Story
LEMON is approx. 2yo female Pittie/Boxer mix! This fabulous gem is sweet and loving Lemon is low-to-medium energy. She does enjoy her rope toy & wrestling with her dog friends or just chilling. She is very people friendly and LOVES to cuddle with her human. She does have some separation anxiety- Lemon just wants to be involved and be by her human. She's a smart gal & loves to learn-she knows sit & come. A love bug who is affectionate with a silly personality. LEMON is Potty/crate trained- she doesn't like the crate at all and will find a way to break out. She's dog friendly with proper introductions. Lemon is NOT cat friendly! When we kid tested Lemon- she did fine with them. Older kids would be best. She enjoys walks and walks well on a leash. Will give endless cuddles on the couch!! LEMON is a sweet & sassy girl who likes to sunbathe, curl up on the couch/bed. She is doing a great job at being with three other dogs and working with her confidence/socializing. She might do best in a no pet household where she can get all the attention or a household that has another dog that is submissive, older and not so needy. She gets along with little doggies too!🥰 IMPORTANTLemon is terrified of storms and fireworks! She will need help getting through both of these when they occur.

Story
Looking for a Loyal and Lovable Companion? Meet Moon, a loving rescue dog ready to be a part of someone's family! Moon is a 4 year old Shepherd/Lab mix. She’s a little chunky lol but should weigh about 60 pounds once she loses a couple pounds :) She is super sweet and a happy dog with a heart full of love. She is affectionate and friendly. She enjoys giving kisses, playtime, car rides, going on walks or cuddling with her humans. Moon is a medium energy dog who is a really good girl. Moon is potty trained if taken out regularly and is doing well with crate training. She's dog friendly tho unknown about cats. She does great with kids and is a very friendly pup. She's a cute girl, who is smart and learns quickly. She is a snuggle bug, who will love you forever, be a loyal companion and eager to please.. Moon's backstory: Moon's owner died unexpectedly and none of the family would take Moon or her 14 year old fur sister Sunny - they ended up at a kill shelter in Southern Colorado. Sunny is also available for a furever foster (due to age) and we’d love them to go to the same home but they would also do well in their own homes.
