More about Chaput / Choco-latte

General Notes | At eight years old, Choco has traded in the high-speed puppy zoomies for a life of seasoned wisdom, calm companionship, and master-level relaxing. With his soft, cocoa-colored coat and soulful amber eyes, he is the kind of dog who understands exactly what you are thinking before you even say a word. Choco is the ultimate low-stress partner. He has mastered the art of being a loyal sidekick, whether he is joining you for a gentle neighborhood stroll or holding down the fort on his favorite dog bed while you work. He is sweet, steady, and entirely devoted to his favorite people. If you are looking for a gentle soul to fill your home with quiet comfort and reliable friendship, Choco is ready to be your most loyal companion for all the golden years ahead.  Want to adopt this dog?

Purebred dogs regardless of age are $625. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, transportation to Colorado, and supplies while in foster care (that currently average over $750 per dog).Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet and greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process. We will not respond to emails about animal availability or allow meet and greets without an approved adoption application on file. Please Note | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption. We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved.  Your application is good for one year from the date of applying for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle. We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!
