Story

Hi, I’m trying to urgently but responsibly rehome a 7-year-old 60 pound spayed black lab mix named Bonnie in the Denver area due to unrelated life circumstances. Bonnie is originally from the Atlanta Humane Society. She’s friendly with dogs, great with children, and has up to date vaccine and vet records. She rarely barks, but does communicate with soft howling. She enjoys tough chewer toys and stuffed animals, but will rip and de-stuff any non-rugged toys. Loves walks but also very lazy when it is cold outside. Questions for potential adopters, in addition to a meet and greet prior to commitment: 1. Do you currently have pets? 2. What is your living situation (house/apartment/yard)? 3. Have you owned dogs before?

Cooper

Catahoula Leopard Dog

Male, Young

Arvada, CO

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

He is a 5-year-old dog that we adopted during the lockdown. Over time he grew from a playful puppy into a relaxed, affectionate companion who enjoys lounging on the couch and chewing on bones. He has had basic training and knows commands such as sit, lay down, stay, and shake. He is a smart dog and learns quickly, especially when treats are involved, though he can be a little picky about them.He is also an active dog who enjoys walks, runs, and hikes, and would do best with an owner who can give him regular exercise. Because he has guardian/hunting instincts, he can get distracted by small animals like rabbits during walks, but he responds well to correction and settles back down.He previously lived with another dog, a Staffy who he seemed to view as a mother figure. Sadly she passed away. While he bonds closely with people and is great with children, he is not comfortable around small dogs. He can also jump fences if he is not secured and someone willing to continue working with him.

Golden, CO

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

My father recently passed away, and I am trying to find a loving home for his sweet boxer, Luna, who is about 9 years old. She was his loyal companion, truly two old souls keeping each other company, and it’s really important to me that she finds a safe and caring place to land. Luna is house-trained, affectionate, and full of personality. She’s a goofy, loving girl who would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a dog without the puppy chaos. She may do best as the main pup, but if you already have a pack, we can absolutely schedule meet-ups to see if it is a good fit. Unfortunately, I’m not able to take her in myself because I already have multiple dogs and will soon have construction starting at my home, and my dad’s girlfriend isn’t able to keep her either. We are located in the Lakewood / Golden, Colorado area, and we’re happy to coordinate meet-and-greets or provide any additional information that might be helpful.

Story

Meet this sweet, energetic Cane Corso girl! ~2 years old, ~70 lbs, and full of personality. She came to me underweight and in rough shape, but now she’s healthy, strong, and ready for a home that can keep up with her. Why you’ll love her: • Super playful and full of energy — perfect for active, experienced owners • Dog-friendly and great with kids • Crate trained, potty trained, and knows basic commands • Some separation anxiety, but does well in her crate • Not spayed, but fully vaccinated — I would not want her bred She thrives when she has space to run and play, so a large yard and owners familiar with big, strong guardian breeds is ideal. My apartment can’t meet her needs, and my older dog has a spinal condition, so I’m looking for a home where she can truly thrive. She comes with her XL crate, bed, bowls I’m happy to foster her while she transitions to her forever family. Vet records, photos, and videos are available — serious inquiries only, please. This girl deserves the best!
