Story

Doc is a sweet, energetic Bernedoodle puppy who is just about a year old. He’s full of love, enthusiasm, and curiosity about the world around him. Doc would thrive in a home with a family who can give him plenty of attention, take him on long walks, and include him in their daily adventures. He has previously lived with a 12‑year‑old dog who wasn’t always patient with his puppy energy, but Doc himself remained friendly, and eager to play. When fully grown, he’ll likely weigh between 65–75 pounds. Doc has not been neutered yet, following his veterinarian’s recommendation to allow him to fully develop, especially his hips.

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

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?

Story

Snoopy is an amazing dog. He's so friendly and sweet. He loves people and to cuddle under the blankets. I've had him since he was a puppy and he's now 14 with no known health issues. However, my wife is severely allergic and keeping him has become untenable for us. We have tried everything, but her health is really suffering.

Jolene

Australian Shepherd

Female, Adult

Arvada, CO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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

Story

Meet Jolene 💛 Jolene is an almost 3-year-old purebred Australian Shepherd who is incredibly sweet with people and loves children. She is fully house-trained, affectionate, loyal, and a true joy to be around. Rehoming her is heartbreaking, but we are choosing safety and love for everyone involved. Jolene has developed territorial behaviors with other dogs in her space. This began in our backyard after exposure to aggressive neighbor dogs and has increased over time due to major life changes in our home. She does great with other dogs in neutral spaces like walks, parks, and dog parks — the issue is only in spaces she considers hers. She has never shown aggression toward humans. With young children and another large dog in our home, we are concerned about stress and safety. Jolene would truly thrive in a single-dog home where she can feel secure and be the center of attention. She is not a problem dog — just a wonderful dog who needs the right environment to thrive. 💛

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.

Luna

Boxer

Female, Adult

Golden, CO

Size

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

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.
