Story
Ghost is an energetic ball of fun! He’s super sweet, I’ve had him since he was a puppy. He does have some issues with food aggression that’s made it challenging at times with our other dog. He’s really an amazing dog, would do exceptionally well as the only animal I believe. He’s very well house broken, and can go 12-14 hours in between potty breaks. He's energetic at times, but settles down pretty quickly. Only other thing of note is he does have idiopathic canine epilepsy, so he has a seizure no more frequently than once a month. They don’t last any more than 5 minutes and are isolated. He snaps back to himself quickly too. Not on any seizure meds either :) He really is a great dog, and I’m absolutely devastated to look at rehoming him but I think it’s the right decision.

Story
Snuggler Alert! Meet Solo, my 3-year-old pit bull terrier mix with a huge heart and a love for people. He’s super affectionate, loves to cuddle and play, and is a big-time kisser who enjoys being close to his humans. He bonds quickly and settles well at home. He’ll be perfect for someone looking for a solo “ride-or-die” dog. He becomes highly excited around other dogs and has had a couple dog-to-dog incidents where excitement escalated into conflict. Because of this, he needs to be in a single-dog home with no dog park interactions or walk in high traffic areas. He is house trained, fully vaccinated, and healthy. I adopted Solo hoping he’d do well with my other dog, but learned he’s happiest as an only pet, so I’m looking for a calm single-dog home for him where he can truly thrive and bond with his human(s). Needs experienced handler who understands pitties. Willing to keep him until the perfect mom or dad comes around. He’s amazing and I will miss him dearly. Super loving.

Story
Shady is 13 y/o with more years ahead! We love her dearly & have shared many wonderful memories since we adopted her at 1.5. She loves nothing more than chasing a ball & exploring & is a healthy senior pup! She is loyal & protective with the sweetest eyes & soul. She is an anxious girl & this can make her territorial. As a result, she should be the only dog in the house. We are making the deeply painful decision to seek a new home for her as we truly think it is selfish to keep her in an increasingly restrictive environment at our home. Shady wasn't thrilled when we expanded our family with kids back in 2020 & despite lots of different approaches to have her around our kids, we are unable to safely do so. As we prepare to welcome a 3rd baby into our small home, she will be isolated & alone for significant chunks of time & we want a better life for her. She has so much love to offer & deserves an environment where she can be comfortable & thrive. We know we can no longer provide that.

Story
This is Lola! She is 4 years old, her birthday is 9/15/2021. We adopted Lola from a shelter at the age of 8 weeks, and from day one she has been an absolute lover. Unfortunately, we were unable to get her exposed to children, so she will do best in a home with the youngest children probably 12 or older as she is reactive with littles, especially toddlers. Lola has shown signs of overwhelm at large gatherings, especially when children are around. Lola loves to wrestle, fetch, hike, run, and play with other dogs at the dog park! She is extremely active and will do well with a family who spends lots of time outdoors. She is fully crate- and house-trained, has excellent recall, and knows the basic commands (sit, lie down, stay, leave it, take). She is extremely intelligent and needs lots of mental stimulation. She loves puzzles and is very food motivated (she LOVES doing regular short training sessions using small treats throughout the week). She absolutely loves to make her people happy!

Story
Georgie is about 1.5 yo. We adopted her from Humane Colorado in May 2025 hoping she would be a good companion dog to my other dog. She is incredibly affectionate & loving with people, including my 2 young nieces, but unfortunately she is not good with my other dog, which is my reason for rehoming her. I believe she would be best in a home without other dogs or small animals. She does have some reactive tendencies & resource guarding issues with other dogs. She is very food motived & attached to her humans. She came to us with some fears, some of which she has adjusted to well (i.e. she was terrified of car rides when she came to us but has gotten over that fear). She does very well in a crate. She does well at the vet. She loves walks & has done well camping with us. She would benefit from more training. It kills me to have to rehome her, but it has become unfair to my other dog to keep her around. She truly is a sweet dog that wants nothing more than to be loved.
