Story
Rebel is a playful puppy who is ready to find a family with the time and patience to help him grow into his best self! He may take a little longer to settle into a new home, but once he’s comfortable, he’s ready to play, learn, and have fun. Rebel will need plenty of chew toys, enrichment, and positive-reinforcement training to keep his busy puppy brain happily occupied. He has lived well with another dog and would do best with children 14+. Rebel also has allergies that may require follow-up care with his veterinarian. If you’re ready for the fun and rewarding adventure of raising a puppy, Rebel is ready to get started!August 12, 2026, 5:32 pm

Story
Gracie is a wiggly, friendly girl who brings enthusiasm in whatever she does. She's quite the social butterfly and loves taking walks, play time and meeting new people. Gracie already knows her basic commands and seems very housetrained. She's eager to engage with her people and show off both her smarts and her eagerness to learn. When it comes to other dogs, her playful energy can be a bit much for some canine companions, and she doesn't always pick up on their cues when they're ready for a break. Because of this, she may do best with dog friends who enjoy an active play style and will give her a gentle correction as she learns her grown up doggie manners. Given her outgoing personality and lack of history we recommend a visit with any children in your home, to make sure she's not too much! This sweet loveable girl will thrive in a home that will provide lots of opportunities for play, activities and affection!August 12, 2026, 5:32 pm

Story
Geode is a hidden gem just waiting to shine! This sweet guy is affectionate, highly treat-motivated, and happy to show off his “sit” for a tasty reward. He loves to run and play, but walks beautifully on leash when it’s time to explore. Geode doesn’t quite realize how big he is, so he’d do best with older kids who can appreciate his enthusiastic personality. He also looks absolutely fabulous in a collared shirt, proving this handsome gem has plenty of sparkle!August 12, 2026, 5:32 pm

Momo may be a little shy in her kennel, but take her outside and watch her personality bloom! This sweet girl loves to play, chase a ball, and show off her goofy side. She’s affectionate, full of fun, and sure to keep you laughing with her silly antics. Momo would do best with kids 6+ and is ready to be your playful, loving best friend!August 12, 2026, 5:32 pm

Story
Kawasaki is an older girl and her `vroom vroom` had slowed to a quieter idle! She'd love a home where she can park herself in the sunshine and enjoy her Senior statusl Kawasaki came to Humane Colorado as a stray so we don't know her history but we do know she's friendly, leash-trained and easy to walk. Since we don't know much about her background we recommend a slow introduction to other dogs and pets in your home and she may do best with older children. Bring in your family to meet this lovely girl!August 12, 2026, 5:32 pm
