Story
Hi! I'm Opal and I'm just under 5 years old. I have beautiful blue eyes that I get lots of compliments on. My favorite activity in the whole world is running and I would love to be someone's jogging companion, but I'm also content with a 30 minute walk daily and some yard time. I also enjoy curling up beside my humans on the couch and lounging outside in the sun. I get along well with most other dogs (particularly male dogs) and I have met a few cats and got along well with all but one of them. Other good attributes about me are that I'm completely potty trained (no accidents since I was a puppy!), I am not food aggressive, I don't shed a lot, and I sleep through the night happily. My owners are trying to re-home me because I am very scared of young children and they recently had a baby. I need to be placed in a home with children over the age of 10. My DNA test said I'm predominately Supermutt, Cattle Dog, and German Shorthaired Pointer.

Story
Leigh is a very sweet girl who never learned to communicate with other dogs. We lost my partner to cancer when Leigh was nine months old. She was never socialized well and became very unpredictable around other dogs in our home. She loves to play fetch, go on walks, and play in the snow. She has not spent time with children.

Story
Were looking for a forever home for Coco, our adorable 4-month-old puppy! Shes a sweetheart who loves belly rubs, treats, and being around people. Shes great with kids - weve had her around 4 and 7-year-olds and shes done fantastic. Shes also comfortable with our other older large dogs. She does great on walks with the leash and also listens well to the commands come and sit, and likes to play fetch. Shes still learning house training, but were confident shell pick it up with consistency and patience. Due to financial situations we havent gotten her vaccinations done yet. Shes very playful and would be a great family dog we wish we could keep her but dont have the room so we hope to find a loving home for her!

Story
We love Finny to pieces—he’s nothing short of an incredible, loving member of our family. We met him while hiking on Mt. Sanitas, when our dear friend Becca was fostering him, and by the end of the hike… we had adopted him. We’ve had Finny for well over a year now. He’s been deeply loved, well trained, and remains a total goofy cuddle bug. He came from the Taos area and was adopted through Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue, who estimated he was about a year old at the time. When we first brought him home, he was much thinner and a little shy—especially around men. Now he’s fully confident, fluffy, and a happy-go-lucky mushball. He loves to throw balls to himself and kick them around like a tiny soccer player. He knows a bunch of tricks, including “bang bang,” where he dramatically rolls onto his back with his paws in the air. Finny adores snuggles and scratches (especially belly rubs), loves long walks and hikes, and is equally happy to lounge around and chill.

Story
Q LOVEs: couch buddy, walk on leash, hike off leash, returns when called, car rides, dog parks, potty trained, all shots current, healthy, 17lb, 10yrs He came to me 2yrs ago, was considered "challenging dog" - I took him bc I'm a vanlifer and could provide time/energy to train him. We've done well, now ready for a home that can give him a bit more space than a van (apt/house both are great) CURRENT NEEDS: some body handling sensitivity remains. For washing him, walk in shower is great. He doesn't like nail trims and tooth brushing, but loves dental treats! I'm happy to share all I've learned. He will do amazing w someone who is willing to build trust and continue train. TRANSPARENCY: he has bit me in very early stage bc I tried to bathe him w/o proper knowledge. He now enjoys warm shower on his body bc I educated myself. It's often the humans, not the dogs!

Story
I adopted Kota in 2020, making him almost 6 and he's 70 pounds. I am looking for the best life possible for him (perhaps a farm/large space with other dogs) with loving humans. Currently space is a little tight for us but I'm able to be patient and wait for a great opportunity for him. Kota is a very unique and funny personality. He ranges from being a real loaf to zipping and zooming and makes beautiful husky sounds. He should not be in a home with cats but does great with all dogs. He spent 3 weeks being professionally trained by Art of the Dog Canine Academy in 2025. This includes a collar beeper that helps guide him as far as heeling on walks etc. He is trained to stay on his bed as well. He is a mellow guy and is pretty low maintennance and independent but is also snuggly. He loves rolling around in snow and relaxing outside. Also no notable health concerns.
