Chino

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young

Commerce City, CO

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Chino is 3 years old and he loves being inside but he can be outside if he needs to be. He gets very anxious when he is alone inside so it would be best if he was outside or in his cage while everyone is away. He loves cuddling and is a very playful and maybe a little too playful sometimes. I don’t think he knows how big he is with how he plays so you do need to calm him down sometimes. He never bites but will put your arm in his mouth if you are playing rough and listens 80% of the time. He only really understands Spanish but I have been teaching him a little bit of English so that is a work in progress.

Nala

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Nala is a very loving senior dog. She is a whippet/lab mix. She has slowed down in her older age and mostly spends her time snuggling, but still loves to catch her ball in the yard and go for walks. We love her to death but are having our second baby soon and simply do not have the time or the space to give her the attention she deserves. Nala’s personality is very affectionate. She is also a big chewer so she loves chew toys and trying to get peanut butter out of her Kong. She loves walks. Even a short walk or some playtime in the yard is her favorite activity. We don’t own any cats, so unsure how she would act around cats. She does well with other dogs if they are calm. If they constantly get up in her face she will get defensive, but when we have dropped her off with a dog sitter we are always told that she got along with the others dogs in the house. She knows basic commands well and does well with our toddler. She is overall healthy and is on a normal diet.

Meeko

Australian Cattle Dog

Female, Young

Commerce City, CO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meeko is a sweet, active, almost four year old female spayed heeler mix. It breaks my heart to even be in this place. But unfortunately I do not believe that we are the right home for Meeko anymore. We rescued Meeko from death row at an overpopulated shelter in Arizona about 3 years ago. We have experience with the breed, and thought that she might be a good playmate for our other heeler. But Meeko is quite different from our first heeler and is very high energy and requires a long walk or hiking, fetch, and special attention daily. We have tried training, overnight camps, interactive games, daily exercise, mentally stimulating games, etc. On top of her physical and mental needs, Meeko is urinary and fecal incontinent. The vet believes she was hit by a car or had some other trauma event before we adopted her, and parts of her spine are fused together. She does pretty well though when she is kept to a strict feeding and potty schedule.
