Story
Found her on the side of the road thirsty and hungry. She was shivering and extremely skinny. She was friendly and came right up to me. Opened the trunk and she hopped right in. Seemed to have previous owner. Roughly 3 yrs old. Updated all her shots and she tested negative on all tests, which I can provide. She is not spayed. Training: Well behaved. Her potty training is good but less than great. She knows lay, wait, stay, come, and leave it, but she’s not a pro yet. Needs work on the leash and on jumping. She’s still pretty stubborn. She’s not exactly territorial but she is more on guard when another dog is in her space. She’s done good with other dogs territories. Needs to know it’s okay to be alone. She’ll test you a bit. Needs: A high energy pup and needs 2 walks a day and some play/ training sessions. Doesn’t like to be in a room that you aren’t in. So she may have some separation anxiety. Loves cuddles. Pretty vocal. I want a home that can give her attention + love.

Story
Jack is a loving and smart boy! He survived being hit by a car, suffering two broken legs, but is the fastest little man you know. He enjoys life to the fullest playing and running in the yard with his foster family including their 3 dogs & 2 kids. He is receiving physical therapy as well as adequan therapy, and both his legs are gaining mobility, he may never have full use of his back legs, but he gets around so well already and still has therapy to undergo! He is a dog that will need some special care for a bit, but he will repay with loving kisses and cuddles. He is very smart and easy to manage. We would love for someone to foster to adopt him, so they can fall in love, or an adoption if you're sure he's a fit! Jack is house trained, has a microchip already, is fixed, fully vaccinated and has his adequan and physical therapy covered through yoga animals rescue foundation! If you're looking for a special life guy to brighten up your day Jack is your boy!October 10, 2024, 12:17 am

Story
Hurricane is a young male pup with lots of love to give. He is affectionate, athletic, curious, loyal, and playful. He is quiet, but very friendly and gentle. He's crate- and pad-trained. He's a very good boy and we don't know if he gets along with other dogs. He can be independent at times, but he's very smart and funny. He loves his humans and would love to snuggle and go on walks with you. If you're interested in meeting this funny little hurricane, come and meet him today! He's a baby and has lots of energy, so he's looking for a family to give him lots of love and attention for many years to come.

Star

Labrador Retriever German Shepherd Dog

Female, 5 mos
Westminster, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Star is a wonderfully bright puppy who is good with puppy pads and loves to play with toys. She is a dignified and independent dog who is affectionate, gentle, and loving. She is a very smart girl who is food motivated making her easy to train. She can be a silly girl, jumping and playing with you at times. She is the last of her litter, and so she is in need of a loving home to care for her as she grows into adulthood. Star is a friendly dog who would be a great addition to any home. However, we are not certain whether she is good with other dogs, so she would do best in a home where she is the only pet. If you are interested in adopting Star, please come to the shelter today to meet her!
