TOFA IS READY FOR SOMEONE TO CHOOSE HER. 

At just 14 weeks old, Tofa is the quiet one of her three siblings — the puppy who may not push her way to the front for attention, but give her a minute and you’ll discover an absolute little love.

Tofa is a 12-pound Lab mix with a gentle, slightly reserved nature. She likes to take things in first, but once she knows you’re a friend, she melts right into you. 

And when the other puppies are settled on the sofa? That’s Tofa’s opportunity. She’ll quietly sneak her way over, curl up close and remind you that she is, in fact, a champion snuggler.

WHY TOFA COULD BE YOUR PUPPY:
Sweet, gentle and affectionate
Friendly and social once she gets comfortable
Settles calmly in her crate at night
Rides beautifully in the car
Loves cuddling with her people

Tofa isn't looking for thousands of likes. She needs one person or family to look at her and say, “That’s our girl.”

If you've been thinking about adding a puppy to your family, don't just follow Tofa's story. Become the reason she gets her forever. 

Apply to adopt Tofa today at eapl.com.  Her adoption fee is $375

Adoption process

THE FIRST STEP to adopting an EAPL animal is to fill out an ADOPTION APPLICATION.
EAPL is a foster-based rescue. We do not have a shelter facility where applicants can come look at multiple animals at one time. All of our animals are in foster homes that range from Denver, to Evergreen, to Northeast Colorado - where they are loved and cared for until they are placed in a forever home.
The adoption process begins when you complete an online Adoption Application, naming either one or a few of our Available Animals you hope to adopt. Completing an application does not restrict you to a specific animal, nor does it obligate you to adopt.
Once we have received your application and determined that you are a good match for the requested animal, we will contact you. The foster parent will then contact you to arrange a time for you to meet the animal, at which time you can decide if you would like to complete the adoption. You may be asked to visit the animal more than once before taking it home. After your initial meeting with the animal, one of our volunteers will conduct a home visit. This may occur before you take the animal home or when the animal is delivered to you.
Once the adoption is approved, you will need to complete our Adoption Agreement and pay the adoption fee. We will keep in contact over the next few days to make sure everyone is happy.
IF AT ANY TIME AFTER ADOPTION, YOU DECIDE YOU CAN NOT KEEP THE PET FOR ANY REASON, you must call EAPL and give us the opportunity to get our pet back based on space available.
Our animals are our clients. Our job is to find each of our animals the right home. Rejected applications are not necessarily a reflection on the applicant’s home, but rather based on the determination that the home is not the right match. Before adopting, keep in mind that many of our animals have never lived inside a home. Some dogs may never have been walked on a leash, socialized, house trained or spent time with other animals. All, even those who previously have been in loving homes, will need patience and understanding as they learn to adapt to a new life and family. Rescued animals need adopters who will not give up on them if they have accidents in the house, pull on the leash, dig in the yard or act nervous or frightened.
Because of the work done in our foster homes and the care we take in matching animals with the right home, most of our animals will fit in their new homes immediately. But some will not. Many will need some form of training.
An adoption will be successful only if the adopter is committed to seeing the animal through the adjustment period. The rewards are the unconditional love and loyalty of a wonderful companion and the satisfaction of knowing you have given a rescued animal a better life. EAPL wants to support you with resources, education, and encouragement for the lifetime of your pet. Please contact us at any time following adoption for assistance.

Adoption fee for all dogs and puppies: $250
Adoption fee for all cats and kittens: $75

Payment will be collected when you get the pet, but will be held until the adoption is final.

Then you will be on your way to your new life with your new family member!

Shelter location

All animals are located in foster homes and would require an arranged meeting. We hold adoptions events throughout the year as well.
