Story
Junie is a sweet, fully potty trained, and well behaved 3-year old female Colorado Mountain Dog! She loves people, of all ages (especially kids), and other canine playmates. She needs a loving and patient home with a fair amount of land so she can run, and preferably have a job. She loves the ranch life and gets along with others, but I moved from the ranching life. She needs more room than I have and I'd love to see her thrive in a family who can give her what she needs. She is quiet, unless there is something outside at night. She loves toys, bones, treats, and the occasional dropped food scraps. She is very silly and always brings humor to the day! She will only sleep in a dog bed and has done so since she was a puppy. I never knew why; I think the previous owner/breeder taught her this. She needs to run to be the best behaved dog. If she doesn't, she'll have some behavior issues. She knows vocal commands, on-leash and off. Please reach out with questions.

Story
I have had my boy Leon for 4.5 yrs. He will be 5 this April. Currently he does have some skin issues, not sure exactly what but right now he is missing some fur and I think has some sort of ear mites. Along with some rashes.I have done my best to treat them but at the moment not much seems to be helping him.He had parvo as a puppy and due to this he has a more sensitive tummy.And will not put any more weight than approx 50 lbs. He is an extremely good road trip dog. Loves walks but could use some more training. He is fine with most dogs. Does not do well with cats or horses. He has been having some reactive issues with people within the last year and needs a patient person willing to help him with those. He is a huge snuggler and definitely a velcro dog and will follow you everywhere.Very much a big baby. He is good at vocalizing his needs. He loves to be babied.

Doberman Pinscher Great Pyrenees

Story
Alini is a very sweet girl who loves cuddling on the bed and taking long walks! She is dog reactive unfortunately and does not get along well with our other dog. She would be best suited to be with someone who can be home with her throughout the day and can give her frequent runs and walks. A single dog home would be the best fit for her as well.

Sadie

Catahoula Leopard Dog Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult
Loveland, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details

Story
Sadie is a very sweet cuddly approximately 5 years old lab mix. She is good with other dogs & has been good with cats in the past. She is spayed and fully potty trained. She does take anxiety medication (fluoxetine) which would need to be refilled monthly (approx $20). She struggles with separation anxiety, and needs an adopter who can work through this with her and has patience in understanding she needs time to feel safe in a new space. Sadie is great with meeting new people and she loves going for walks. I think she would make an excellent running/ hiking partner.

Kona

Boxer

Female, Young
Loveland, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is one of the hardest things had to write, but Kona deserves the absolute best life possible. Kona is a beautiful boxer mix who will be 3 years old this May. She is full of love, joy, and personality, and she has the biggest heart. She forms strong bonds with her people and truly just wants to be close to those she loves. She is a high-energy girl who needs space to run, play, and be herself, so a home with a backyard is very important for her. Kona would do best as the only pet where she can soak up all the love and attention, though a calm, small dog may be okay with the right match and slow introduction - currently has a 1 yr old frenchie brother. She is house trained and crate trained. She would thrive in a home with a family or individual who is home most of the time and can give her the time, exercise, and companionship she needs. Kona is loyal, people-focused, and wants nothing more than to be someone’s constant companion.

Labrador Retriever

Story
Kingston is a pure bred chocolate lab. He was born 6/2024. We adopted him at 7 weeks old and brought him home to incorporate him into our existing pack. He is very loving and SUPER smart! House trained, kennel trained, walks well on a leash, basket muzzle trained. He loves to play fetch! As Kingston got older we started to notice food/resource guarding. We don't keep any food out, and he eats separately from our other pets. He has shown aggression to our other dogs (has a bite history with other dogs). He has never shown any aggression towards people, although he can be shy around new people. He has been neutered, we have done behavior consults and unfortunately for the safety of the rest of our dogs we need to find him a new home. He needs an experienced dog owner. He ABSOLUTELY needs to be the only dog in the home. He would be a risk to other pets in the household. We really want to find him a home. From our research, our other options are very bleak.
