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.

She has that wonderful puppy sparkle — eager to explore the world, happy to be near her people, and always ready for the next adventure or cuddle session. She’s confident without being overwhelming, sweet without being shy, and already showing signs of becoming an incredibly loyal companion. Personality Tiffany is loving, attentive, and people-oriented. She enjoys engaging with her surroundings, learning new things, and being part of daily life. She has a gentle affectionate side that shines during quiet moments and a playful, energetic side that comes out during walks, games, and enrichment time.

Highly intelligent and eager to learn Active and thrives with mental and physical stimulation Forms strong bonds with their people Does best with structure, routine, and positive training Likely to be medium-large when fully grown This is a wonderful mix for someone who enjoys an engaged, interactive dog and is excited to build a true partnership. Owner Responsibilities Tiffany will need: Daily physical activity and mental enrichment Continued training using patience and positive reinforcement Consistency, routine, and clear boundaries Time, companionship, and inclusion as part of the family She is still growing emotionally and physically and will blossom most with an adopter committed to guiding her through adolescence. &#226&#154&#160&#239&#184&#143 Things to Consider Before Adopting Please think carefully about: Your schedule and ability to provide time, structure, and training Your living situation (landlord approval, space, fencing if needed) Long-term plans — moves, lifestyle changes, travel Financial responsibility including food, training, grooming, and vet care The reality of adopting a young dog who is still learning Adopting is not just about today — it’s about committing to every chapter of her life. Vet Care Although Tiffany is healthy, vaccinated, and spayed, it’s important to schedule a visit with your own vet as soon as possible after adoption to establish care and ensure a smooth transition. The 3-3-3 Rule (Important!) First 3 days: Tiffany may feel overwhelmed as everything is new — patience and reassurance are key. First 3 weeks: She’ll begin learning your routine, your home, and what it means to belong. First 3 months: Trust deepens, confidence grows, and her true personality fully shines. This adjustment period is normal and requires understanding, consistency, and love. Why Tiffany Will Be an Amazing Addition Tiffany isn’t just a dog — she’s a companion in the making. She’s the kind of pup who will look to you for guidance, celebrate your presence, and grow into a loyal, loving soul by your side. With the right home, she’ll become a devoted family member, an adventure buddy, and a steady source of joy for years to come.

Story
Big Boy was part of 3 puppies we rescued in Texas. Mom was dumped and had her litter of 8 puppies. Big Boy is super smart, treat/food motivated, and has a curious instinct. He loves treat-dispensing toys and any toys that require him to sniff out treats. Out of the 3, Big Boy was always first to learn something new, and his siblings followed. He loves playing with his siblings and can share toys for the most part, but he is always interested in the toys that his siblings have. Big Boy is still learning boundaries, such as not eating his siblings food or taking his siblingstreat-dispensing toys away. For this reason, we tend to feed/ give treat-dispensing toys separately. Big Boy is potty-trained. He will be attending PetSmart training/socialization classes starting Feb 8th. Big Boy is curious about my moms cat, but the cat is not ready to interact with Big Boy. He will try to sniff her or eat the cat food. He gets along great with my brother 7-year-old Black Lab.

Story
My name is Dana I am almost two. I was adopted a couple summers ago, but my older sister has started picking fights with me, so my dad wants me to live somewhere safer for me. I am a very smart german shepherd cross. I have learned how to open the back door by myself and to get out of any chain link fence by opening the gate. I need a home where I can fulfill my active lifestyle. I am a very active girl and enjoy running around and wrestling with my siblings. I currently live with my older sister and a dachshund brother. I like to play, and have a rowdy playstyle, so would be best matched with another dog that appreciates that! I am very smart and have learned how to sit and stay. I look forward to meeting you and hoping you can teach me new and wonderful things. If you're interested in meeting me please fill out an application at www.thegooddogrescue.org (If you already have an approved application, please email thegooddogrescueadoptions@gmail.com with your interest in me!) My adoption fee is $300 and I am spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations ##1745197##

Hi there, my name is Leila. I'm the best dog greeter in my doggie daycare. I love balls and toys,going for car rides and love to play with dogs and people.  I walk well on leash, but am scared of bikes and scooters - wheelie things are weird!  I am extremely affectionate and loveable. I have a million facial expressions. I love being outside and playing in the snow. I'm working on my nice leash walking, but am making good progress. I love to explore and sometimes my nose leads me off path.  I would make a great addition to an active home preferably with another dog!  If you're interested in meeting me please fill out an application at www.thegooddogrescue.org (If you already have an approved application, please email thegooddogrescueadoptions@gmail.com with your interest in me!) My adoption fee is $300 and I am spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations ##2079620##
