Story
Sasha is a lover girl. She just loves people and people love her right back. She just turned 11 years old, but is still an energetic gal. She is very smart and food motivated. She knows sit, dance, and spin, and loves to do them all in a row on command for a treat! She will just follow you everywhere and use every opportunity to get a belly rub. We do have a cat, and she ignores him. She will definitely overeat if allowed, but you can use this food motivation to teach her new tricks. Our kids loved to set up obstacle courses for her in the yard when she was younger. She can be dog reactive on walks (related to leash pulling) but a harness helps, and so does simply crossing the street. We will miss Sasha, but are unable to take her when we move.

Story
This is D or Deezer, he will 11 years old in October. Our landlord decided to sell and we had to move quickly and our new landlord will not allow dogs. He has never damaged anything in the house but he will tear through dog toys pretty quickly. He is a sweetheart and loves to cuddle with you and a blanket. He is your shadow and will move when you move. He loves the water and being outside. He is fine on a leash but does not like when bikes pass by quickly, i would typically just step to the side when bikes came by and had him sit. I have two kids and he did great with both. I would have to put him outside if the boys were playing with balls or getting rowdy because he would get hyper and start to jump on the kiddos. Other than that the was fine. I will say if your house is calm he is very calm, if your house is chaotic he may get more hyper and jump. He could be in the front yard without a leash and would stay close by. He would only run if he was distracted by something.

Story
Aki is an almost 8-year-old Spitz mix looking for her perfect retirement home! I originally took Aki in as a temporary foster when her owner experienced a major life change and was no longer able to take her back. He has since asked me to help find Aki (and her friends) loving forever homes where they can spend their golden years surrounded by love.Aki has a history of doing well with children, other dogs, and strangers. She has not been tested with cats. She is house-trained, crate-trained, and settles well into home life.What truly makes Aki special is her affectionate personality. She absolutely adores people and is happiest when she’s close to her humans, whether that’s cuddling on the couch, following you around the house, or simply soaking up attention. If you’re looking for a dog that loves to love, Aki is your girl!She also enjoys spending time outdoors and would thrive in a home that can give her both companionship and opportunities to enjoy the fresh air.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Jameson is a good boy, but we can't take him with us when we relocate across country. He is very calm and quiet, except for when he hears a firetruck. In that case, he loves to howl along. He has anxiety when he hears fireworks, but dog CBD helps. He knows basic commands, but has never been great on walks because he can be dog reactive. A harness helps. He loves to show people his toys. He doesn't really tear them up, he's very gentle with them. If he can't find a toy to show you, he'll pick up a leaf or rock to show you. He's good with kids and loves to snuggle. He loves to lay at your feet, curled up and cozy. He will be deeply missed by our family.

Story
Murphy is a good dog with a good heart. He’s gentle but still energetic. He loves squeaky balls and tennis balls. Murphy does have some skin issues. We are fairly certain it’s allergies but having young kids we cannot do food trials successfully. This is the main reason we are looking for a better home for him. I’m happy to answer any questions about him. We just want a good home for him where he is well loved and hopefully someone who can help him better manage his allergies.

Story
We adopted Dunkin when he was about 3 months old from the Weld County Humaine Society. He has a goofy and playful personality, and would be happy with a backyard and another furry friend. He has only known living in an apartment, and LOVES to be outside!He is 4 years old, kennel trained, and has a loving, easy-going temperment. He loves ALL people as well as other dogs- he was routinely socialized with other dogs at parks as a puppy, and has never had any aggressive or concerning behaviors with any dog. He would do very well with other dogs in the home!Dunkin has a seizure once every 5-6 weeks. He snaps out of it quick and goes right back to his sweet self! He takes medication twice a day for it. We will be more than happy to educate his next owner on the ins and outs!We are looking for a loving home with enough space for him to run and play, possibly another furry friend at home, and caring people who can tend to his epilepsy.Please message with any questions!
