Story
My name is Averi and I am an independent girl. I like to spend my days being lazy on the couch in and out of naps or sun bathe outside protecting my house. When my humans are home I love to go on walks in the neighborhood or go for a hike. I can get quite anxious and new people can be scary to me. I like to initiate interactions with people and once I know you’re my human I love you with all of my heart. The perfect home for me is one with adults only and no other pets that could make me anxious. I cannot interact with children as they make me extremely anxious and uncomfortable.    Averi is a member of our Keep Them Home program.July 28, 2025, 5:21 pm

Bucky

Labrador Retriever

Fort Collins, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bucky is a 4 year old black Labrador Retriever mix. He is a stage 5 clinger and loves to cuddle and be close! Bucky has the softest fur, and would love to be pet constantly.  Bucky is house-trained and very energetic, so he would do best in a home with a fenced-in yard. He knows sit, down, place, and “put ‘r there” (shake).  Bucky has lived with children younger than 8 and has done well with them, but would most likely do best with older children or no children, as he can be a bit anxious with new people. He would love to have a dog friend his age because he is very playful and might enjoy a friend who can keep up with him. He would also do well in a home as the only pet, because he loves to be the center of attention! Bucky is also used to having his people work from home, so he would do well in a home where he is not left alone too often.   Bucky is a member of our Keep Them Home program.August 20, 2025, 5:07 pm
