Story
Moose is a sweet, goofy 2.5-year-old dog with a big heart and lots of love to give. After a tough start in life, he’s proven to be incredibly resilient and is now ready for his forever home. He’s very food-motivated, making him highly trainable, and he loves staying active with runs and games of fetch. Moose is great with people, does well with older kids, and even gets along with cats.He’s made great progress on leash but can still be a bit reactive around other dogs, so continued training will help him keep improving. Moose may do best as the only dog or with a calm, submissive companion. He’s also a known counter surfer, so a home that can manage food boundaries is important.Moose is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, recently had a clean bill of health, and comes with a year of heartworm prevention. He’s ready to bring joy, loyalty, and plenty of laughs to his new home.

Story
*** Come meet me this Saturday (10.10.26) at our annual Dellenbach adoption event from 10am-3pm. The event is located at: Dellenbach Subaru 3103 S College Ave, Fort Collins, CO 80525. This event is first come, first serve. We recommend arriving early if you have a particular critter in mind. Please note, if they are signed up to attend the event they cannot be met with or adopted prior to the event. We hope to see you there! :) *** Eklutna's got a wonderful disposition - she's sweet, loving, mellow, playful, and loyal. She loves meeting new people, approaches dogs neutrally, and never stops wagging her tail. She loves tummy scritches, napping, and an occasional 20-minute bout of playfulness followed by a big rest.

Not good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
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.October 8, 2026, 5:10 pm

Story
Meet Pete! This happy boy is hoping to get sprung from the shelter into his new family home! Pete is a little weary of strangers but loves going for walks, eating snacks, and exploring the backyard. Pete does well with friendly dogs but is probably not a match for cats or small animals. October 8, 2026, 5:10 pm
