Story
Jupiter loves to play with squeaky toys, go for long walks (he`s an amazing hiking buddy!), and enjoys naps on a comfy bed. He has lived with cats, young children who respect his boundaries, using clear verbal communication if he’s uncomfortable, and another dog before but can show discomfort especially in the home towards other dogs so slow proper intros are needed. Jupiter is crate and potty trained. He walks best on a harness as he can slip a collar and is resistant to nail trims. Jupiter would thrive in a home that can provide structure, supervision, and continued positive guidance.

Story
Leightah is truly the biggest sweetheart you’ll ever meet. This gentle giant has a heart full of love and gets along wonderfully with both cats and dogs, making her a great addition to a multi-pet home. She has the cutest habit of “talking” to you and will happily use her paw to ask for extra attention—because cuddles and affection are her favorite things! Due to her large size and enthusiastic excitement, Leightah would do best in a home with kids 14 years and older, where everyone can comfortably enjoy her loving (and sometimes wiggly) personality. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will keep you smiling and never let you feel alone, Leightah might just be your perfect match.

Story
Available to meet starting 1/10/2026! This pup was rescued from a crowded shelter in New Mexico after the litter was dropped off at the shelter in a cardboard box. 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.  ##2615962##

Story
Available after 1/19/26 Meet Zane Zane is a sweet, gentle giant in the making with some big paws and an even bigger heart. He does great running and playing with his foster siblings, but once he’s had his fun, he’s happiest laying down and relaxing. He has a naturally calm, easygoing personality and is very much a cuddle bug. Zane is an easy puppy to have around. He isn’t a big chewer, settles well in his kennel with no accidents, and is doing great with potty training. He’s smart, eager to learn, and already showing what a well-balanced, laid-back boy he is. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, low-key puppy who enjoys playtime but also knows how to chill, Zane is your guy. He’s going to grow into an incredible companion. (Side note, his tail looks like it was dipped in paint and it’s the cutest thing ever!)
