Story
Meet Whitney, the little ray of sunshine who’s impossible not to love!  She was found with her six siblings, and from day one, she stood out as the happiest, bounciest, and most easygoing pup of the bunch. Whitney falls in love fast...with people, with playtime, and especially with you. She’s the kind of girl who wants to be right by your side, happily sitting between your legs like she’s keeping watch over her favorite human.   When she arrived with her fosters in Texas, Whitney was the very first to come out of her shell. It was Whitney's playful spirit and sweet confidence that helped show her siblings that people can be kind and trustworthy. They watched her play with her fosters from afar, and one-by-one, day-after-day they followed her lead. Despite being one of the smallest, she truly led with her heart.   Whitney’s favorite toys? Shoelaces, sticks, and basically any branch she can proudly carry around. Her joy is contagious, her tail never stops wagging, and she has a special talent for stealing hearts...ours included. Out of her entire family, Whitney won us over the fastest… and we have no doubt she’ll do the same to you. This pup was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas. Available to meet starting 1/17/2026! Meet and greets are by appointment only.  An approved application is required to schedule a meeting. Check out our events page for upcoming open adoption events! We have no additional back story or update for this dog at this time.  When we do, it will be updated here.  This is all the information we have currently. Approved Applicants may make the adoption fee payment by clicking donate above.  Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded. Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance.  We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect).  Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico.  While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.   More questions?  Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/  Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.  ##2615982##

Story
Rios is a 4-year old German Shepherd mix. She was the love of my daughters life until my daughter passed away in November 2025. I would keep her but already have two working Dutch Shepherds myself that I travel with for dock diving and for human remains detection on my Larimer County Search and Rescue team. Rios is a beautiful, spayed female German Shepherd Mix looking for a new home. Rios previous owner recently passed and she is looking for her new person. She is a four-year old, active female who would make an excellent hiking partner but also has an off switch to cuddle up on the bed or couch with her person. She is up to date on all vaccinations and is currently in a professional training program in Northern Colorado. Owners family is willing to transport if you are a good fit.

Meet Crosby! The Perfect Blend of Sweet, Sassy, and Snuggly!Located in Houston, TX – Transport available to most states for $300Age: 2 yearsWeight: 65 lbsColor: White, black & brownSpayed, chipped, fully vaccinated, and heartworm negativeAfter months of surviving on the streets, Crosby found her second chance with a dog-loving family—and now she’s ready for her forever home!Crosby is the ultimate companion: loyal, loving, and full of life. She’s got the smarts to match her stunning looks and knows commands like “crate/home,” “sit,” “down,” “come here,” and “outside.” She’s housebroken, crate trained, and has never had an accident indoors.This girl LOVES her people and thrives on affection—fetch, cuddles, belly rubs, and bedtime snuggles are her love languages. She’s also a certified blanket hog and believes every bed should be shared (with her in the middle, of course).Crosby does great with kids and other dogs and loves to socialize at the park. She enjoys bath time, walks like a dream, and is super easy to groom. She loves to swim!Crosby must have a few stuffed animals at all times (it’s non-negotiable), and she’ll happily entertain herself with a toy or deer antler when crated.She’s truly looking for a family that will shower her with attention and include her in all the fun.

Story
Tater is a spunky, lovable shepherd mix with a striking half-white eye that’s sure to turn heads and melt hearts! This 4-year-old, 42-pound ball of energy is always ready for fun and thrives in an active home where she can run, play, and be her joyful self.Tater has a solid training foundation and is very food-motivated, which makes her a quick learner and a great candidate for continued obedience training. She loves treats, enjoys a good game of chase, and would make an awesome jogging or hiking partner.While she’s sweet and affectionate with those she knows, Tater can be a little nervous around strangers and may need a patient, understanding family to help her feel safe and build trust. She doesn’t like to be cornered by unfamiliar people (who does?!), but once she warms up, she’s a loyal and loving companion.Tater adores kids and is eager to play, though she gets excited and might jump—so a home with older children who can help guide her manners would be ideal.If you’re looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion who’s already halfway to perfect, Tater might be your perfect match. With a little love and leadership, she’s sure to become your new best friend.Tater is located in Houston, Tx and can be transported to most states for $300.00
