Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Johnny Bravo finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Johnny Bravo | 2 yrs | Schnauzer/Poodle mix | Tiny dude, big feelings, loyal to his person Johnny Bravo (“JB”) is a smart, affectionate little guy who bonds deeply with his person and loves nothing more than being close—resting his head on you, showing off his prance, or proudly carrying around his favorite toy. At 17 pounds, this black and gray cutie is the perfect size for snuggles and adventures alike. He’s house trained, sleeps through the night without accidents, and does well with a consistent potty routine, though like many dogs, accidents can happen in a new environment as he adjusts. JB knows several commands like sit, stay, come, and leave it, and while he can get distracted, his intelligence really shines when he’s focused—especially if cheese is involved. JB thrives on structure, routine, and mental enrichment. He enjoys multiple daily “wanders” (short, low-pressure outings in quieter areas), puzzle toys, and chew bones. While traditional walks can be stressful due to leash reactivity, he’s been making progress with a trainer and does well in calm environments where he can explore at his own pace. At home, he settles nicely after activity and is content to relax with his person. He can be crated for a few hours and may whine initially, but he does settle with time and consistency. Because of past trauma, JB has some sensitivities and needs an experienced, infinitely patient adopter who understands spicy little dogs and will give him the time, space, and consistency he needs to feel safe. He does not like certain areas of his body being touched and may react if pushed too far, so reading and respecting his cues is essential. He should be the only pet in the home and is not a fit for homes with children. JB is also not suited for apartment living—he needs a quiet, single-family home where he won’t be overstimulated by noise. JB’s story is one of resilience—he came from a difficult past where he was chained outside and survived a severe dog attack that left him hospitalized for weeks. Despite everything, he is incredibly loving, loyal, and eager to connect with his person. He will require ongoing support, including continued training, regular grooming, and likely anxiety management, but for the right person, JB is an incredibly rewarding companion. This cutie pie will need some extra guidance as he continues his journey to the amazing life he deserves, but he’ll more than repay that time and effort with his loyalty and love. If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. The adoption fee for this pet is $500. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you.
