About Banksy

Banksy is a 3MO, 7lb little Terrier/Dachshund mix (we guess?) Banksy and her 6 siblings were surrendered to an overcrowded shelter in Texas with their terrified, sweet Momma. The shelter is no place for any dog, especially a little family, so we agreed to intake them into our rescue where they could go straight to a foster home. Banksy and her siblings have all been well socialized, vetted, and are ready to find their forever families now! All these little kiddos love other dogs and people. We are guessing they are going to be about 15-20lbs when full grown (their mom weighs 13lbs). If you are interested in adding Banksy or one of her siblings to your family, please fill out our adoption applicatio at brighterdaysdogrescue.com

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

20°F to 45°F

Dec – Feb

Winters bring periodic snow but also frequent sunny days. Chinook winds can melt snow quickly and push temperatures into the 50s and 60s even in January. Paw protection is recommended on icy trails, and keep pets hydrated in the dry mountain air.

Spring

32°F to 62°F

Mar – May

Spring is unpredictable with snowstorms possible through May alongside warm sunny stretches. Boulder Creek rises with snowmelt and can be dangerous for dogs. The wildflower season on trails above Chautauqua Park is spectacular for hikes with your pet.

Summer

55°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Warm days with low humidity and cool evenings make summer ideal for outdoor adventures with pets. Afternoon thunderstorms are common and can include lightning and hail, so plan hikes for mornings. Carry plenty of water at altitude.
