Story
Umi is a 2-year-old pittie mix with a sweet, happy spirit and a heart full of love. She’s a soft and gentle girl who’s curious about the world and genuinely enjoys discovering new things. While she can be a bit unsure at first, Umi is very easy to encourage and blossoms quickly with a little reassurance and positivity. She’s friendly with both people and other dogs, and she truly enjoys being part of the fun. Umi has a joyful, easy-going personality—she loves engaging with her surroundings, sharing happy moments, and soaking up attention from her people. With kindness and encouragement, Umi’s confidence and happiness continue to grow. She’s ready to bring smiles, tail wags, and warmth to a home that will love her as much as she loves back.

Story
Klaus is a sweet, people-loving dog who leans in for ear rubs. He is not yet walking on leash and may “pancake” or stop when leash pressure is introduced, showing that he needs positive-association training to build confidence with leashing and movement. With treats, patience, and gentle encouragement, he’s made progress. Klaus will do best with a patient adopter who can move at his pace and help him learn that the leash leads to good things.

Story
***Staff thinks I will be ready by Early Feburary. My foster family says I`m still developing my personality. *** I am not currently at the shelter because I`m growing big and strong in a foster home! You can sign up to pre-adopt me by placing a $50 choice hold. This is a non-refundable fee that does not go towards my adoption fee, but it does give you the first opportunity to adopt me. Shelter staff will contact you when I’m ready to go home with my new family! To place a choice hold, you can either come into the shelter or call us at 719-302-8707; you may wait to speak with a customer service representative or leave a voicemail. Choice holds are placed on a first-come, first-serve basis and only one choice hold can be placed on an animal. Once I am old enough to go home, I will have to be adopted at the shelter without a visit. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to visit while I’m in the foster home as it’s a lot of stress on me to be transported back and forth to the shelter for visits, which makes me more susceptible to getting sick. We want to be healthy for our new life together!

Story
Mrs. Nesbitt is a sweet girl who is going to need guidance with potty and crate training. She may need time to adjust to her new home and learning what is and isn`t appropriate to chew on. It is unknown how she does with other animals and children, so slow and proper intros are needed.
