Dutch Shepherd puppies and dogs in Boulder, Colorado

Meet Addie - mountain dog extraordinaire and supreme cuddle bug! She loves hiking and swimming and joining you for all the outdoor adventures. Addie enjoys romping around with other pups while maintaining appropriate boundaries and has also lived with a cat (though some cats might not appreciate her attempts to play!). Addie isn`t a fan of sharing her food with other dogs, so if living with another dog, her family will need to be committed to management around meal times. At this time, HSBV will only re-home her to a family either without children or with children over the age of 10, due to Addie`s excitable nature.

  Meet Jack A Handsome Terrier-Shepherd Mix Ready for His Forever Home! Name: Jack (Macho) Breed: Terrier / Shepherd Mix Gender: Male | Age: 4 Years DOB: 10/27/2022 Weight: 14.5 kg / Approximately 32 lbs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: Individual temperament and activity preferences to be confirmed Medical: Neutered ✔️ | Vaccinated ✔️ | Flea Prevention Administered ✔️ | Distemper Screening ✔️ | 4DX Testing ✔️ Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Safe transportation coordinated for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Meet Jack, a handsome 4-year-old Terrier-Shepherd mix weighing approximately 32 pounds! This wonderful boy is searching for a loving forever family who will give him the stability, companionship, and care every rescue dog deserves. At four years old, Jack is a mature adult with many wonderful years ahead of him. He's past the earliest stages of puppyhood and at an age when dogs can continue building strong relationships with their families while learning new routines and skills. With his manageable medium size and interesting combination of Terrier and Shepherd heritage, Jack has the potential to become a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates intelligent, engaging dogs. Although Jack's individual temperament and favorite activities have not yet been fully documented, his breed background offers helpful insight into the type of enrichment, training, and lifestyle that may suit him. About the Terrier-Shepherd Mix Terriers and Shepherds are two distinctive groups of dogs, both known for their intelligence, enthusiasm, and strong working backgrounds. As a Terrier-Shepherd mix, Jack may inherit characteristics from either side of his heritage. Typical Terrier Characteristics: Curious and alert: Terriers often enjoy exploring their surroundings and investigating interesting sights and smells. Intelligent and determined: Many are quick learners who appreciate engaging activities. Energetic and playful: Terriers frequently enjoy interactive games and daily exercise. Independent thinkers: They can benefit from consistent, positive training and clear household expectations. Typical Shepherd Characteristics: Intelligent and trainable: Shepherd breeds often respond well to structured learning and positive reinforcement. Loyal and people-oriented: Many develop strong attachments to their families. Active and athletic: Shepherds generally benefit from regular exercise and mental stimulation. Observant and attentive: Their working backgrounds can make them especially aware of their environments. Because Jack is a mixed breed, his individual personality may differ from these general breed tendencies. His future family should be prepared to learn about his unique preferences, activity level, and behavior as he settles into his new home. At approximately 32 pounds, Jack is a medium-sized dog who may fit comfortably into a variety of living arrangements, provided his exercise, enrichment, and companionship needs are met. Jack deserves a family who will get to know him as an individual, appreciate his unique personality, and give him the opportunity to enjoy a happy, secure life. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At four years old, Jack is an adult dog who will benefit from a consistent routine, positive reinforcement training, and patient guidance. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on house training if needed, leash manners, basic obedience, recall, calm greetings, household boundaries, and appropriate socialization. Terrier-Shepherd mixes can be intelligent and curious, making mental enrichment an important part of their daily routine. Jack's future family should use patience, encouragement, and consistency to help him understand what is expected in his new home. Exercise & Daily Activities Depending on his individual energy level, Jack may enjoy: Regular daily walks and opportunities to explore. Interactive games and supervised playtime. Positive reinforcement obedience training. Puzzle toys and scent-based enrichment activities. Spending quality time with his family. A consistent routine that balances exercise, learning, and relaxation. His exercise routine should be adjusted to his individual fitness, preferences, and veterinary recommendations. Living With Other Pets Jack is considered suitable for homes with other dogs and children, with appropriate introductions and supervision. His compatibility with cats has not yet been confirmed. Because some Terriers have strong chasing instincts and some Shepherd breeds have herding tendencies, introductions to cats and other small animals should be approached carefully. All introductions should be gradual, supervised, and respectful of each animal's comfort level. The 3-3-3 Rule Every rescue dog needs time to adjust to a new environment. 3 Days: Time to decompress, observe his surroundings, and begin feeling safe. 3 Weeks: Time to understand his new household routine, build confidence, and become more comfortable. 3 Months: Time to strengthen his bond with his family, settle into daily life, and begin feeling truly at home. These are general guidelines rather than strict deadlines. Every dog adjusts at their own pace. Jack deserves a family who will provide patience, stability, encouragement, and reassurance as he settles into his forever home. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Jack has received important veterinary care and preventive treatment in preparation for his next chapter. His reported medical information includes: Neutered: Jack has been sterilized. Vaccinated: His vaccinations have been administered. Flea Prevention: Jack has received anti-flea treatment. Distemper Screening: A distemper check has been performed. 4DX Testing: Jack has undergone a 4DX screening, commonly used to check for heartworm disease and certain tick-borne infections. Important: The results of Jack's distemper screening and 4DX test have not been provided. His future adopter should review the veterinary records to confirm the results and determine whether any follow-up care is needed. Important Terrier-Shepherd Health Considerations As a medium-sized Terrier-Shepherd mix, Jack will benefit from preventive healthcare and regular monitoring throughout his life. Depending on his individual genetics, some potential considerations include: Joint and orthopedic health: Certain Shepherd breeds may be predisposed to hip or elbow concerns, making healthy weight management and appropriate exercise important. Skin and coat health: Some Terriers can be susceptible to skin sensitivities or allergies. Dental health: Regular brushing and veterinary dental evaluations help prevent periodontal disease. Weight management: Maintaining a healthy weight supports mobility, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being. Parasite prevention: Continued flea, tick, and heartworm prevention should be discussed with a veterinarian. Routine wellness screening: Regular examinations help identify potential concerns early. These are general breed-related considerations and should not be interpreted as diagnosed conditions in Jack. Daily Care & Owner Responsibilities Jack will need: High-quality nutrition appropriate for his age, weight, and activity level. Regular veterinary examinations and preventive healthcare. Daily exercise and mental enrichment suited to his individual needs. Routine grooming, dental care, and nail maintenance. Consistent flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention as recommended by his veterinarian. Continued training and positive socialization to support good household manners. A safe, secure living environment with appropriate supervision during outdoor activities. Plenty of companionship, patience, and affection as he adjusts to his new family. Adopting Jack is a lifelong commitment that includes providing proper nutrition, veterinary care, training, exercise, safety, companionship, and unconditional love.

