx (high hw areas) come with the remainder of their six months of heartworm preventative pills.

We have a lengthy application, phone interview, reference and finally a home visit. We match our applicants with the best dog possible.
