Story
Oso is a gentle giant senior looking to spend his golden years in a loving home. Oso ended up at a shelter in New Mexico at the age of 8 years old. He was not thriving in a shelter environment, and we were lucky enough to be able to move him up to Colorado and into a foster home. Oso is about 85 lbs and likely a purebred German Shepherd. He has had full bloodwork and x-rays done, and seems to be very healthy! He loves food of any kind, and is smart and motivated to please. He enjoys long walks despite some arthritis in his spine, which we're currently treating with joint supplements and appropriate diet. Oso is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and Heartworm-negative. Oso is good with other dogs, and takes correction from other dogs well. We have not seen him with cats or small kids yet. He gets anxious in a kennel, which his foster is working on. If interested in adopting, please fill out the application at the following link: https://www.wildwestpetrescue.org/adopt

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. UPDATE: Rios is halfway through her 4-week training program and ready for her new home! Owners family is willing to transport if you are a good fit.