Great puppy very smart there are two left in the litterText me with any questions 720-218-4268 Come see ALL available puppies at the adoption events every weekend! Friday 4-7pm Saturday 12-3pm Sunday 12-3pm at Pet Wants 8295 Ralston Rd., Arvada, CO

I was part of a litter called the Seasoning Squad! I was adopted in 2025 and now I'm back through no fault of my own. My people just didn't have a place for me to stay with them when they moved. I'm thought to be a dutch shepherd mix, but probably a mix of a lot of things. I am a good girl and hoping you'll give me a chance to show it. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to reserve me for an appointment. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and St. Louis areas twice monthly. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual. We will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports to Colorado and Iowa, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veterinarian ($35). For transports to St. Louis, the additional fee is $50 to help cover gas. Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! All of our pets are neutered or spayed, have vaccinations appropriate for their age, treated with flea/tick/heartworm prevention, dewormed and dogs are also microchipped. #adoptdontshop ##2498421##

Reintroducing Junie After an allergy in her previous foster home forced a change — through no fault of her own — Junie settled into her new foster home like she had always belonged there. And we’d like to officially reintroduce her here as well! Junie’s previous foster was heartbroken to say goodbye and was crying while writing Junie’s bio because she loves Junie so much and misses her. That’s the kind of dog Junie is: the kind who quietly works her way into your life until you can’t imagine the house without her. Junie’s Perfect Day Junie’s perfect day starts with some time in the yard, where she can explore, sniff every interesting scent, and keep an eye on everything happening around her. She loves being included and is always curious about what her people are up to. Once she’s had time to investigate the yard, Junie is ready to head out for an adventure. She enjoys walks and loves tagging along to coffee shops, breweries, patios, and other dog-friendly spots. She may be a little shy when she first arrives somewhere new, but give her a little time to take everything in, and her curious, playful personality starts to shine. Junie is wonderful with children and gets along well with other dogs. She may take a little time to warm up, but once she feels comfortable, she’s happy to join the fun. After a busy day, Junie is content to settle in at home with her people. She knows sit and stay, sleeps comfortably in her kennel or on her bed, and has had no overnight accidents. She also enjoys chewing on tree branches, because apparently sticks are more exciting than any toy you could buy her. And wherever the day takes you, Junie will be nearby, making sure she doesn’t miss anything. She’s ready for a forever family who will appreciate her sweet nature, goofy habits, and enthusiasm for being included — whether that means heading out for the day, relaxing in the yard, or settling in for a quiet evening together. Junie is ready to be your girl. ##2819655##

Duke, Dutch Shepherd/Huskey, 3.5 yrs., 60 lbs. Duke is friendly, happy and loves to meet and be with people. He is strong, and high energy so will need an active family.

Call Cindy 970-353-1385

Niall is one smart boy! This sensitive and sweet young guy comes pre-loaded with training skills. Here at the shelter, he`s learned a quick response to his name, hand targets, sits, loose-leash walking and has been working on his spins! Niall also loves to use his nose! He`d be a perfect fit for nose work classes or just fun sniff puzzles at home. Niall has enjoyed playing with other dogs here at the shelter, but he isn`t a fan of sharing his toys or treats with them (can you blame him?) so a dog meet is required prior to adoption to ensure a good fit. Due to his sensitive nature, HSBV will only rehome him to a family either without children or with children over the age of 16. Come meet sweet, silly Niall!

Even dogs who appear well-behaved in foster care or at the rescue are still adjusting and learning. The rescue environment itself also does not always allow for extensive one-on-one training.
