Story
We adopted Moose in August of 2021 from the Douglas County Canine Rescue. He was very easy to potty and house train. He never chews anything up or destroys furniture. Overall pretty well trained. He is very hesitant towards strangers coming into the house. This is a mostly a good thing because I feel very protected when home alone, however, it can make having friends over a bit of a challenge. He has never bitten anyone but he does bark and growl for a while when strangers come through the door and the hairs stand up on his back so he can look pretty aggressive and intimidating at times. But once he knows people he is such a lover! He also does great at the dog park! very friendly with all the dogs and people. He loves to run around and play. Overall he is a very loyal dog and very loving towards his family and friends. Loves snuggles and belly rubs. He also does great around our one year old daughter, but he has not had a ton of exposure to other kids.

Story
Tucker is a 4-year-old Akita pup who has brought so much love and laughter into our lives. He, snuggly, smart, and has sweet spot for adults and a deep bond with his people. He’s been through professional training, knows his basic commands, and thrives in a calm, structured environment with adults only. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we’ve had two close calls with our young child, including one instance where Tucker nipped and caused a minor scratch and bruise. With another baby on the way, we’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to rehome him to ensure everyone including him stay safe. Tuckers Ideal Home: Adults-only household (no kids now or in the future), Secure yard or rural property preferred, Someone experienced with dog behavior and positive training, Pet-free home or calm, compatible dog companion (case-by-case) We’re willing to help cover food, boarding, or vet costs for the right long-term foster or adoptive home. We are hopeful.

Story
Scout is a sweet and loving Brittany. He's high energy and loves being outside! Fetch is his favorite game. We have a 9 month old son and unfortunately no longer have the bandwidth to give Scout the attention and life he deserves. He has been an absolutely amazing dog and we are looking for a loving new owner who will show him kindness and adventure. Ideally, we'd love to find a home that offers a bit of land for Scout to run and get his energy out - that's when he's happiest!

This is an amazing dog. Very well behaved and well trained. He is potty trained. We took him in from a family who couldn’t take care of him. Our cats our stressed with him here and we are too busy for him. He needs a home with no pets and with owners that can give him frequent walks and back yard. He is an amazing dog.

Story
Fiona is a beautiful and smart eight year old Australian Shepherd. She is well-trained, super sweet and loves going on hikes, playing fetch, learning new tricks and overall just enjoys being outside. She is in great shape and like many Aussies, would benefit from a home and family that loves to be active and play :) She is amazing with kids and has a great, sweet temperament. Due to our son's dog allergy, we have made the very difficult decision to look for a new home for Fiona at the advice of our doctors. She is such a sweet dog and so loyal to her people, she will be such an amazing addition to the family that welcomes her in.

Story
Adoption Fee: $475 When available, all animals are fixed, up to date on vaccines (may need boosters), and microchipped! From the foster: Hi! I’m #379 but my fosters call me “Rizzo” because I’m a tough and tender lady. I’m a lovely 4 month old Shepherd mix, who is wise beyond my years. I’m incredibly smart. I figured out sit in the park with my foster dad in about 20 minutes. I have lots of Shepherd energy, and I need my daily exercise, but I also really like to relax. I kinda do my own thing. I’m shy and like to be around people I already know are safe. I’m not a life of the party type of puppy, but more the one you want to take on an adventure as a single person or maybe a young couple. I don’t really thrive in crowds. I’m plenty friendly, simply I get overwhelmed amongst too many humans. I like other dogs and a well behaved older sibling would expedite my training. I sleep through the night in my crate and am not very vocal, especially for a Shepherd. I haven’t chewed things I’m not supposed to, and I’m easily redirected. Potty training has been my biggest challenge but with some focus in my forever home it will be easy to pick up. My ideal home is with one or two people who will be “my people” who are willing to put in some time to turn me into a perfect dog. My litter mate and I survived parvo in our young months. That’s a sign I am not one to give up easily. No need to worry, I’m really healthy now and looking forward to my second chance at life. Are you my new best friend who will make that second chance worth it? www.coloradopuppy.org/how-to-adopt
