Story

Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Adrian #1 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Adrian | 6-month-old German Shepherd Mix | A curious, energetic explorer Adrian is a sweet, intelligent, and high-energy puppy with a big personality and an infectious zest for life. At just six months old, he’s still learning the ropes, but his curiosity and eagerness to engage with the world make him a joy to be around. He’s almost fully housetrained, knows that going outside means potty time, and is learning to signal by standing at the door or whining. He does well being crated for several hours at a time and typically settles after a short period of initial whining, making good progress for a pup his age. Adrian absolutely loves toys, chew bones, fetch, food enrichment puzzles, and exploring the outdoors. Walks are one of his favorite activities, though he is currently working through some leash reactivity to people, dogs, and wheeled objects. He can also get jumpy and excited, both inside the house and on walks, but he responds extremely well to positive reinforcement and is already learning commands like “leave it,” “down,” and “stop.” With consistency and continued training, he has all the tools to mature into a well-mannered companion. Affectionate and playful, Adrian enjoys cuddling once his exercise needs are met and often shows his love by resting his head on you, offering a paw, or rolling over for belly rubs. He does well with other dogs, particularly larger, calm, submissive females, and would thrive in an active home with plenty of space and someone who enjoys hiking, running, or other outdoor adventures. Adrian is best suited for an adopter who understands puppy energy, is committed to ongoing training, and can provide the structure, patience, and activity he needs to truly flourish. If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. The adoption fee for this pet is $450 (includes a $50 refundable puppy training deposit). Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls. PLEASE NOTE: The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter. Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets. Here is some interesting info on breed identification: https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online. We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting. Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member! December 28, 2025, 10:34 am

Story

This dog is a courtesy listing and not one of our dogs. For more information, contact 978-319-3244 or ryan.d.jallad@gmail.com. Oaky is a 8 year old neutered GSD. He’s a very obedient, friendly, and energetic dog who unfortunately needs to be an only dog as he does not get along well with canine roommates.

Story

Bell is very friendly and would love to have a family with kids to play with. I acquired Bell from Humane Colorado, formerly Denver Dumb Friends League, after an estranged family member left her there. Bell is about 1 1/2 years old. She has been through a 4 week training program at MOC K9 in Castle Rock, CO. She’s very smart and learns fetching games quickly. She sleeps in her crate every night. The guys at MOC K9 said that’s where she feels safe, it’s like her den. Her treadmill, crate and all her accessories are included. She just needs more attention than I can give her with my health issues.

Story

Hi, I'm Elsa! I’m a fun-loving 3-year-old mixed breed with tons of energy and a big heart! Playing is my favorite thing—especially a good game of fetch or tug-o-war. I’d love to be your one-and-only pet, but I do great with kids and would be thrilled to have some human playmates. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful best friend, I’m your girl! If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to reserve me for an appointment. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and St. Louis areas twice monthly. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual. We will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports to Colorado and Iowa, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veterinarian ($35). For transports to St. Louis, the additional fee is $50 to help cover gas. Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! All of our pets are neutered or spayed, have vaccinations appropriate for their age, treated with flea/tick/heartworm prevention, dewormed and dogs are also microchipped. #adoptdontshop ##2177060##

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, my name is Willie and I'm a handsome, highly intelligent GSD/Husky mix. My DNA test says 80% German Shepherd. For the last year, I've been living with a wonderful older couple, but I have too much energy for them, and they had a hard time meeting my needs. I lived with an older dog too but he passed away. I have been weaned off my anxiety meds now that I'm in a foster home, and my exercise needs are being met. I'd prefer a home without small children. I have been known to correct them with my mouth. Not a bite, just a hold. When my foster parents let me outdoors, I'll patrol the property to make sure our turf is safe and secure. My foster parents have noticed that I'm uncomfortable around men who wear hats and sunglasses. I do have an independent nature, but I like to keep watch as to where my humans are. Besides playing fetch, I enjoy other outdoor adventures. I would love to find a home with a GSD/Husky-experienced adopter who will provide me with lots of exercise and mental stimulation. Adventure seekers, please take note! If you are interested, please go to adoptagsd.org and submit an online application. My adoption fee is $350.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 23, 2025, 9:34 am

