Story

Our sweet Daisy girl is the most loyal pup. Shes energetic, talkative, loyal, sweet, affectionate and loving. Shes energetic has her quirks but is simply such a good dog. We’ve had some issues in the recent years of her going after our other senior dog and now with a 10 month old baby on the move she has shown some stress behaviors. Daisy’s ideal house would be a single female who wants a dog to go on adventures with and enjoy her last half of her life. She has trust issues with men as I adopted her when she was out running the streets in Texas. A household with no other dog or young kids and someone who is willing to go on nice long walks with her everyday. She loves affection but isn’t huge on snuggles. She has food aggression, and is reactive to other dogs especially on leash. She wasn’t always this way but was attacked by another dog 5 years ago and things changed in her brain a little bit.She will need a home willing to work with her and show her all the love and care she deserves

Story

Dog for Rehome – Great Pyrenees Mix Meet COLT, a sweet, loyal Great Pyrenees mix looking for his forever one- or two-person home. He is 7 years old, calm, and has a gentle “Eeyore” personality – happy but laid-back. He loves lounging indoors and spending short time in the backyard. He is protective and barks to alert but is not a high-energy dog. He has been a perfect “one-man” dog for the past 7 years. He does best in a quiet adult-only home without other pets, kids, or frequent guests. He gets nervous and barks around new people or babies, so he needs a calm, predictable household where he can be the center of attention again. Not good on leash; prefers being a house dog. Up-to-date on vaccines and microchipped. If you have a peaceful home and can give him the devoted attention he thrives on, Colt will be your loyal companion for life. Serious inquiries only. Please include a bit about your home and experience with large breeds. Adoption fee applies.

Special Needs

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.

Diesel

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

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

Details

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

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.
