He loves to snuggle and enjoys lots of pets. He is potty trained, neutered and walks well on a leash. He would love a younger dog companion or a big backyard.

Story

I acquired my dog Dozer from a homeless guy that just had a litter, he was six weeks old when I got him he will be 2 years old in June. I called my vet (vca in Thornton) got him in asap to get him checked out and get shots as they requested. In Febuary of 2025 I put myself in a rehab program for alcohol, went to sober living and am 14 months sober now. While i was in rehab and sober living he was at pawsativity in the foster program while I couldn’t have him. I am living with my cousin and he got over the fence so the landlord says he has to go. I have been reaching out to friends and contacted everyone I can as I’d like to have him back after finding a new place that would allow me to have him. In a new home I would say a six foot fence, possible kennel as he has been trained, he loves to cuddle so be ready. He is active, very loving, curious, and very happy! He has been around other dogs his whole life and gets along great with others!

Dobby

Labrador Retriever Chihuahua

Male, Adult

Commerce City, CO

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Dobby is a 10-year-old dog looking for a calm, patient, low-stimulation home. He is a sensitive dog who does best when life feels predictable and quiet. While he can be sweet and attached to his people, he also struggles with significant anxiety and does not do well in a busy household. We are making this decision carefully and with a lot of honesty because we want the best possible fit for him. Dobby needs an experienced adopter who understands anxious dogs and can give him the stable environment he needs. He is not the right match for every home, but we believe there may be a person or setting that suits him much better than ours. Our goal is to find Dobby a home where he can feel safe and understood.

Star is about 10 years old. She is GREAT with kids, gets along with other dogs, is loving and is not aggressive at all. She is getting older and will need more personal attention than we can offer.

Story

Daisy is a beautiful purebred Great Pyrenees with a heart just as big as her fluffy frame. This sweet girl is incredibly friendly, gentle, and loves being around people and other dogs. She truly lives up to the “gentle giant” reputation of her breed.Daisy has an adorable quirk—she’s only vocal when it comes to things in the sky! Birds, airplanes, or anything overhead might get a bark or two, but otherwise she’s calm and easygoing.Due to her previous owner moving into a senior care facility, Daisy is now in need of a new loving home. This transition hasn’t dimmed her sweet nature—she’s still as affectionate and loyal as ever.Daisy would thrive in a home with a yard where she can stretch her legs, relax in the sunshine, and keep a watchful (but mellow) eye on her surroundings. She’s looking for someone who will give her the love, stability, and care she deserves.If you’re searching for a kind-hearted, gentle companion to share your home and heart, Daisy may be the perfect match.

Story

Blue is a wonderful pup. He loves love, snuggles, kisses and play time. We got him from my daughter who couldn't take care of him in her small place and having a new born. Blue loves the baby always giving him kisses. We do not have the time to fully train or play with him as he deserves. He is fully potty trained. Knows how to use doggy door. He is a gentle giant. I want him to go to someone who can give him all these things and love him as he so deserves. He is a pitty mix not sure with what. Maybe lab. He is about 10 months. Not quite sure as he was abandoned as a puppy.
