My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Sheldon! Sheldon has officially been with us a month. He is a herding mix at 7 months old 30lbs

This poor boy found himself on those last 24 hours at a kill shelter till we stepped in. His story isn’t so great being found with another dog in an abandoned house skin and bones and covered in ticks. Then after being “rescued” spent two months sitting in a kennel at a overcrowded shelter

Now he is in a foster home in Denver but those scars run deep. He is good with other dogs but needs slow intros as he is reactive at new dogs at first. He’s high energy and finally has gained appropriate weight. He really loves to snuggle and is great all new people

**Crate Trained
**House Trained - will let you know when he needs to go potty
**Great on leash
**Good in car
**Has basic obedience and knows how to do "middle" Command
**Very smart and treat motivated so training him has been easy so far!

Someone with herding dog or working dog experience is preferred.

From a scared, fragile pup to a bright, playful spirit, Sheldon’s transformation has been amazing to watch.
Someone give this boy a chance, we didn’t save him from dying for nothing!!

Comes fully vetted and with 2 free one on one dog training sessions

More about this rescue

LET'S SAVE SOME DOGS

We are a small Colorado based Dog Rescue team, dedicated to providing a loving and caring environment for our rescues, while also working to break the cycle of owner surrenders.

POSO is working tirelessly to ensure that each dog receives the attention, medical care, and love they deserve. We hold monthly group training classes for the community (yes, even those without a rescue dog), providing free training for our foster families and our adoptive families. We are doing more than just rescuing dogs, we are changing the pattern of surrendering by providing knowledge and education through our community.

Our origin story is rooted in our passion for animals and our goal to make a positive change in both the lives of a dog and their human to break the pattern and ensure less dogs are returned to shelters. With over 15,000 Dog Rescue organizations in the United States and over 1.5 billion websites out there, we believe our story, our mission and our approach sets us apart. POSO is a Dog Rescue doing more than rescuing dogs.
