Story
Papi is a 1-year-old, West Highland Terrier mix with a gentle soul and a seriously snuggly side. This little guy doesn’t just cuddle—he commits to it, twisting himself into the closest possible position so he can be right up against his person. Once he bonds, he’s your quiet little shadow, happily following you from room to room. He’s a calm and easy presence in the home, rarely barking and content to just be near you. Papi is crate trained, settles in well at night, and makes mornings extra special with his over-the-top happy reunions. He’s doing great with house training, with only a couple of minor accidents reported. Out and about, Papi shows his playful side—he loves a good game of chase at the dog park and would likely enjoy a playful canine companion, especially one who can help show him the ropes. He’s respectful with smaller dogs but seems to enjoy running with the bigger crowd. Walks are still a work in progress, and he gains confidence on trails or when he has a dog buddy to follow. Papi can be a little reserved with new people and appreciates a patient, gentle approach as he warms up. Once he trusts you, though, he’s incredibly affectionate and devoted. He’s also got a soft, nurturing streak—his favorite toy (a stuffed buffalo) goes everywhere with him, and he’s even been known to “protect” it from the sprinkler. He’s not especially food motivated—Papi much prefers love and attention over treats—and he’s a moderate chewer who, so far, sticks to appropriate items. Oh, and socks? If you’re missing a few, Papi might just have started a collection in the yard. Papi is a sweet, sensitive boy looking for a loving home where he can continue to build confidence, stay close to his people, and enjoy all the snuggles his heart desires. Papi is 15 lbs. Papi is being fostered in Boulder, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs.* You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/papi/.

Story
Stormy is the cutest little low rider diva princess pocket pittie (only 37 lbs!) around! This girl is 4-6 years old, yet she’s spunky and packed full of personality! Stormy loves life! She loves the human in it and seems to like most dogs, too! Stormy joined MHCR as a transfer from a high-volume shelter in Houston. We couldn’t believe her adorable melon head needed our help, but we are so glad we could save her! She was glad to leave Texas as she is quite allergic to their fleas. With a good, medicated bath, some Zyrtec, and cleaning out her ears, she is feeling soooooo much better. Her coat is filling in, too! She is a healthy girl now and is ready to find her forever home. Stormy walks decently on leash, is crate trained, and seems housetrained. She requests humans that are home often, allow furniture privileges, a yard or deck for sunbathing, and humans that have plenty of kisses, snuggles, and belly rubs. Balls are Stormy’s absolute favorite toys on earth. So, it would helpful if her forever humans had a strong arm so they could throw the ball for her, a lot. Stormy will be best suited in a feline free home. Stormy is in foster in Fort Collins, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/stormy You can apply for our wonderful dogs at https://www.milehighcanine.org/adopt/adoption-application/.

Story
Meet Tim: part Chihuahua, part housecat, part mysterious woodland creature. At 6 pounds and approximately 6 years old, Tim is a delicate little gentleman with some opinions about…well, some things. By day, he is a quiet shadow, closely trailing his chosen human like a tiny, insecure bodyguard who prefers observation over interaction. Petting? Maybe. Picking him up? Absolutely not—Tim believes in consent and will file a formal complaint (with teeth) if his boundaries are ignored. But by night? Oh, Tim transforms. The elusive daytime creature becomes a full-blown cuddle bug, burrowing deep under the covers to snuggle up like a warm potato. Couch time paired with a sweet treat (ice cream and yogurt are faves) are his absolute love language. He morphs into a very brave and forward little dude who will climb up your body for a taste. Tim enjoys the finer things in life: sunbathing, quiet yard explorations, and politely coexisting with cats and even free-range chickens. He’s house-trained, trustworthy when left to roam, and takes his role as Neighborhood Alert System very seriously. Tim is also a world-renowned cheese connoisseur. When you come home, Tim will perform his signature move: a lightning-fast couch exit, a quick “hello,” maybe some zoomies, and then poof—back to safety. If you’re very lucky, you may be granted a brief chin scratch audience. Tim is looking for a calm, understanding home—ideally with humans who root for the underdog and don’t mind that their dog is actually more of a cat in a tiny dog suit. Patience, respect, and a good sense of humor required. Tim is in foster in Mead, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/tim You can apply for our wonderful dogs at https://www.milehighcanine.org/adopt/adoption-application/.

Meet Mel — a sunshine-colored spark plug with a heart full of love and paws full of zoomies! This adorable 3–4 month old, heeler mix is equal parts brains, beauty, and bounce. Mel is crazy smart and already crushing home manners and crate training like the little superstar she is. She’s always ready for adventure, whether that means chasing toys, collecting tennis balls, or racing around the yard at top speed with her signature puppy joy. But don’t let the playful energy fool you — once the fun is done, Mel is all about the snuggles. She loves cuddling up and soaking in affection from her favorite people. She’s dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and ready to be everyone’s new best friend.

Story
Meet your new oversized shadow with a heart of gold 💛 This 4-5 year-old English Mastiff is basically a real-life version of The Beast—big, lovable, and way less intimidating once you get to know him. At a petite 180 lbs, he firmly believes he’s a lap dog. He does great with both kids and adults. He loves to lean into his pets (all 180 pounds of him), and if you dare to stop, he’ll gently place a paw on you as a polite reminder to keep going. He’s a social guy who gets along well with dogs of all sizes, from tiny sidekicks to fellow giants. And while he may look like he could run a marathon, he actually tires out pretty quickly so expect short bursts of play followed by legendary naps. He’s an enthusiastic passenger for any and all car rides, too! A few bonus features: Drools like a champion (seriously, keep a towel handy) Gives world-class cuddles Doubles as a weighted blanket If you’re looking for a gentle giant who will adore your family, charm your friends, and leave a little drool trail of love wherever he goes, this is your guy. Barnaby is being fostered in Broomfield, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs.* You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/barnaby/.

Dachshund

Story
Hershey is a 1–2 year old Dachshund mix with a big personality. This spunky little girl is full of energy and loves being close to her people—wherever you are, that’s exactly where she wants to be. She’s doing wonderfully with house training and is making great progress learning the ropes on a leash. Hershey is crate trained, settles in nicely, and has proven to be non-destructive in her foster home. Hershey is mostly indifferent to cats and can coexist just fine. With other dogs, she’s still learning that she doesn’t always have to keep her favorite human all to herself. She can get a little possessive of attention, but she’s improving with consistency and guidance. Because of this, she could thrive either as an only dog soaking up all the love, or in a home with another dog (and humans) that understands her need for boundaries and a little reassurance. Hershey is a fun, affectionate companion who will keep you smiling with her lively spirit and devotion. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick who wants nothing more than to be your little shadow, Hershey is ready to fill that role perfectly. Hershey is in foster in Mead, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/hershey You can apply for our wonderful dogs at https://www.milehighcanine.org/adopt/adoption-application/.
