Dino

Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Male, Young

Commerce City, CO

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

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

Story

We took Dino in at 7 weeks (currently a year and a half) for a friend who had adopted him for her son but hadn’t closed on her new home. The situation fell through and we ended up keeping Dino. We have spent the last year trying to provide a good home for Dino when in reality we really didn’t need an additional job as me and my husband work longer hours and our kids are so busy with school and sports. He requires more than we are able to give. He’s been taken very good care of, up to date on all vaccinations and gets regular monthly grooming and house trained. We’ve tried to kennel train him like our other dog, but he doesn’t love the kennel. He’s a really sweet dog but very serious about his meal times. We hope his next home is a home that has lots of time for Dino and can work with all the energy he has.

Story

Diesel is truly a special dog, extremely sweet and loving. We rescued him at the age of 4 months old pup, he is now 5 years old. Ideal adopter will be able to provide plenty of exercise and enrichment. Be able to fund training, he knows basic commands. But will need training to help with leash pulling, dog reactivity, and some toy aggression. He is wonderful with children, loves snuggles, will lick you till he cant possibly lick anymore lol. He is wonderful and it pains us to rehome him but due to personal medical changes we can’t provide him the life he deserves.

Story

Willie Mae is a VERY loving and sweet girl. She smiles. She gets along perfectly with all animals and people but Willie Mae needs an owner that is active and can take her on adventures. She would be an amazing adventure sidekick. Prior to moving back to Colorado we lived on several acres where she was able to run and explore all day long. Now we are in the suburbs with busy schedules and Willie Mae’s mental health is suffering. This is a painful decision but we are reaching out to find someone who can give her the life she needs and truly deserves. You must have dog experience for us to consider placing her with you.

Story

Ranger is a loving, affectionate boy who thrives on attention and being close to his people. He is very well behaved and has happily lived with other dogs and children, showing a gentle and patient nature. After losing his longtime canine companion, Ranger would truly blossom in a home with another dog to bond with or with someone ready to give him the love he adores. He is the kind of loyal, steady dog who will greet you with a wagging tail every day and fill your home with warmth and companionship.

Story

We rescued Penny about 6 years ago. She can be aggressive with other animals at first. But then turns into a sweetheart. She will not bite, just bark loudly and look mean. She loves kids and attention. She will cuddle up and ask for belly rubs. Sad to have to give her up, but I have been moving too often with my job and it is not fair for her and can’t give her the attention she deserves.

Big Boy

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Puppy

Brighton, CO

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Big Boy was part of 3 puppies we rescued in Texas. Mom was dumped and had her litter of 8 puppies. Big Boy is super smart, treat/food motivated, and has a curious instinct. He loves treat-dispensing toys and any toys that require him to sniff out treats. Out of the 3, Big Boy was always first to learn something new, and his siblings followed. He loves playing with his siblings and can share toys for the most part, but he is always interested in the toys that his siblings have. Big Boy is still learning boundaries, such as not eating his siblings food or taking his siblingstreat-dispensing toys away. For this reason, we tend to feed/ give treat-dispensing toys separately. Big Boy is potty-trained. Big Boy attends puppy training classes he knows sit, down, touch, stand, lets go. Big Boy is curious about my moms cat, but the cat is not ready to interact with Big Boy. He will try to sniff her or eat the cat food. He gets along great with my brother 7-year-old Black Lab and 13 week Corgi.
