Story

Name: Lady Nesbit Sweetington Breed: Pitbull Mix Sex: Spayed Female Age: 2 years Weight: 49 lbs Good with dogs? Yes, with proper introduction. Good with cats? Yes, her prior foster said she was good with a cat after a slow introduction. Good with kids? Lady Nesbit Sweetington was gentle when she met a baby, showing her sweet side. Because of her playful (and sometimes bouncy!) energy, she may be better suited for a home with older children who can match her zest and give her space when she’s excited. Energy level: She’s the best of both worlds! Lady Nesbit Sweetington has a joyful, high-energy play style; she loves to romp, zoom, and be silly but also knows how to settle down and become your favorite snuggly couch potato. Medical/Behavioral needs: Lady Nesbit Sweetington has allergies that cause some hair loss around her eyes. To keep her comfortable, she receives Cytopoint injections (50 mg) about every 6 weeks (approx. $70–$100 per injection) and can also take diphenhydramine (Benadryl, 50 mg as needed). She does best on a no-poultry diet, which helps manage her symptoms. Ongoing care will include routine follow-up with your veterinarian to keep her feeling her best. Animal Characteristics: Introducing Lady Nesbit Sweetington, the perfect blend of sweetness, silliness, and snuggles! This affectionate girl lights up every room she enters with her wiggly joy and big, loving heart. One minute she’s zooming around in pure delight, and the next she’s curled up next to you, soaking in every bit of affection. She’s friendly with dogs (with a proper introduction), has done well with a cat, and even showed her gentle side around a baby. Because of her playful bounce, she’d thrive with older kids who can join her in the fun and give her space when she’s feeling extra wiggly. She’s eager to find her forever family who will laugh at her goofy antics, enjoy cozy cuddles, and love her just as she is Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at www.pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process.

GAMMA

Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Denver, CO

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Gamma. His name means `third` but he'd love to be first in your heart! Gamma was pretty fearful when he first came to Humane Colorado but with patience he's shown himself to be a gentleman, knowing his basic commands and well-behaved when he's leashed and out for a walk. He likes to take his time getting to know new people and may be stand-offish at first but then he warms up and leans in for head scratches and affection. In his previous home Gamma lived well with another dog and toddler. Due to his size and initial fear around new people we recommend a quiet home with no or older children. He'd like to meet all members of the family, including any other doggies. Experienced owners would be best, who will give Gamma plenty of time and space as he settles in and gets to know his new family.January 23, 2026, 11:36 am

Story

Name: Walter Breed: Queensland Heeler/Boxer Sex: Neutered Male Age: 2 years Weight: 50 lbs Happy, Exuberant, Best Friend Good with dogs? Walter loves to meet new friends and loves to play! He attends daycare to get his wiggles out with other pups. He does best with dogs that match his energy level and will run and chase them. He would be fine as the solo dog in his forever home. Good with cats? Not Tested. He has seen cats while out on walks and has not been overly interested. Walter has met a chicken and was very curious, but not aggressive. Good with kids? Walter has met children and has been good with them. Because of his playful puppy-mouthing, he might be best with older kids, 7+, or those that are accustomed to high energy dogs. Energy level: High! Walter needs plenty of activity, exercise and stimulation to be his best self. He loves walking and hiking! He is good on a leash and may pull towards dogs when they are close but is super manageable. He loves to play with his flirt pole, chew toys and plush panda. He will also sit and rest nicely on a dog bed or couch. Animal Characteristics: Walter is a happy-go-lucky, exuberant boy who is eager to please. He is a gentle soul with a heart full of life and a body full of energy! He wants to be your best friend and activity buddy and go everywhere with you. He is very smart, likes brain challenges like puzzles, and is highly trainable and ready to learn. He already knows many commands and is fully potty trained. He is crate trained, but he’d rather stay close to his people and will tell you so. He is adorably talkative and has a different noise for every emotion he feels! He can be a little mouthy due to his youth and excitable, playful nature, and is working on his best behavior. He loves riding in cars and is ready to go be your partner in life’s joyful journey! Once he has expended his energy, he’s a sweet snuggle bug who loves pets and belly rubs. Walter is young and needs an active adopter who is dedicated to his ongoing training and enrichment. Here’s Walter’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bethanysrescuetails Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at www.pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process.
