Story
I adopted this little guy in LA last year. He's a really sweet dog. At first he was wild and injured my shoulder. After that I went through training with him and he cleared up a ton! Its just that now after I moved here for work, he developed this separation anxiety I can't really take care of due to my work commitments and other stuff like going to the gym. Pair that with him living in a cramped apartment - this poor little guy deserves better than what I can provide. He is super cuddly and curious. Anytime he hears someone new on a call he joins and watches them. He'd always be with me in the kitchen when I'd cook and give me puppy-eyes for a sample. He doesn't pull when I walk him. He loves to cuddle. He has never had a history of being aggressive towards other dogs. He knows the commands: sit, lay down, poop (yes he poops on command) and reluctantly does 'go' when you point somewhere. He comes with a month of food, treats, toys, & a crate. He deserves a good life :(

Story
Hello there! My name’s Penny, and I’m a 9-year old, 55 pound shepherd mix with a big heart, a silly streak, and a love for all things Colorado. I’ve had a wonderful life with my humans, but recently they brought home a tiny human who grew into a very wiggly, spinning, jumpy toddler. And, well… I’m not a fan of surprises that move on two legs. So I’m looking for a quieter home, one without tiny humans, where I can relax, feel safe and be your loyal adventure partner. A little about me: · Healthy, happy, and full of love · Great walker, excellent on trails · I adore hiking, camping, skiing and all the normal mountain fun · I do like kids – as long as they’re predictable, respectful, and old enough to understand my boundaries (probably 9+) · I’ve always lived with dogs, but would like to meet them first. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to explore life with – someone who will wag, cuddle, and trot happily beside you on every trail - I’m your girl!

Story
"Meet your new shadow – Bridie 💕 This stunning, 55-lbs, brindle beauty is a 1–2 year old Dutch Shepherd with a heart as big as her ears are alert. She’s the definition of a Velcro dog — if you’ve ever wanted a loyal sidekick who thinks you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to Earth… congratulations, you’ve met your girl. ✨ The Good Stuff: Absolutely adores humans (big fan of her people) Potty trained ✔️ Loves toys — squeaky, tug, toss… yes please! Couch privilege is non-negotiable (she’s a professional snuggler) Will happily follow you from room to room as your devoted assistant 🐾 Dog Skills: She’s dog selective and prefers slow, proper introductions. She may thrive as your one-and-only or with the right respectful canine match. 💛 Her Heart: She bonds deeply and loves being close. She does experience some separation anxiety, but she’s working hard on building confidence and making progress every day. She would do best with a mom or dad who is home more often than not and committed to continuing her growth. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, brindle best friend who wants nothing more than to be your shadow (and share your couch), she’s ready to clock in for lifetime duty. 🐾 Your home. Her heart. Forever." Birdie is being fostered in Thornton, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs.* You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/birdie/.

Story
Meet Maple  Maple’s story begins with quiet bravery. At just about a year or two old herself, this young rez dog was doing everything she could to protect her nine tiny puppies while living on the streets. When she discovered an abandoned dog house on a nearby property, she seized the little bit of shelter it offered. One by one, she carried each puppy into the rugged, makeshift structure , determined to give them whatever safety she could from the cold, windy weather outside . It wasn’t much — but to Maple, it was hope. YOU CAN SEE MORE PICS & VIDEOS ON OUR WEBSITE: https://www.circle2rescue.com/available-pets/  Petfinder limits the number of pics & videos. When we learned about her situation, we organized a rescue crew and drove out to bring Maple and her babies to safety . She greeted us with a mix of exhaustion and relief, trusting us enough to let us help her family. Now warm, safe, and cared for, Maple is thriving. She’s doing a marvelous job raising her puppies , showing the kind of devotion and gentleness that makes her truly special. Our best guess on Maple's breed is Belgian Malinois/Shepherd and since she is a rez dog, probably many other breeds. Malinois and Shepherds are a working breeds and do best with an experienced owner.. Here are some of the things to consider. They are highly intelligent..Once they put their mind to it, they can excel at almost anything they do; they will even try outsmarting you sometimes. They need a strong and confident owner who knows how to be a pack leader; otherwise, they will dominate the household.Given their intelligence and eagerness to please their owners, Shepherds and Malinois are relatively easy to train. They can generally learn a new command within 5–15 repetitions. The Belgian Malinois makes an incredible watchdog and they won’t hesitate to alert you when they spot a stranger. Like most dogs, they thrive off routine and consistency and having a job to do. There are many activities you can do to provide appropriate physical and mental stimulation. Regular walks and hikes, nose work, fetch games, and canine sports will provide what they need and are vital to their happiness. Maple is devoted to her people but it takes some time for her to warm up to new people and dogs. She will require an experienced and patient adopter. If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   ##2612793##
