Story

Come visit with Koda! This pocket pittie is absolutely adorable.2 years oldApprox 40 lbsNeutered male He will need to learn some house manners most likely but does know how to sit! He is also crate trained and loves everyone Koda and Puka, despite having never met before, have formed an extraordinary bond that speaks volumes about their resilience and spirit. They narrowly escaped a tragic fate at an Arkansas shelter, where they were just hours away from being euthanized. These two remarkable dogs are not only affectionate and friendly but also get along well with cats, showcasing their gentle nature. It is heartbreaking to think that they were almost lost simply because someone chose to abandon them. The impact these dogs have had on everyone they’ve encountered is profound, from the transporters to their current temporary foster. We are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to care for Koda and Puka, but now they need your support to find a loving forever home. Would you consider helping them secure the love and kindness they truly deserve?

Story

Have you met Onyx? This lovable boy was once abandoned, but rescued from a reservation 4 years ago! Now, he's in need of a new home as his current adopters face housing challenges. Can you provide a forever home? Onyx is a social pet who has lived harmoniously with other dogs and cats. While he's familiar with older kids, his compatibility with younger ones is unknown. Onyx is well-behaved and house-trained; however, his small bladder requires more frequent potty breaks. A true rez dog, he comes with his own set of quirks. Affectionately known as "The Weatherman", he's always checking the skies for storm clouds to determine his outside time. And when he is out, a secure fence is necessary to keep him from exploring the neighborhood. With an unknown history, there are hints of a difficult past. Loud sounds like thunder and fireworks frighten him, necessitating a sturdy crate or calming aids. If you're searching for a sweet boy who literally wears his heart on his chest, meet Onyx today! You can't help but love the guy! ##1095961##

Story

Meet Penelope (aka Penny) 3-year-old Border Collie mix | Spayed Female Penelope, lovingly called Penny, is a smart, loyal, and people-loving girl who is looking for a fresh start in a home that’s a good fit for her needs. Penny adores people and has never met a stranger she didn’t want to be friends with (though men wearing hats may earn a few cautious barks at first ). She is housebroken, crate trained, leash trained, and does wonderfully staying home alone during the day. At night, she happily settles into her crate and sleeps soundly. She rides well in the car, listens when redirected, and is described as very obedient and eager to please. Penny has lived indoors and truly thrives as a companion dog who is included in daily life. With kids, Penny is affectionate and friendly, but because she’s a bigger, enthusiastic girl, she does best with older or dog-savvy children who can respect her space and energy. She may be a bit pushy with smaller kids if not supervised. Penny generally does well with other dogs, but after a recent stressful incident with a smaller, persistently growly dog, it’s clear she would do best in a home with careful dog introductions or possibly as the only dog. She can be redirected from chasing cats and listens well, but a cat-savvy home would be ideal. The good stuff: Fully vetted & spayed House & crate trained Loves people Obedient and responsive Healthy and well cared for Penny’s current family is even willing to foster her while she waits for the right forever home — a testament to how loved she is. If you’re looking for a devoted, intelligent companion who just needs the right environment to shine, Penny might be your girl Apply to adopt Penelope here:https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=1707539&name=Penelope+ ##1707539##

Story

PLEASE SHARE FOR A HOME – Located in Hesperus, CO Frick is trying so hard. This sweet one-year-old Border Collie mix wants love and kindness more than anything. Part of her longs to trust… but her past taught her to survive instead. She’s spent her life defending herself from other animals and from people—never knowing a soft couch, gentle hands, or what it feels like to truly be safe. After coming to Denkai Animal Sanctuary from a hoarding situation, Frick is beginning to learn a new way of living—one where she is cared for, protected, and loved. Every day, she takes brave little steps forward. Every day, she shows us just how much potential she has. Frick will do best with a patient, compassionate adopter or foster who understands shy dogs and is willing to continue her socialization at her pace. With consistency, kindness, and time, this girl is going to blossom into an incredibly loyal companion. If you can be the one to show Frick that the world can be safe and loving, she’s ready to meet you. Apply to adopt or foster atwww.denkaisanctuary.org/adopt One kind home can change everything. Please share to help Frick find hers. ##2612040##
