Story

100% of adoption fee goes to the shelter or rescue of your choice. 🐾 Meet Harli Quinn – Your New Sweet, & Loving Adventure Buddy!🐾 This stunning, playful, and affectionate 3 year old pup is looking for her perfect match. She’s sweet, loyal, & thrives on being the center of attention. Raised with dogs, cats, & kids, she coexists well with others—but her strong herding instincts show in her play. She often tries to control interactions around her & may do better in a home that understands this behavior & can help guide her through it. She’ll need regular grooming to keep her looking & feeling her best. Seeking an experienced dog owner who understands her drive & energy. She may thrive best as an only dog or with another confident, similarly-minded pet. Harli would love an active lifestyle, adventures, training, & plenty of enrichment. This is a very difficult decision, but I believe Harli deserves a home where she can get the focused time, structure, and activity she craves.

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.

Tessa

Australian Shepherd

Female, Senior

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

My name is Tessa, and I am a 9 year old pure-bred mini Australian Shepherd. I have been with one family for most of my life, but almost 2 years ago one of my humans passed away and my other one couldn't take care of me anymore. I have since been with my new family, but they have little children who make me really anxious and scared. I do best in a calm environment where I am the center of attention. Please no children, unless they are older (12 years +) and know how to be calm around me. I grew up with other pets, and can do well with other dogs, I just need to be slowly introduced. I do love cats and do great with them in the home. I am overall a really sweet girl, and will stick to you like glue once I get to know you! I take anxiety medication currently, and am on a special diet because I am overweight. I am up-to-date on all vaccines and will have a copy of my medical records upon adoption with me.

Story

Looking for a Loyal and Lovable Companion? Meet Moon, a loving rescue dog ready to be a part of someone's family! Moon is a 4 year old Shepherd/Lab mix. She’s a little chunky lol but should weigh about 60 pounds once she loses a couple pounds :) She is super sweet and a happy dog with a heart full of love. She is affectionate and friendly. She enjoys giving kisses, playtime, car rides, going on walks or cuddling with her humans. Moon is a medium energy dog who is a really good girl. Moon is potty trained if taken out regularly and is doing well with crate training. She's dog friendly tho unknown about cats. She does great with kids and is a very friendly pup. She's a cute girl, who is smart and learns quickly. She is a snuggle bug, who will love you forever, be a loyal companion and eager to please.. Moon's backstory: Moon's owner died unexpectedly and none of the family would take Moon or her 14 year old fur sister Sunny - they ended up at a kill shelter in Southern Colorado. Sunny is also available for a furever foster (due to age) and we’d love them to go to the same home but they would also do well in their own homes.
