Story
Dogs?: Yes, please!Kids?: Older kids preferred! Age: 1 year and 11 months oldWeight: 59 poundsAbout Me: Hi, I`m Indie! I`m a bit timid when meeting new people, but really open up when I get to spend time with other dogs! I`ve made many dog friends at the shelter and am my happiest (and goofiest!) self when running around the yards with them. If you`re looking for a dedicated companion for yourself and a silly best friend for your dog, I might just be the one for you!If interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website by following https://www.ark-valley.org/adoption-matchmaker-application/. We recommend calling the shelter at 719-395-2737 after you submit your application to ensure that we have received it. You can also give us a call if you have any questions or would like to learn more about a specific animal. Walk-ins are welcome during our open hours Monday-Saturday 12-5pm, although an adoptable animal may be in a foster home instead of at the shelter, so we also recommend calling us prior to driving to the shelter to confirm the pet`s current location. If you prefer emailing instead, you can reach our staff at to info@ark-valley.org, however, time sensitive matters would be addressed quicker via phone.Note: We do not DNA test our animals to determine breeds. The listed breed(s) are either an educated guess from staff based on physical characteristics, or from information given by their previous home.

Story
Age: 1 year 11 monthsWeight: 60 lbsDogs? Possibly! I get really excited and fixated on meeting other dogs. Another dog may also help me warm up to my new surroundings.Kids? Possibly! Due to his shy nature, he would do best in a home with older kids that will not smother him and give him space. About Me: Hey there! My name is Jake! I`m a sweet guy who loves running around outside and enjoying the great outdoors! I`m pretty smart and would succeed with someone who sets clear expectations for me. I can be shy with strangers, so you may need to meet me multiple times before being able to take me home. If you have the patience to let me warm up, I promise I will be an amazing companion! Come to the shelter and meet me today!If interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website by following https://www.ark-valley.org/adoption-matchmaker-application/.
