Story
Sage was born in July 13th, 2020. We brought her home when she was only 2mo old and has been living with us since. She is full of energy, happy, love company, snuggles, play fetch, run in the yard, and just be around people (she LOVES visits). She is very food-motivated, and responds mostly well to positive reinforcement. She enjoys her bed and being tucked in at night. She would thrive in a home that can offer structure, engagement, and consistency. She does best as the only dog in the house, as she is reactive around other dogs. She has lived with a cat since we have her and coexists well. As our family has grown and we now have a toddler, we’ve made the very difficult decision to find a home better suited to her needs and stimulation levels. I also run a in home daycare, and can't give her the attention and love that she needs. We are looking for an adult-only or older-children home, ideally with breed experience, that can provide patience, stability, and lots of love.

Story
Lola is an energetic, playful, and sweet 3-year-old pitbull. She loves attention, chewing on her toys, going for walks, and running in the grass. Lola is very smart and eager to please. She recently completed a basic obedience training program with a local dog trainer. She has learned basic commands very quickly and is still mastering "heel", "place", and is even learning how to dry her mouth after she drinks water! She is crate trained and housetrained. We adopted Lola from the shelter around Halloween 2025. After bringing her home, we realized that she has a specific set of needs that we cannot fulfill right now. She is reactive around other dogs/animals so she needs to be the only pet in the house. She also needs her own secure yard so she can expend her energy and have plenty of enrichment. We do not know much about Lola's past before we adopted her. However, we do know that this sweet girl deserves a forever home that fits all of her needs. Lola would love to meet you!

Story
We have a healthy, beautiful 1yr old husky/malamute mix who we adopted at 10-wks. We already had two 9-yr-old small dogs and thought that her growing up with them would be fine. We’ve had Kodi for a year now and she is the sweetest, cutest, most loving, and smart dog however her natural prey drive is instinctively too much for our little dogs and cat. So I would say she’s not a good fit for any families with small animals, but great for a family with kids or big dogs. She is a sweet and playful dog, LOVES playtime with my kids, and loves her toys, but she doesn’t get enough exercise due to our work and kid sport schedules. The decision to re-home breaks our hearts, but she is just not a fit for our family right now - it’s unfair to her that we don’t have the time to devote to her due to work and kid sports, and also unfair to our old little dogs. Needs a fam with time to devote and a yard. House trained, kennel trained, vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and about full grown at 50 lb

Story
Please Read entire post before contacting: Zarro (Black, intact, ICCF, dob: 6/18/20) Zarro is from BR, LA. I bought him at 8 weeks old. He is amazing with people and kids of all ages including babies, He is good one on one with dogs But needs to be fixed as he will try to mount any dog. I’ve trained him since the moment I got him and knows a lot of commands but temperament wise he is very hard headed. He needs a strong leader to correct him. He has never been destructive a day in his life. He will never use the bathroom in the house. Zarro has a very strict diet as he is allergic to ALOT of foods and ingredients in dog food. He absolutely cannot have dog food. he is on a raw diet which contains turkey, pork, and beef products. His Food costs come out to be around 300-400$ a month, so please take this into consideration. He is on daily meds as well right now for the next month along with exercise restriction due to finishing up heart worm treatment

Story
Adoption Fee: $475 When available, all animals are fixed in accordance with Colorado law, up to date on vaccines (may need boosters), and microchipped! What we know: 3 siblings transferred at approximately 1 year, 3 months old from Finney County Humane Society in Kansas (1M, 2F). Siblings were surrendered to the KS shelter in March 2025 and had still not been adopted through them by January 2026. They were set to be euthanized due to length of stay and were tagged to come to CPR the following day. From the foster: Meet Peppermint Patty! Like the eponymous cartoon character, she's a spunky, freckle-faced girl who is doggedly loyal. After nearly a year in a shelter, Patty is quickly adjusting to life with a family. She's good with other dogs and good with kids, but she would do best with kids who are stable on their feet because she's still exploring the world paws-first. She's making progress with potty training. She sleeps all night in her crate. She's not sure about the leash yet, and needs to wear a harness so she doesn't slip out of her collar when on the leash. She has learned how to use the doggy door, and she needs a home with a fenced yard so she can go out and play throughout the day. If you're looking for a sweet and loyal companion, come meet Patty this Saturday. www.coloradopuppy.org/how-to-adopt

Story
Adoption Fee: $475 When available, all animals are fixed in accordance with Colorado law, up to date on vaccines (may need boosters), and microchipped! What we know: Transferred from Humane Society of Pikes Peak where the litter was surrendered with mom; the mom was not a transfer candidate due to aggression and the puppies were on the euthanasia list. Litter of 8, 5 female / 3 male, approximately four weeks old at time of transfer. From the foster: Meet Basil — the freshest little topping from our Pizza Topping Litter! This darling girl is the perfect blend of sweet and spirited. She absolutely loves to snuggle - whether curling up in your lap for a cozy movie night or sneaking in a quick cuddle between play sessions. Basil is also confident enough to explore her surroundings, chase a toy or two and then trot back for a quick “check-in” kiss. She’s got the perfect pizza balance: a little saucy, wonderfully sweet, and impossible to resist. Basil is ready to top off your life with love, laughter and plenty of puppy kisses. If you are looking to add a little extra flavor to your family, Basil is ready to be delivered straight to your heart! www.coloradopuppy.org/how-to-adopt
