Story
Meet Wednesday Wednesday is a tiny terrier/chihuahua mix with a big, brave heart—she’s just still learning how to use it. She came to Colorado from Portales, New Mexico, after a very rough start to life, and everything in this new world is brand-new to her. She’s incredibly sweet, gentle, and curious… but also extremely shut down as she figures out what it means to feel safe. Wednesday likely never had a collar, harness, or leash before arriving here, and you can see that in how carefully she approaches the outdoors. Right now, she’s working hard on feeling comfortable going outside, and she has a spacious indoor playpen with potty pads while she builds her confidence. She will need a patient adopter with a calm, quiet home—and ideally a securely fenced yard—so she can explore at her own pace without pressure. She’s not ready for adventures yet, but she is ready for someone who sees her potential. Someone who understands that tiny steps are big wins, and that trust is something you earn slowly, gently, and with a lot of love. If you have a soft spot for the shy ones, Wednesday might be the girl who blossoms just for you. ##2601622##

Story
Misty had a rough start in life and almost didn't make it to Colorado. Her eye was badly infected and she needed to have it removed. But FOJ rescuers saw her sweetness and resiliency shining through and made it happen. Now, she's a one-eyed wonder and she barely seems to notice she's different! This tiny, scruffy girl will melt your heart! She is a mix of so many things depending on her comfort level -- she can be shy at first and a little skittish, but her explorer nature quickly takes over as she checks out every corner of your house. She loves being close to her humans and really just wants to curl up on your lap! She's great with kids and other dogs.  Misty is making great progress on potty training and has been successfully using the doggy door! She's still learning basic commands and is getting more comfortable walking on a leash.  ##2601630##

Story
Maggie is 3-4 year old Terrier/Chihuahua/Poodle mix weighing about 15lbs.  Maggie came to us over a year ago from a hoarding case where there were over 60 Chihuahua/Poodle mixes living in a small home in Denver.  They were all incredibly under socialized and neglected, with most of the females being pregnant.  We were able to take in 5 of the pregnant moms from Maxfund to help get them into a safe and comfortable place to give birth and raise their puppies.  We also took about 8 other dogs from the hoarding case to start them socializing and learning how to "dog".  Maggie is now the last dog from the hoarding case and needs her forever family.  Maggie has clearly been through a lot and still has a long way to come.  She is a sweet girl but still pretty timid around humans.  She will come and snuggle with her foster Momma on her terms but it did take an incredibly long time for that to happen.  Maggie really needs a human who can be patient with her and give her a forever home with lots of love knowing she came from an incredibly rough situation and will probaly never be a completely "normal" dog. Her fosters describe her as more of a cat-dog.  We know she could make more progress with some training as well.  We will require she goes to a home with another dog so she can continue to learn how to trust and be a dog. If you are interested in adopting Maggie, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2313815##

Story
Buffy was born in Rescue. She is now 9 mos old and weighs 15#. Buffy plays well with cats, kittens and other dogs. She has never been around kids but a respectful child 10+ may be considered. Buffy is spayed, chipped, HW-, and utd on vaccs. Buffy is crate trained and potty trained but will need continued positive support in a new house with a new routine. Mom is a border terrier mix. Buffy requires a fenced yard because she is still fearful of the leash. She has worked through most of her issues and has come a long way with her positive reinforcement training for being fearful but will need a patient owner who will continue to help her build confidence. She will do best with a friendly canine companion in the home who she can learn from and seek guidance. If you're interested in meeting Buffy, the first step is to complete our meet and greet application at  https://www.corgisandfriends.com/forms  We require the application, home and reference check, and meet with everyone in the home. Buffy's adoption fee is $400 and we do not adopt outside of Colorado.    May 23, 2025, 8:30 am
