Black Mouth Cur puppies and dogs in Frederick, Colorado

Cider is the kind of puppy that reminds you how much confidence can grow when a dog finally feels safe. When she first arrived, she was terrified of everything. New people, new dogs, new environments—it was all overwhelming for her. Now? She’s a completely different puppy. Cider is a happy, playful, confident 5-month-old girl who has discovered how fun life can be. She loves other dogs and thrives around them. Wrestling, tug-of-war, zoomies—if another dog wants to play, Cider is ready. She would especially love a home with a playful adult dog that can continue helping guide and teach her. She’s also good with cats and has adjusted beautifully once given time to settle in and learn that she was safe. Cider is the perfect example of a puppy who just needed confidence and stability to let her real personality come out. Good fit: someone wanting a playful puppy who enjoys other animals and would benefit from having a confident dog friend in the home. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport.

Buck was almost another forgotten shelter dog. I first saw his picture at a very high-kill shelter that euthanizes dozens of dogs regularly. He was severely underweight, scared, and looked like he had nearly starved to death. His surrender notes said his owners dumped him after he killed a chicken. Considering the condition he was in, it is obvious that he acted out of desperation and hunger. I kept telling myself I could not take in another brown Heinz 57 dog. But I could not stop thinking about him. Today, Buck is healthy, safe, and finally able to just be a dog again. Buck is about 2 years old and around 40 pounds with a people-focused, affectionate personality. He absolutely loves attention and wants to be near his person whenever possible. Despite everything he went through, he has remained incredibly social and loving with humans. He also does very well with other dogs overall. He can occasionally act a little dominant with other males, but nothing concerning or over the top. He settles well into group dynamics and enjoys being around other dogs. Buck has a very balanced energy level. He enjoys hanging out, exploring, getting attention, and simply being included in daily life. Now that he no longer has to worry about survival, his personality continues to open up more and more. Dogs like Buck are everywhere in overcrowded shelters right now. Good dogs. Normal dogs. Dogs that simply ran out of time, resources, or human compassion. Buck was lucky enough to make it out. Good fit: someone wanting a loyal, affectionate companion that enjoys being close to their people and included in everyday life. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport.

Meet Cappy Left on the Side of the Road as a Puppy—Now Ready for the Loving Family He Deserves Breed: Black Mouth Cur / Shepherd Mix Gender: Male | DOB: 2/24/2026 | Weight/Expected Size: 31 lbs • Expected Medium/Large Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Cats: Unknown | Kids ✔️ Medical: ❓ Neuter Status Unknown | ✔️ Current for Age Vaccinations | ✔️ Microchipped Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue provides safe transportation to approved adopters throughout the United States. https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions ❤️ Personality, Breed Information & Capy's Story Cappy's life began with an act of kindness after an act of abandonment. He and his littermates were left on the side of a road with no one to care for them. Too young to survive on their own, they depended on each other as passing cars drove by. Thankfully, they were discovered by rescuers before it was too late and brought to safety, where they finally received food, medical care, and the love every puppy deserves. Today, Cappy has left that difficult beginning behind and has grown into a happy, playful, and affectionate puppy who is ready to find a family of his own. Cappy has a fun-loving personality and enjoys making every day an adventure. He loves playing with toys, romping around with other dogs, and spending time with people. One of his favorite things is bath time—while many dogs avoid getting wet, Cappy happily enjoys splashing in the water and doesn't mind a good bath at all. His playful attitude and loving heart make him a joy to be around. He gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy having a canine companion to play with, though he would also be happy as the center of attention in a loving home. As a Black Mouth Cur / Shepherd Mix, Cappy is expected to grow into an intelligent, loyal, and active companion. Black Mouth Curs are known for their devotion, confidence, and eagerness to work with their families, while Shepherds are admired for their intelligence, loyalty, and trainability. Together, these breeds create a wonderful companion for an active family willing to provide exercise, guidance, and plenty of love. Cappy would thrive in a home that offers: Daily walks and outdoor adventures Plenty of playtime and interactive activities Positive reinforcement training Mental enrichment through puzzle toys and games Continued socialization with people and other dogs A consistent daily routine A lifetime of love, patience, and commitment Cappy's story could have ended very differently, but thanks to his rescue, he now has the opportunity to grow up knowing what it feels like to be loved. All that's missing is a forever family to share that journey with. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Like all puppies, Capy is still learning about the world around him. His new family should expect normal puppy behaviors such as chewing, teething, learning house manners, and discovering new experiences every day. Capy is eager to learn and will thrive with patient guidance and positive reinforcement. Starting training early will help him grow into a confident, well-mannered adult dog. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to learn your household routine 3 Months to fully settle into family life Capy will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training House-training and consistent routines Daily exercise and supervised play Continued socialization with people and other dogs Mental stimulation through enrichment toys and games Plenty of love, patience, and encouragement With the right guidance, Capy has all the potential to become an incredible lifelong companion. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Bringing home a puppy is a lifelong commitment that includes proper veterinary care, training, exercise, and companionship. As part of responsible pet ownership, Capy will need: Completion of his puppy vaccination schedule and routine wellness examinations Neutering if it has not already been completed, following your veterinarian's recommendation Monthly flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention A nutritious diet that supports healthy growth and development Daily physical exercise and mental enrichment Continued obedience training and socialization A safe, loving indoor home where he is treated as a valued member of the family Because Capy is still growing, strenuous repetitive exercise and excessive jumping should be limited until his joints have fully developed. We also recommend scheduling a wellness visit with your veterinarian shortly after adoption to establish care and ensure he continues to thrive. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Capy, please complete an adoption application by visiting: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions Thank you for considering adoption through Ozzie and Friends Rescue, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to giving dogs a second chance at a loving home.
