Story
Quinn has been raised on a farm and ranch with lots of room to run and play. She has a very sweet disposition and is calm and sweet. She’s never been aggressive and loves to be with you. She has had some basic obedience training on her, but we haven’t had enough time to work with her further. We’re so sad to see her go, but we are too busy to give her the love she needs.

Story
Add some spice to your life with the adorable Peppercorn! This spunky 2-year-old girl has a giant heart full of love to give. With a gorgeous brindle coat and sweet doe eyes, she’s a great mix of playful energy and cozy couch cuddles. She can be timid at first, but once she feels secure she’s ready to love with her whole heart and soul. She thrives on being included, even if it’s just sitting in the same room with you while you work. And when she’s truly happy she makes the most adorable little pig snorts to let you know! Peppercorn would do best in a home with teens aged 14 and up, though an adult-only home is preferred so she can continue to thrive in a calm, predictable environment. She’s a social pup who gets along well with other dogs and would be happy to have a canine companion. This smart girl loves puzzle toys and training games-she’s very food motivated and eager to please her people. Peppercorn appreciates structure, routine, and positive guidance. She is looking forward to a loving home where she can feel like a safe, cherished part of the family. If you’re searching for a loyal companion with a gentle heart and a dash of sass, Peppercorn might be the one for you! But wait! A special note from Peppercorn: "The staff here say that I have been searching for my home for way too long! They decided to reduce my adoption fee to $100, that way you can spend more on treats, toys, and spoiling me rotten!"

Story
Meet your new life-of-the-party bestie 🎉🐾 This 1-year-old Great Pyrenees mix (Specifically 54% Great Pyrenees 30% German Shepherd Dog 7% Australian Shepherd 4% Australian Cattle Dog 3% Labrador Retriever per my DNA test!) is a giant baby in a 70 lb body and he is here to have a good time! Equal parts party animal and cuddle monster, he’s the kind of dog who will leap straight into your arms (yes, really) for affection and then flop dramatically for more love. Sweet doesn’t even begin to cover it. He adores other dogs and lives for playtime—running, wrestling, zooming, and making sure he’s right in the middle of all the action. He’ll happily wear himself out having fun and then settle in close, soaking up attention like the big love sponge he is. Because of his size and enthusiastic zest for life, he’s too large and exuberant for little kids, but he’d thrive with dog-savvy humans who appreciate a joyful, high-energy companion. Food? Obsessed. Treats? Yes please. Enrichment toys? Absolutely. And honestly, who doesn’t want peanut-butter kisses from a slobbery gentleman who gives 110% to everything he does?? He does have a prey drive, so he’s looking for a home without small animals. In return, he promises endless laughs, wholehearted love, and the kind of presence that makes every day feel a little more fun. If you’re ready for a big, goofy, affectionate dog who wants to be part of everything, this sweet party animal is ready to meet you. 🐶💛

Bucky

Labrador Retriever

Male, Adult
Fort Collins, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

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.March 9, 2026, 3:20 pm

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.March 9, 2026, 3:20 pm
