Story
Barnacle is a beautiful, loving Dutch Shepherd I adopted from the Denver Animal shelter. He's 3 years old and healthy. He loves to cuddle, get pets, receive treats, and keep people company. He needs a home that will give him space to roam when he needs it, but people he can go to when he needs some socialization. He can be incredibly calm and relaxed when he's at home, just laying next to his people happily. He loves to play with his toys (especially squeeky ones), and when we go for walks his favorite thing to do is go to a nearby park and run around (One of the pictures I attached shows him playing in fresh snow!) If he needs something, he will communicate that to you; for example, if he needs to go outside a little early, he will lead you to the door and whimper to say "Hey! I need to go!" He has not been living with any other animals so I cannot speak to how he behaves with other dogs, cats, or other animals. He also has not been around children. He gets excited when he sees dogs.

Story
We love Finny to pieces—he’s nothing short of an incredible, loving member of our family. We met him while hiking on Mt. Sanitas, when our dear friend Becca was fostering him, and by the end of the hike… we had adopted him. We’ve had Finny for well over a year now. He’s been deeply loved, well trained, and remains a total goofy cuddle bug. He came from the Taos area and was adopted through Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue, who estimated he was about a year old at the time. When we first brought him home, he was much thinner and a little shy—especially around men. Now he’s fully confident, fluffy, and a happy-go-lucky mushball. He loves to throw balls to himself and kick them around like a tiny soccer player. He knows a bunch of tricks, including “bang bang,” where he dramatically rolls onto his back with his paws in the air. Finny adores snuggles and scratches (especially belly rubs), loves long walks and hikes, and is equally happy to lounge around and chill.

Story
******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you area not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Meet Tommy – The Gentle Giant with the Million-Dollar Smile Tommy is a 3-year-old, 75-pound German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his grin. He was rescued from an overcrowded Houston shelter and came to us extremely shy, fearful, and unsure of the world- likely the result of a very troubled past. For months, he needed very patient, gentle fosters to help him feel safe. Because he was given that time, love, and consistency, Tommy has blossomed into the sweetest, calmest, most loyal companion. But it’s important for future adopters to know: Tommy absolutely requires a slow warm-up. He needs people who understand that trust for him is built quietly, steadily, and on his timeline. Once he lets you in, though… it’s magic. In his foster home, Tommy quickly found comfort in his kennel, learned to use the doggy door, and chose an elevated bed as his favorite spot. He’s a slow-paced, easygoing guy who loves lounging on the porch, stretching in the sunshine, and - his signature move - lifting his face to sniff the breeze with a big, content smile. Tommy will likely thrive best in a home with another confident, friendly dog. He adores following another dog’s lead, which helps him feel braver and more secure during new experiences. As his foster family, we LOVE Tommy deeply. We are committed to being an ongoing resource for his success. If, for any reason, the adoption isn’t the right fit, please reach out - we will gladly take Tommy back and continue fostering him to ensure he finds the most perfect home. If you’re looking for a calm, gentle soul who will be your quiet shadow, your breeze-sniffing porch buddy, and your loyal friend once he trusts you, Tommy may be the perfect match you’ve been waiting for. ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt him?
