When Family Dogs Fight With Each Other

Lisa adopted Duke, a handsome Labrador Retriever mix in June. She brought home Luther, a friendly Rottweiler mix about 6 months later.  “The boys” as she called them, seemed to get along fine with each other for the first 3 months. Then one evening while Lisa was preparing dinner, a fight broke out between Duke and Luther in the kitchen. It was easy for her to break up the fight but a pretty scary scene nonetheless.

A Tribute to Bentley and his family

Just like people, we know the pups that come through our doors can’t live forever but that doesn’t make it any easier when they make their way over the rainbow bridge. Our hearts break for the wonderful people who came forward and adopted each pup, making sure the days they do have on Earth are as happy as they can possibly be. In this post, we honor Bentley, an MHGSPR alum who sadly passed on, and the loving family he left behind.  Read more →

Alumni Spotlight: Jett

“We adopted Jett 5 months ago and could not be happier with him in our life!  He is an amazing family member and could not have been a better fit.  We love taking him running, hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, really anywhere!  We just love him!  Mile High GSP did such a great job matching us to Jett and making sure we were the best fit possible.  I will admit we spoil him but we wouldn’t have it any other way.  Thank you to Judy, Jan and Dave for all your sincere energy and time in making Jett apart of our family!”
