Story
James has been with us since 2016, so we do not take this decision lightly. She has had an increase in behavioral issues related to potty-training since we had a baby last summer. James has always had anxiety issues; she was a street dog in Thailand and brought over to Denver from a rescue that is no longer around. She shakes during car rides and hides from strangers, but she loves her humans. We call her a house cat because she acts more like a cat than a dog - she likes to be at home, snuggling on the couch. She has a big sister dog and cat who she gets along with great. We are rehoming due to the increase in frequency of accidents inside, and our inability to focus more energy and resources in training with a new baby.

Story
Scooter is the sweetest little guy with a heart full of love. He enjoys playing with other dogs and absolutely adores attention from people. Scooter was recently returned to the Rangely Animal Shelter but it was through no fault of his own- his doggy friends just played a little too rough for his smaller size. This happy boy is ready for a fresh start and a family who will give him all the love he deserves. Could Scooter be your new best friend?

Story
This is Chance. He’d had a bit of a rough time before we took him into the rescue, but he’s overcome everything it had thrown at him. Very scared at first, Chance is sadly still a little wary of people He’s very sweet, patient and loving. He’s happy to just have a spot in a comfy home, doesn’t bark or fuss Chance loves to play and be around other dogs. A home with other dogs is a must. He’s very submissive, shares his toys and will turn away from overbearing dogs. He is a little guarded over food and needs to be fed separately He needs a home with patient humans and a doggie or 3 Chance is potty and crate trained will go happily into his crate when asked. He doesn’t do well on a leash, he will chew them and is not happy going on walks. A home with a safe fenced yard is required.

Story
Meet Penny, a 6-year-old Basenji mix with a heart full of love and a spirited personality. Originally from Mexico, Penny made her way to California in December 2020 and was quickly adopted. However, she was returned when her previous family found out they were expecting a baby, and Penny wasn’t comfortable around the little one. Penny is a sweet and loving dog who thrives in the right environment. She’s fully house trained, never has accidents inside, and is a joy to have around. Penny enjoys long walks and playing with her toys, but she also loves relaxing and taking naps next to her favorite people. While Penny is not good with other dogs, cats, or kids, she is an ideal companion in a home where she can be the sole focus of attention. She’s working on her reactivity to other dogs on walks, so a patient family willing to help her through her anxiety would be the perfect fit. If you’re looking for a loyal and affectionate dog who will shower you with love and appreciate a calm, dog-free home, Penny is ready to become a cherished member of your family.
