Cowboy's Journey to Colorado



Cowboy came into a high kill shelter in Missouri last month as a stray. He was only 6 months old, still a baby. The shelter contacted us to help, letting us know he didn't stand a chance for adoption due to a problem with his hips and back leg. He wouldn't put any weight on one of his back legs and x-rays revealed he had a broken pelvis bone, possibly from being hit by a car, and would need an FHO in order to have a normal life. RMLR committed to bringing Cowboy into our rescue, injury and all, knowing that he would get the surgery and the love and attention he needed in Colorado.



We are happy to report that his first surgery went very well last week and he is on his way to recovery, with several months of physical therapy.  RMLR couldn't help with special dogs like Cowboy without the help of our fosters, volunteers, and the community.
Thank you for your support!

Meet Miss New York

 Find out more information about Miss New York and our other Labs for Adoption under Adoptable Dogs


After living in a shelter in the Bahamas for four years, Miss NY is finally adjusting to life in a home! Miss New York is such a wonderfully sweet and loyal lady that just needs about 24 hours to warm up to her new people! She does great in her foster home with two kids (13 and 11), 3 dogs, and two cats!! After living in a shelter for the majority of her life, she can get startled by new noises but she also does a fabulous job bouncing back from it. New people can seem scary to her also, but again, it doesn't take long for them to be her best friend! She is TOTALLY housetrained and doesn't ever need to be crated when left at home by herself. She would make a great hiking companion but also doesn't need a lot of exercise for her temperament (although does probably for her weight!). Miss New York isn't a dog that will come running up to you and knock you down and lick you to death. She is one that will be hesitant at first, but love you FOREVER!!!! She is so happy to be in a home setting with people that love her and can't wait to find her forever home!

 Plea to Spay & Neuter Minimize

Everyday 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are also born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, millions of healthy, loving cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies face early deaths as a form of animal control. Others are left to fend for themselves against automobiles, the elements, other animals, and cruel humans. You can help just by spaying and neutering your pets, don't ever buy from a pet store, as almost every one of them uses some form of a puppy mill, and remind people to adopt from a shelter or a rescue. Thank you! (from here)

Please take a minute to read...

An intact dog can produce two litters a year of 6-10 puppies per litter, which means in six years, one female dog and her offspring could produce up to 67,000 dogs. An average of 40,000 cats/dogs are euthanized in Colorado each year (that's JUST Colorado!).

Please click on www.savecoloradopets.org and find out more about this state sponsored initiative to subsidize spay & neuter programs. Thank you.

Tenderfoot Training web site)

Some rough statistics on shelters:

Out of eight to ten million animals that are in shelters annually, roughly 60% of those dogs are euthanized. Of the other 40% that are adopted out there are 20% of those returned for medical or behavioral problems.

Info obtained from National council on Pet Population study and policy, which is a colalition of animal-related organizations, based on estimates from the American Society for the prevention of Cruelty to animals and the American Veterinary Medical association.
