Story
Chewbacca is an 8 year old Bernadoodle and still has so much energy left to share his love with a new forever home! He loves the outdoors, playing tug of war and fetch. He has been around babies, small children, other dogs and cats all without any issues. He loves belly rubs and knowing you are home. He has never had any health related issues, but a resting tremor that he has had since he was a puppy and only visible when he stands in a certain position. He is good at the groomers and is usually a party favorite for his good nature. He would need his shots updated if you would like, but we have never had an issue so we haven’t had them updated.

Story
Sage became part of our family when she was only 2mo old and has been living with us since. She is a (crate trained) very happy girl, loves 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's also a great home protector. She would thrive in a home that can offer structure and engagement. 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 (and I run an in home daycare), we've made the very difficult decision to find a home better suited to her needs and stimulation levels and can 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
Still available: We have a healthy, beautiful 1yr old husky/malamute mix who we adopted at 10wks. We already had two 9yo 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, smart dog however her natural prey drive is instinctively too much for our little dogs and cat. So she’s not a good fit for families with small animals, but great for a fam with kids or big dogs. She’s 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 sched. The decision to re-home breaks our hearts, but she’s just not a fit for our fam right now - it’s unfair to her that we don’t have the time to devote, and also unfair to our old lil 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. Kennel, bed, toys, bowls, harness/leash, will be provided.

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: Transferred from Irving Animal Services, Irving, Texas, at approximately 5 years old, fixed, fully vaccinated. Original owner, when in quickly failing health, feared her animals ending up in neglectful situations, attempted to end all of their lives and her own by gunshot, Lady survived a gunshot wound to the head. She was treated and made a full recovery. From the foster: We have now been blessed to have Lady in our home for 4 days. She is quiet, timid, and very sweet. She doesn’t play with toys and is a little picky about both treats and food. She is an absolute joy to have in our house. Not knowing anything about her first 5 years of life, we are learning about her each day. She picked up on our dog door on day one and simply goes outside when she needs to potty. No accidents in the house. She gets along with our dogs just fine but really hasn’t shown any interest in playing with them yet. Our two dogs are both 8-10 years old and don’t have any interest in playing. They simply co-exist. She is happy to be wherever her humans are at. I take her to work with me each day and she is basically with me 24/7. She has become very attached to me in this short time and will become attached to her new family quite quickly too. Because of our older dog sleeping with us already, she has adapted to a kennel at night very well. However, she is only in a kennel because of our dog in bed. We think she would LOVE to sleep at the foot of our bed or maybe in our bed. Again, she wants to be with her humans all the time. She knows basic commands like sit and even shake if you catch her being playful. She loves when I grab her leash and needs some training being on a leash as she pulls a little bit. She has a sweet playful jump sometimes and gets excited to see you if you disappear for even a minute. Her eyes are beautiful and she looks at us with such love in her eyes. She will make one lucky family a sweet loyal friend for many years to come. Do you deserve to be that family? If you think you do, please come meet her. www.coloradopuppy.org/how-to-adopt
