Story
Hi, My name is Belle Azul. I’m a little over 2 1/2 years and am a Colorado native. I love long walks, playing fetch and being the center of attention. I rarely bark but will speak to you with the typical Husky howl. I would love to be in a household with another dog to have a playmate or with kids who love to play play play. You’ll never find a dog as sweet and loving as me.

Story
Hello, This is Sol she is about 1 year old. She is a great doggie, very playful and cuddly. Sol loves long walks and loves play time. She is very very smart can pick up on things easily. Sol is a very energetic dog she definitely needs someone who can give her the time to be outside and exercise. She is a working dog but can also be a great house dog. She loves the attention and will push other dogs out of the way to get it. She is not aggressive at all she can get along with dogs well, we have taken her day care and have not had any issues she loves it ! She again learns basic commands fast and can learn other things as well if given the time, is potty trained, and also doesn’t mind baths but they are not her favorite, she does allow herself to get her nails cut which is a plus. My partner and I unfortunately do not have the time give her what she needs or the housing size for her.

Story
Meet Ciri!Ciri is a stunning 2-year-old Great Pyrenees mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This beautiful girl may have started off a bit shy at the shelter, but she’s truly come into her own and loves to show off her playful, goofy side once she feels comfortable.Ciri is an intelligent and loyal dog who forms strong bonds with her people. She enjoys exploring, being active, and having a sense of purpose—true to her livestock guardian dog roots. Because of this, Ciri thrives in a home where she has structure, guidance, and a job to do, whether that’s keeping watch over her home or simply being your devoted companion.We think Ciri may do best as the only pet in a home, where she can soak up all the attention and build a strong connection with her family. She can be a bit picky with her canine companions and doesn’t want to have to feel like she has to guard her food, toys, or humans from other dogs. Due to her protective nature, Ciri may be best suited for a home without young children.Ciri’s looking for an experienced adopter who understands guardian breeds and can help guide her with consistent, positive reinforcement training. With the right leadership, Ciri is eager to learn and will be an incredibly rewarding companion.Ciri is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccines—she’s ready to start her next chapter! If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and devoted dog to share your life with, Ciri might just be your perfect match.

Story
Say hello to Ruby Tuesday! Ruby is around 1 year old and we think she is some unique kind of Bulldog (or some other type of Bully-Breed) Mix who is sweet as can be! Ruby Tuesday has quickly stolen the hearts of everyone she meets both shelter staff, volunteers, and visitors! Ruby came to us when her previous family was no longer able to care for her, but she is so excited for the chance to start life fresh and find a brand new family to love her! Ruby is a loving, people-focused girl who lives for attention and affection. If you’ve got hands for belly rubs, she’s ready to roll right over and soak them up! She adores being close to her humans and would thrive in a home where she can be part of the family and showered with love.Ruby would do best as the only pet in the home, as she does not seem to get along well with other dogs and prefers to have all the attention to herself. She’s happiest when she can relax by your side, go for easy strolls, and enjoy quality one-on-one time.Ruby Tuesday is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, and has been given a clean bill of health by our vet. She’s ready to start her next chapter with a family who will give her the forever home she deserves. Come meet Ruby Tuesday and let her wiggle her way into your heart!

Story
Sol is a 1year-old Pitbull mix with the softest eyes and an even softer heart. While the big wide world can be a little intimidating at first, Sol warms up remarkably fast. She just needs to know she’s safe before she reveals her true, goofy self. Her `shy` phase lasts about as long as it takes to open a bag of treats.Sol seems to do well with other friendly dogs and we think she would do well in a home with kids that can give her some space when she needs it but also give her lots of love and attention.Sol is already spayed, up to date on her vaccines, microchipped and dewormed! Come meet this `sol-ful` gal and fall in love!

Story
Hi, I’m Opal—a 5-year-old, spayed female cattle dog mix with the energy of a toddler on espresso and the snuggling skills of a professional blanket. My previous family couldn’t keep me, so now I’m on the lookout for a brand-new human to adore. Could it be you?I’m sweet, smart, and active—basically the full package. I love hiking, exploring, and yes, enthusiastically alerting everyone when a bus dares to roll past my street. After a good adventure, though, I transform into a world-class cuddle bug who proudly accepts belly rubs as payment for services rendered.Do you enjoy hiking, exploring, and pretending buses are suspicious? Excellent. I’m loyal, cuddly, and ready to be your shadow (in a cute way, not a creepy way). I come with classic herding-dog features: brains, energy, and the occasional “I must supervise everything” stare.Please come adopt me—I miss having my own person to love!
