Story
Mr Paco loves his treats, he’ll take out of your hand but he’s afraid doesn’t like to be touched. You’ll need to gain his trust and be patient. At this time I can’t tell you how he’ll be with a harness and leash. He’s using potty pads currently. Once he finds his person and begins to trust them, I can tell he’ll be a sweetheart.  ##2661661##

Story
Pepino is a gentle, shy little guy who’s still learning how to feel safe and confident outside of the shelter environment. He’s a small-breed pup with a big heart, and he’s looking for a calm, patient home where he can truly blossom at his own pace. Pepino would do best with a compassionate and understanding adopter who can give him the time and space he needs to come out of his shell. A confident owner will help him continue building trust and confidence, especially as he navigates new experiences. He should go to a home without young children since he can be nippy when he wants to be left alone. He tends to feel most comfortable around dogs his own size or smaller, though he’ll need slow, thoughtful introductions to form those bonds. He’s also making steady progress with outdoor exploration, growing braver each day. A home with a secure, fenced yard would be ideal, giving Pepino a safe place to explore and gain confidence. He’s doing well with puppy pads—washable ones are recommended, as he sometimes chews disposable pads. Above all, Pepino is searching for a loving, patient person who will support him, encourage him, and show him that the world can be a safe and happy place. With time, kindness, and care, he’s sure to become a devoted and loving companion. ##2667762##

Story
General Information:Cookie is an approximately 4-year-old female Chihuahua who has been spayed, microchipped, and is current on her vaccinations. She arrived at the rescue facility at the end of August 2025 accompanied by one puppy, who has since been adopted. Origin and Arrival:Cookie was rescued from Southeast Colorado; we believe that she and her puppy were left outside without a lot of human interaction. Training and Behavior:She is kennel-trained and familiar with using a doggie door.  Although she has experienced a few accidents inside the house, with consistent supervision, it is expected that she will become reliably housetrained. Social Compatibility:Cookie generally gets along well with most dogs but exhibits some bossiness and jealousy, especially when attention is given to other dogs. Therefore, careful management of interactions with other pets is advisable. Ideal Home Environment:It is recommended that Cookie be placed in a household with older children who are knowledgeable about dog behavior and language, ensuring a harmonious and understanding environment suitable for her needs. Please fill out an application on www.fureverdogdenver.com. If you would like more information or to meet her, please call or text 720 588-6809. ##2505063##

Story
Meet Fiona & Willow — A Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home Together These two little ladies are pure sweetness in a tiny package. Fiona and Willow are Chihuahua mix sisters, weighing in at just 4 and 6 pounds, and at roughly 18 months old, they have all the charm of puppies with just enough grown-up personality to make them an absolute delight. Playful and bright-eyed, these girls love a good romp — but their idea of paradise is curling up right in your lap. They're lap dogs through and through, and will happily spend an afternoon snuggled against you like they've known you forever. When it comes to other dogs, Fiona and Willow may take a moment to warm up to new four-legged faces, but once they're comfortable, they settle in with ease. They're already responsive to their names, great about going outside to do their business, and have wonderful, easy-going temperaments that make them a joy to have around. These sisters have never known life without each other — and they shouldn't have to. They're looking for a home that will take them both and love them as a pair. Ready to open your heart (and your lap) to two of the best little girls around? Apply today at EAPL.com! Their adoption fee is $375 each.  May 11, 2026, 12:18 am

Story
We adopted Beans several months back, and have had the realization she may not be the right fit for our family. We have 2 other big dogs, and while they’re all very playful with each other, Beans is often left behind as she’s too small to play fairly. We believe she deserves a home where someone can be more attentive toward her - potentially in an only dog home. She’s very playful and very jealous for attention. She loves the sun and to sit as close as she possibly can to any human she can.Despite our best efforts, she has not figured out potty training. She will need someone who is willing to work with her.She is technically fine with other animals - she’s never shown aggression. But She’s extremely playful and not great at boundaries, so if she’s not an only pet she’d ideally be in a home with a cat or dog who can tolerate her being in their face.We love her so much & are heartbroken, but it’s important to us she is in an environment where she can be the happy sweet pup she is