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. AdoptaGSD.org Please consider that some of these dogs have been abandoned or ignored by their previous owners, having little interaction with someone who cares about them. When adopted, they will need time to adjust to the changes in their life. Update: I have spent some time in a Board and Train program and the trainer reported that I arrived as an insecure, untrained dog who really didn't know even basic commands, and I was easily distracted or became over-stimulated. My insecurities led to excessive barking and nipping. The trainer worked with me using a calm, confident style while setting very clear boundaries, so I learned the difference between right and wrong. He recommends that I be adopted as an only dog, because when I'm around other dogs, I can get over-stimulated, which can spill over to other negative behaviors. I would love to find a home with a single person or couple who have a fairly quiet household (no kids). My adopter will need to continue with my training and set clear boundaries for me. The trainer will also provide a complimentary training session to help with the transition and discounted rates for additional training sessions. I would love to find my new person so I can show him or her how affectionate, loyal and devoted I can be! Hi, I'm Gunner, a handsome 2 1/2 yr old boy who was surrendered to FRGSR by my former owner due to his failing health. My owner was sad to have to surrender me, but rather than abandoning me at a shelter where I may not have made it out, he asked FRGSR if they could help to find me a new home, and thankfully, they said yes. Losing my owner and my home has left me wondering what happened and I'm feeling a little unsure of things. I'm currently living in a foster home, and my foster mom has noted that I'm definitely a boy who needs an owner with GSD experience. I'm particular about my canine friends, because I like some, but not others. I'm crate trained and house trained.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. AdoptaGSD.org Please consider that some of these dogs have been abandoned or ignored by their previous owners, having little interaction with someone who cares about them. When adopted, they will need time to adjust to the changes in their life. Update: For the last several months, I've been living with a foster who's also a dog trainer and I've made amazing progress! I have done well around other dogs, both large and small, with proper introductions. I LOVE to play fetch! I've also done well with the resident kitties. I've been non-reactive to people and other dogs while on walks. Nothing brings me more joy than pleasing my humans. My commands are spot-on, and I know sit/stay, down/stay, come, heel and place. I've had lots of fun accompanying my foster parents on hiking, camping and road trips. I'm a boy who thrives with structure, routine and proper exercise. I need a patient, experienced adopter who know breeds like me and lives in a house rather than a multi-unit complex. Is that you? Hi, my name is Gustaf, and I'm a 4 year old male GSD who was adopted out in 2022 when I was a cute puppy then returned because I was given too much freedom which led to problems. I ended up chasing bicycles and I grabbed the mailman's calf while delivering mail one day. I'm guarded when I first meet new people, but I do warm up over time with slow introductions, and once you're in my inner circle, I'm very affectionate and loving. The rescue is hoping to find a home without young children as they can open doors accidentally. If you are interested, please go to adoptagsd.org and submit an online application.

This dog is a courtesy listing and not one of our dogs. Please contact the email listed in this post. To apply to adopt Roxy, please click here! For more information, please contact Destination Rescue Dogs at info@destinationrescue.org or amber.schroeder@gmail.com or call 602-743-0006 Introducing Roxy! What’s the first thing you think when you see Roxy? “Whoa… those are some crazy eyes.” Same. But trust us those eyes have seen a lot. Eyes that came minutes away from being euthanized. And now? They suit her perfectly, because Roxy is crazy in all the best ways: - Crazy smart Roxy has classic puppy energy and is still learning how to channel it but in a short time she already knows sit and lay down, is great in a kennel, and is mostly potty trained. With continued training, we’re 100% confident she’ll be an incredibly smart, loyal best friend for an experienced owner. - Crazy friendly Cats? Dogs? Kids? Men? Women? Yes to all. She can be a bit of a bull in a china shop, so she may not be ideal for very small kids but she truly loves everyone she meets. - Crazy athletic She walks well on leash, hops right into the car, and is ready to be your adventure ride-or-die. Hiking, running, exploring there’s no active hobby we can imagine that she wouldn’t love doing right by your side. So if you’re looking to adopt a high-energy, fiercely loyal best friend, Roxy may be your gal. Roxy is being fostered in Houston Texas but is available for adoption many places across the country. Adoption fee includes the cost of transport.December 25, 2025, 10:44 am
