Story

We rescued Penny about 6 years ago. She can be aggressive with other animals at first. But then turns into a sweetheart. She will not bite, just bark loudly and look mean. She loves kids and attention. She will cuddle up and ask for belly rubs. Sad to have to give her up, but I have been moving too often with my job and it is not fair for her and can’t give her the attention she deserves.

Story

About Luke Luke is a very loving, almost 4-year-old dog. I adopted him when he was 12 weeks old from a rescue that saved his mom and litter. He has been a wonderful part of our family ever since. Luke has lots of love and energy and would thrive with a family or individual who has the time to play with him and give him attention. He would do best in a home with a yard where he can run around and burn off his energy. He gets along great with both big and small dogs and has been wonderful with my one-year-old child, though like many energetic dogs he doesn’t always realize how big he is. Luke is house trained and crate trained, and his crate is his safe space. He loves attention, cuddles, and being around people. He has no medical issues. He does have a slightly sensitive stomach, so he does best on a low-fat gastrointestinal dog food that keeps his tummy happy. We are looking for a very loving and well-suited home where Luke will get the time, attention, and activity he deserves

Story

She is a well behaved dog, will be happy with a new home, just add love and food. We found here wondering around on our farm in 2018. She was born in the country and we never met her mother. She has great experience with farm animals, chickens, ducks, geese and will not attack them. We have acquired a new female Japanese Akita lately and they simply cannot commingle . The Akita has become territorial and this is no fault of Toby. We just cannot risk having them fight.

Story

Hello, this handsome fella is Henry. He is 6 years old, a big Teddy bear and loves chasing birds. I am helping my mother find Henry a new home. She is retiring soon and will be downsizing. The listing shows as a year old because we had posted our dog Bailey here a year ago but was able to keep her. She's doing great. We just repurposed the original posting.

Story

Willie Mae is a VERY loving and sweet girl. She smiles. She gets along perfectly with all animals and people but Willie Mae needs an owner that is active and can take her on adventures. She would be an amazing adventure sidekick. Prior to moving back to Colorado we lived on several acres where she was able to run and explore all day long. Now we are in the suburbs with busy schedules and Willie Mae’s mental health is suffering. This is a painful decision but we are reaching out to find someone who can give her the life she needs and truly deserves. You must have dog experience for us to consider placing her with you.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

She's 12 years old loves kids and loves attention. She was born from another pet. She is very calm and not super playful but loves cuddles and a good belly rub. We're looking that she's taken care of and treated nicely and shown the love that she had here. I've noticed with age she's not fond of other playful dogs. But loves to be with children.
