Story
*Courtesey Post! Archie is not under ownership of the Pet Association - he currenty resides with Elena's Barking Lot. This post is made in hopes of boosting exposure and helping find Archie a home. You may contact the Pet Association for details but adoption will go through Elena* Archie (Archibald Calif) is a friendly, resilient dog born August 12, 2024. He was rescued from the California fires after losing his home and family and was brought to Salt Lake City with help from Rocky Mountain K9. His foster mom trained him well, including weekly school sessions. Archie is smart, affectionate, playful, and eager to please. He's great with other dogs as well as kids! He knows how to sit and give paw, walks/runs well on a leash, can jump small obstacles, loves fetch, hiking, and exploring, and especially enjoys cuddling. He is kennel trained, neutered, food motivated, and low-maintenance for grooming. He is currently in Estes Park, Colorado, waiting for his forever home. Adoption     •    Fee: $150     •    Includes 30 daycare visits, 2 grooming appointments, his favorite ball, slow-feeding bowl, and a bag of food.     •    If the adoption doesn't work out, Archie must be returned to Elena's Barking Lot rather than taken to a shelter; 50% of the adoption fee will be refunded. Overall: Archie is a loving, active, well-trained dog who has overcome a difficult start and is looking for a stable, permanent family that enjoys both adventure and cuddles.

Story
*Heartworm Positive* Hi, I'm Sadie. I was unfortunately diagnosed with Heartworm disease and have started my treatment. I'll need someone patient and kind to help me through this. I was found running the streets in NM and taken in as a stray. I'm a shy girl, which is understandable considering my rough start in life. I'm just 2 years old and a Chihuahua mix or some sorts! I'm only 21lbs so I'm the perfect size to snuggle in your lap. I've been doing well in my foster home and am good with other dogs and cats. I'm housetrained, crate trained, and ready to start my new life. Come meet me!

Story
Hi, I’m Nico! I’m almost a year old pittie/lab mix, and I’m looking for my forever family. I’m a happy, loving boy who absolutely loves people and does great with other dogs. I’m likely good with kids and cats too, but of course I’d need to meet them to make sure we’re a good match. I’m neutered, vaccinated, and ready to go home. All I’m missing is my forever family. From his foster: THIS is a great dog if you’re looking for a big boy that has perfect manners and temperament, here’s your guy. Vet thinks he’s less than a year old. Nico looks like a lab/pittie mix. The head is a pittie giveaway but the rest of him screams lab. Slender and tall with a rich black coat. Nico is living with three other dogs (four before yesterday) and is the perfect playmate. He adores foster puppy, Buster. In fact if you want two dogs these two are so much fun. Little Buster is fearless and Nico is a big marshmallow. Nico is house trained and has done well in his crate which I think is new to him He so wants to please. In fact, when he is behind the dog gate which he could push down or jump over without a thought, he waits patiently for me to open it. Oh and he walks great on lead and is not reactive. Nico was picked up as a stray but I can tell- this dog has known love. He’s the best boy. Could you be the one I’ve been waiting for?

Story
Chance is a 10 year old, neutered male, chipped, we are his third home, and a bonded pair with Cassidy, a soft-coated Wheaten Terrier. Great leash walker, not great with crates, he is itty bitty (~5lbs) and made a great emotional support pet for our children who have since grown and moved out. Great with kids, cats, and loves to be carried around! Cassidy, She is 12 years old, female, spayed, chipped and was purchased from a breeder. She is great on a leash, crate trained, knows come, sit, down but we have not been able to house break her unless she is confined to a specific area. She loves other dogs and kids though she can be excitable at first and might knock down little ones. Cassidy isn't a great match if you have free range chickens.

Story
Meet Shadow!Hi, I’m Shadow! I’m a fun, playful, and affectionate guy who loves toys, walks and car rides. I love sleeping with you in bed and getting lots of attention. I’ve lived successfully with other dogs, but I also really enjoy one-on-one time with my people and being all yours to love. Shadow is required to go to a home without children under 12 due to a history of guarding high-value items and sensitivity to restraint or handling. He may grumble or vocalize when uncomfortable, so he’ll need a patient home that can respect his boundaries and continue positive training. Shadow also pulls very hard on leash and will need continued leash training. A front-clip harness or similar equipment may help while he learns. He can be vocal when seeking attention and may bark at other dogs, so a calm, structured environment will help him succeed. An in-shelter meet and greet with any dogs in the home is required to make sure everyone is a good match. If you’re looking for a loving, energetic companion who wants to be your best buddy, Shadow can’t wait to meet you!
