Story
Our family is looking for a loving home for our pup Timber. Timber is a loving 9 yo mini Aussie border collie. T is so affectionate, loves cuddles, loves running, walking, fetching, really anything outside. Timber does not like car rides, new things, and being on leash. Timber can be very anxious in new situations and takes some time and treats to be comfortable. Timber would do best in a home with older children (children who won’t grab his tail etc.) I’ve had Timber since he was a puppy and he is so smart. He learns new tricks so quickly and currently knows sit, lay down, up (stand on hind legs), bow, and spin. T gets along well with other dogs when he is off leash and he has great recall but when he is on leash he has leash reactivity. We’ve navigated this by always having high value treats to distract him when he is on leash. It is very hard for me to rehome T but I want him to have the best life possible and unfortunately my family can no longer give that to him.

Story
Biggie is the sweetest little boy, he is super quick to learn and eager to make new friends. He does great at the dog park and has never gotten into any scuffles with humans or dogs. He has attended 3 puppy classes and has picked up well on the tricks and methods taught. It would be awesome if Biggie could have a backyard as I live in an apartment right now and he loves nothing more than sun bathing in the grass. He does well with kids too so a family with small children would be no problem at all. I just want him to find a home that ready to take on a puppy and give this sweet boy the time and space he needs.

Story
Dakota is a very sweet, tepid dog. He is 7 and still enjoys active play but doesn't mind lounging around plenty. For many years he lived with me at my parent's house where he had multiple acres to roam freely and his best buddy, Chance, a small black Dachshund. Since I moved to go to school at CU Boulder, it has become clear that he needs a bit more space than what I can offer him with my 500 sq ft apartment. He loves walks and tug of war. He grazes on his food so he is not fed at any specific time and is very low maintenance. He is extremely well potty trained. He really just loves being where people are.

Story
Looking for a New Home for Spot 🐾❤️ Meet Spot — a gentle, well-behaved 9-year-old terrier mix who’s looking for a new family to love. Spot is a small pup, around 25 lbs, with adorable white fur and brown spots. He’s incredibly sweet, quiet (no barking!), and gets along wonderfully with cats. He’s house-trained, cuddly,q+9******* and makes a wonderful companion. Spot has spent his whole life in Lafayette, CO, enjoying the sun, snow, and those beautiful spring days. Sadly, his loving owner — our grandma — recently moved into an assisted living facility and can no longer care for him. He’s currently staying with us, but we’re unable to give him the time and attention he deserves long-term. We’re looking for a kind, stable home where Spot can spend his golden years in comfort and love. He doesn’t ask for much — just a soft bed, gentle walks, and someone to cuddle with. If you or someone you know might be a good fit, please reach out. Let’s find this sweet boy the home he deserves. ❤️
