Story
Meet Socks Socks is a confident, affectionate girl who loves being close to her people. Her goofy, playful personality shines through right away, and she’s always happy to trade cuddles for smiles. She’s smart, curious, and adventurous—she does great on hikes, rides well in the car, and would love an active home. One of Socks’ sweetest qualities is how well she matches her human’s energy. Want a couch potato day? She’s happy to snuggle. Ready to run, hike, or explore? She’s right there with you. This makes her a wonderful fit for many different lifestyles. Socks is great with other dogs and enjoys being around them. She would especially love a home with another playful pup but would also do just fine as an only dog. She’s also wonderful with young kids and would thrive in a family home, especially one with a yard where she can run, explore, and enjoy time with her people. She is fully potty trained and sleeps through the night on a dog bed next to her person’s bed. Socks is kennel trained but chooses to use it on her own terms—she’ll relax in it when she wants to or when visiting others (she’s done great sleeping in it at family homes). She eats outside of the kennel and is comfortable settling wherever she feels cozy. Socks does best with consistency and enrichment, and while she may get bored if left too long, she continues to show she can handle alone time in the crate well with routine and reassurance. If you’re looking for a loving, adaptable companion who can be both your adventure buddy and your cuddle bug, Socks might be the perfect addition to your family. ##2550369##

Story
Blue is an incredibly energetic and happy boy. He is a herding breed so he needs a very active lifestyle, OR he needs a job. Now we're not talking accounting or anything sedentary, he needs a job herding, or an adventure safety buddy job where he can hike with you and keep bears away. Or something. Regardless, he's a good boy and he was rehomed through no fault of his own, they just had to move...life happens. He's currently in a foster home and does well with all of their doggies! We are unsure about cats. He has also been socialized with children in his previous life.  If you are interested in meeting Blue, please fill out the application! All adoptions include age appropriate vaccines, spay/neuter, deworming.  Located in Delta CO

Lady is looking for a safe place to land — a calm, committed home willing to guide her, cheer her on, and give her the time she needs to feel truly at home. Meet Lady This beautiful girl is the full package — sweet, smart, and full of potential just waiting to shine. Lady is a shy but loving girl and will need a patient, understanding home that’s willing to move at her pace. She loves being outside, happily sniffing and exploring, and does best with a consistent routine that helps her feel safe and secure. At first, she may be hard to catch and may not want to come inside right away, and she might not be comfortable with touch for the first few days — but with time, trust, and consistency, she will make progress. Having another dog in the home will be a huge help for Lady. She absolutely loves other dogs and takes comfort in their presence. She can be a little socially awkward, likely due to limited socialization as a puppy, but her heart is in the right place and she truly thrives around canine friends. Here’s what makes Lady special: • Potty trained • Sleeps soundly in her crate all night • Great with other dogs • Loves being outside and exploring Lady has so much love to give and will be incredibly rewarding for the right person willing to give her patience and grace.

With her high energy and working-dog instincts, Carmella would love nothing more than a purpose-filled life where she can stay active and engaged.

Story
My name is Summer and I haven’t met a person or another dog that I don’t love. My foster mom tells me I’m a good girl all the time because I do my business outside and mostly listen when she gives me commands. I’m still trying to remember to slow down when we walk together but that’s a tough one because I’m just so happy to outside. I love to play fetch, frisbee, and chase outside. I’m a great hiking partner and then I’m up for a great cuddle session.  I will do best in an active house where I have a yard to play in or with someone who is committed to take me on walks. I also get to go to the dog park to get out some energy. My foster mom says the song, ain’t nothin gonna break my stride, is always playing in my head. No one can rain on my parade. I’m excited to meet you and find my forever home. ##2554687##

Story
Meet Lexi Lexi’s story begins in a grocery store parking lot on the reservation, where her family brought the entire litter in hopes of giving the puppies away. Thankfully, a compassionate good Samaritan stepped in, gathered all the babies, and reached out to the rescue for help. While the family would not give us mama, we did secure a spay appointment so she won’t have to go through another litter. Because of the kindness and quick action of a stranger, Lexi is now safe, thriving, and ready to begin her own bright future. Lexi’s Personality & Progress Confident and outgoing: Lexi and her siblings are a joyful, social bunch—there isn’t a shy pup in this litter. Wellcaredfor beginnings: Their original family clearly loved them; they arrived fat, happy, and wonderfully playful. Smart as can be: Lexi already follows her foster mom in and out for potty breaks and comes when she’s called. Great crate habits: At night, she sleeps soundly with her siblings in their comfy wire crate. Carride approved: She’s been on a few rides and handles the car like a pro. Brave and full of zest: Lexi approaches life with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a bold little spirit. Why You’ll Love Her Lexi is the kind of puppy who makes every day feel a little brighter. She’s playful, peopleoriented, and wonderfully eager to learn. Her confidence and intelligence shine through in everything she does—from trotting after her foster mom to mastering new routines with ease. Her estimated birthday is November 27, 2025, though we don’t know the exact date. Her mom looks to be an Australian Shepherd mix so we think the puppies are Australian Shepherd / Australian Cattle Dog and several other rez breeds.
