Story
My mom first acquired Zodo about 7 years ago. Unfortunately, as my mother has aged, she is unable to continue caring for Zodo. It has been a difficult realization for her. Zodo is 16 years old. She is a spry little thing for her age. Surprisingly, she is a very active dog. She has no known health problems except that she is missing some teeth. Zodo needs a home where she can come and go outside freely as she frequently needs to go outside to go to the bathroom. If Zodo needs anything more of, it's walking. My mom has been unable to give Zodo the activity she needs. I hope Zodo ends up in a home where she gets regular exercise, a soft bed to sleep in, and nice people to care for her.

Parris

English Bulldog

Female, Senior
Westminster, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Parris is a sweet dog and does not require much but she is aggressive with other dogs. It is becoming increasingly worse the older she gets, I have two other dogs in my house and I am breaking up dog fights a couple times a week. She has been like this since we bought her. She loves to lay in the sun and sit next to you in her bed. She really does not require much work except an occasional belly rub and loves to be brushed.'We have had her 10 years and she is up to date on all her shots. She recently had several teeth removed so we now put water in her food to soften it. the must haves are a nice bed for her to lay in, she really does not like to sit on the floor. She will go for walks but they are small and she can't be out in the sun for too long due to their compromised breathing, She is about 42 pounds. It will be hard to have her go but I just cant deal with the fighting any longer. And in saying that I can assure you she has never hurt or even attempted to harm a human.

Chief

Cane Corso Labrador Retriever

Male, Adult
Westminster, CO
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Chief was adopted late 2024, after being surrendered at six months old for growing too large for apartment living. He came from a home with small children/cats and was shy and sweet, having spent much of his early life crated. What I found was one of the most loving, loyal, and joyful dogs I’ve ever known. Chief is truly everyone’s friend, dogs, cats, kids, adults, big or small. He loves the dog park, daycare, and making new friends wherever he goes. He’s well known by his vet, daycare staff, and dog park regulars for brightening everyone’s day. He has basic training(sit, stay, shake, lay down) is crate, kennel, and house trained, and can walk off leash, though he does want to greet everyone. He’s gentle taking treats, quiet in the home, and only barks when someone rings the doorbell. Chief does best with 1–1.5 hours of daily exercise and lots of affection. He would thrive with an active individual/family with older children and would love a canine companion, though he’s great alone
