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.

NEEDS TO BE REHOMED WITH ZARRO(male 5yrs cane corso) Stella (F, Fixed, ICCF, dob: 9/3/20) Stella is basically a teddy bear trapped in a dogs body, She’s a lover girl and can never get enough attention. I got stella right before her second birthday in 2022 out of detroit. She didn’t know any commands, but She is a people pleaser which is why she was so easy to train. She is amazing with people and children. She is good with other dogs as well! She is alpha though and has been in another fight with a female dog I use to have (when she was in heat 2023). She’s had two litters one in 2022 one in 2023. I recently got her fixed in january as i didn’t want her to have any more litters. She was an amazing mom to her pups and even raised other litter as her own. She has a very sweet temperament and the best personality. She is not destructive if she has toys to play with. She’s never been destructive to any furniture or beds or anything like that. She currently is on Kirkland brand kibble.

Story
Please Read entire post before contacting: This male needs to be rehomed with my female Stella.. she is also a corso and 5 yrs old 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 not good with other dogs as he was attacked at a dog park at 5 months old and has fear based aggression. 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. Please Look at Stella’s profile as well

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.

Story
Adam was born on June 15, 2021. He is a Chihuahua mix who was adopted from Trevor Animal Rescue in 2023. He is neutered and fully up to date on all vaccinations. Adam does wonderfully with children of all ages and loves going on walks. While he can be a bit intimidated by larger dogs, he plays well with smaller dogs and gets along with cats. He is fully house-trained and enjoys cuddling and snuggling. Due to an upcoming change in my career, I will no longer be able to be home as much as I am now. With limited time to give him the attention he deserves, I am making this incredibly difficult decision in Adams best interest, so he can continue to receive the love, care, and companionship every pet deserves.

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: Local owner surrender of two dogs, 1M 1F. Owners could no longer care for them. Came with the name Goliath but does not seem to answer to it. Aged about 11 months old. Reportedly good with cats, dogs, and kids. From the foster: This sweet 11-month-old, 29-lb pup has the soul of a little old man tucked inside a young dog’s body. With his thoughtful eyes and gentle demeanor, he’s the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart. He can be a bit timid around men at first, but once he feels safe, he bonds deeply and tends to choose his person. He loves being near his human and is happiest curling up beside them for a cozy nap. He’s a low-energy guy — happy to go on walks and explore, but just as content to relax at home. He does great on a leash and hasn’t had any accidents in the house. While he doesn’t know formal commands yet, he’s incredibly smart and eager to learn — he’ll pick things up quickly with gentle guidance. He especially loves hard and teething toys and will happily entertain himself chewing away. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and even cats, making him an easy fit for a multi-pet home. With patience, consistency, and love, he’s going to make an incredibly loyal companion. ✨ Bonus: His birthday is January 26, so his adopter gets to celebrate his very first birthday with him — the perfect excuse for a pup party and extra treats! www.coloradopuppy.org/how-to-adopt
