Story
Cabo is 10 years old as of July 2025. We adopted him as a puppy at 8 weeks through a dog adoption center in Fort Collins, CO. He has been an incredible dog over the years and so lovable and playful. He is around 13 pounds a mix between a Bichon and Poodle, so he does not shed. He LOVES his ball and loves to play catch with it. He also sleeps with it and carries it around the house wherever he goes. We have two girls and he has always been very protective of them and his family. He is great with the girls and very loving, however with guests, he doesnt know, it takes him a little while to warm up to them. With the girls having more and more playdates, its hard for us to bring Cabo around as he is very protective of his sisters. Hes never bitten and only barks, but it scared the other kids so we end up having to put him in a room while others are over.

Story
Meet Hank. Hank is an energetic, outdoors-loving dog who is about six years old. He's affectionate, enjoys giving kisses, and loves to wrestle and play. Hank does best in a calm, structured environment. We originally adopted Hank from a Humane Colorado Shelter (formerly Dumb Friends League) and are now looking for a safe and loving home that suits his needs. Hank just finished a great program with Misfits Dog Training! He’s learned to walk with better discipline and is getting along much better with other pets.

Story
Denver is an incredibly kind and loving dog. Always wanting to give love or get attention, he is a real sweetheart and wants to please his human no matter what. He is house trained, up to date on his shots, and great with kids. He is friendly towards other dogs once he gets to know them. He has anxiety and can get stressed out at times, but that is not the reason he needs another home. We unfortunately do not have the ability to provide for him or give him what he needs at this stage in his life. He is looking for a home that will love him as much as we have and give him a great family and environment. Let me know if you have any questions!

Story
🐾 Looking for a Loving New Home for Olive 🐾 This is Olive. She’s a 7-year-old sweetheart who has been part of my life for the last 5.5 years. Olive is a gentle, loyal dog who thrives in a calmer environment with room to run. She absolutely LOVES playing with other dogs and would be happiest in a home with a yard where she can stretch her legs and enjoy the outdoors. Olive is a wonderful companion, but she can get overwhelmed by very young children. When things get too rambunctious, her protective instincts kick in and she is not aggressive biting, but a clear sign that the chaos stresses her. Because of this, she would do best in a home without small kids, ideally with adults or older, dog-savvy teens. This decision has been incredibly hard. My life and living situation have changed, and I want to do what’s best for her. She deserves a space where she can be relaxed, confident, and happy. She really is such a good girl. Free adoption fee for the right family.

Story
We got buddy from a family in Indiana that fostered him and his brother from the same litter. He is a great dog, loves other dogs, cats, rabbits, kids and people. We previously lived on a farm in Indiana and he had plenty of room to run but we have relocated and are now in a neighborhood with a small yard that is not fenced. He is a blue-tick coonhound and definitely loves to be outside sniffing around. He would love a family that has a fenced yard for him to play in. He is housebroken, is up to date on all of his shots as of October, is neutered and is almost 6 years old.

Story
Cricket is a loving, sweet dog with a sometimes playful personality. She is 12 years old and has been having health issues. She has allergies that are best handled with quarterly allergy injections. She has a fungul infection that has been hard to get rid of even with bathing her in proper shampoos. She requires a good amount of attention. She is house trained but will have occasional accidents if left alone too long without going outside. We adopted her when more of our kids are at home. Our last two boys are busy in high school and we work. We have limited time to give to her and in addition she does require more attention due to some health issues. We do not have the time to properly care for her. It’s very hard to put her up for adoption but I know it is best. Will keep her as long as I need to until she can find a proper home.
