Size

Details

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Elsie is an energetic, highly intuitive, loving, and deeply loyal velcro dog rescued from Texas in 2023 and was welcomed home in Golden, Colorado in 2024. She thrives on routine, adventure, and companionship — excelling at dog parks, creek splashing, long walks, and couch cuddles in equal measure. She's great with other dogs and children and adapts well to busy households. Her primary challenge is separation anxiety, which can cause barking, howling, and occasional accidents when left alone for long periods of time. Her new family should be home most of the day, committed to working on her separation anxiety, and patient with any other training she may need. Elsie is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, house-trained, and knows basic commands. She doesn't need a perfect home — she needs a devoted one.

Rescued from a homeless person who abused her & used her to panhandle for money to buy alcohol..I volunteer for community table in golden where I met mama,had her spayed so no puppies on street! She was picked up by animal control running in street traffic & I had my chance to adopt her! I have trained her,she is a sweetheart considering her past..I love her but she needs more than I can give her as I have foot tremors & walk with a cane,she is under 3yrs & very active. She deserves a good home & she'd make a great loyal friend to an active person!!

River

Australian Cattle Dog German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young

Golden, CO

Size

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

Details

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

Story

River is a very special boy! He was a foster fail 2 years ago, when he was six months old. He is playful, goofy, and very loving, but also quite skittish and is likely a one-person dog.River has a bite history on people and dogs. Most of his bites have only resulted in bruising and occur in high stress environments where he struggled to regulate back to calm. He gets along excellently and is very submissive to our smaller and older border collie. We do not allow him to interact with any other dogs, though I believe that with time and structured introductions he would do well.We are rehoming River because after 2 years, he still has not warmed up to my husband and can be a challenge in our home.River needs medication daily to remain calm and needs someone who has a yard (walks are overstimulating) and someone who can commit to training him to improve calm behaviors and develop confidence. He also has a history of back pain and is touch-sensitive. He has improved with age.
