Story

Huey is a 4 year old pit/border collie mix (we think?). He is a great dog, but he does not get along with our 2 year old son and has shown anxiety around him. Yesterday he nipped and made contact with our son. We cannot ethically keep him in our home. He is a bit anxious but is such a lovable guy. He is an active boy, loves to run and play as much as possible. He is also a snuggle bug. Loves rubs and attention and will follow you anywhere. He is kennel and house trained and up to date with vaccines. He would do well in a home without young children or cats as he tried to herd our cats and needed to be kept separate. Older kids and teens are fine.

Story

Hi, I’m Sphen! I’m a handsome, goofy, 5-year-old German Shepherd mix weighing around 90 pounds, and I’m looking for a new person or family who has the time, space, and experience to give me the life I deserve. I’m a very sweet, affectionate dog with a big personality. Once I know you, I love being with my people. I’m a big-time cuddler, I love sleeping on the bed, and I’m happiest when I’m close to my family. I especially tend to bond strongly with women. I’m also a smart boy! I know sit, stay, shake, come, leave it, and my name. I have a playful, energetic side and would love a home where I can get plenty of exercise, attention, enrichment, and time outside. I’m house-trained and have done very well in the home. I can stay in my kennel when needed, and I actually enjoy my kennel as a safe, comfortable place. That said, being left alone for long periods isn’t my favorite thing, and I can become restless and hyper. I love playing fetch and carrying around my favorite toys.

Katsu

Shiba Inu

Male, Adult

Northglenn, CO

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Katsu is 9 years old. I've had him since he was 1 years old. I acquired him through a friend who wanted to rehome Katsu. I want Katsu to go to a great home who is able to take him on walks and love him. He's been such a great companion to me, so that is why I believe he'd have a much better life in a home who can care for him. I am recently married and we have a newborn child. We haven't had the time that Katsu deserves. Katsu is a very loving dog, but is very independent. He's a super smart dog, so be careful because he does like to get out. On the rare chance he does get out, he always finds his way back home. He's very good with people and kids, but can be mean to some dogs. It's hit and miss when it comes to other dogs. I haven't socialized him much with other dogs though. Anyone who takes him will definitely love him. It took a lot of thought and discussion to give up such a great dog, but I know there's a better home for him out there.
