Plott Hound puppies and dogs in Boulder, Colorado

Meet our sweet, spunky boy who is ready to steal your heart and fill your home with joy! This friendly little guy absolutely thrives on attention and will happily be your shadow, especially if a walk is involved. He has a big personality and isn`t afraid to use his voice to let you know how excited he is to see you or when it`s time for a stroll around the neighborhood. Because he can be a bit vocal, he would do best in a living situation—like a single-family home—where his expressive nature won`t disturb close neighbors. If you are looking for an active, loving companion who will always keep you entertained, this wonderful pup is the perfect match for you!

Milo looks like someone shrunk a hound down to a much more convenient size. At around 18 months old and only 30 lbs, he has the classic hound look without the classic hound volume. Milo isn't a loud or particularly vocal dog. He is incredibly sweet, easygoing, and low maintenance. Milo has a naturally submissive personality with other dogs and gets along great with them. He's also great with cats, making him an easy addition to a home with other animals. Milo is a chill little guy who doesn't need constant activity or entertainment to be happy. Give him some love, a comfortable place to hang out, and a family to call his own, and he's pretty content with life. Good fit: someone looking for a sweet, quiet, low-maintenance companion who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and cats. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport.

Meet Louise! Louise is a beautiful 3.5-year-old, 50-pound sweetheart who's ready to find the family she's been waiting for. She arrived at the shelter with another dog, who was quickly adopted, leaving Louise patiently hoping her turn would come. This gentle girl is wonderful with other dogs and would love a canine companion, though she'd also be happy soaking up all the love from her people. When meeting new men, Louise appreciates a little time to get comfortable, but once she knows you're a friend, her affectionate personality shines. She quickly blossoms into the biggest cuddle bug and loves being close to her humans. Louise has a soft, loving heart and a calm, gentle nature that makes everyone fall for her. Whether she's snuggled up on the couch, enjoying a walk, or simply keeping you company, she's happiest just being with her people. After spending months waiting in the shelter, Louise is more than ready for a forever home where she can finally relax, be loved, and show just what an incredible companion she is. If you're looking for a loyal best friend with a heart of gold, Louise may be the perfect match.  3.5 years old | Spayed | 50 lbs | Dog-friendly | Professional cuddler ##2782052##

Dizzy is a gentle, playful, loving little low rider!! He has been friendly with all dogs and humans - including children!! He likes to cuddle and take naps, he takes several a day. He knows how to go to the kennel when it's bedtime or time for the family to leave for the day. We are working on potty training! He needs to potty many times a day. His recall is pretty good so far. He does show a little bit of resource guarding but that can be easily fixed. Mostly occurs when he finds a toy, not when sharing food bowls. He plays fine with the bigger dog and seems to take dog corrections well. He is definitely a favorite in our house! ##2841256##

After being found without a permanent home, Merlina was fortunate enough to be welcomed into a loving foster home. Instead of having to wait in a rescue environment, she has been able to experience the comfort and stability of living with a family while she waits for the one thing she still needs—a forever home of her own. Life in foster care has given Merlina the opportunity to show everyone what a wonderful dog she truly is. Merlina is outgoing, loving, and incredibly friendly. She enjoys meeting people and has an open, social personality that makes her easy to connect with. She's the kind of dog who wants to be involved in what's happening around her, whether that's heading out for a walk, spending time outside, playing, or simply relaxing with her people. At approximately two years old, Merlina is at a fantastic age. She has moved beyond the earliest puppy stage while still being young, active, and ready for plenty of adventures. At 35 pounds, she's also a manageable medium size that can fit comfortably into many different lifestyles. Her time in foster care has helped prepare her for family life, but moving into a permanent home will still be a transition. Merlina needs someone willing to give her the patience and consistency every rescue dog deserves while she learns that this time, she's truly home. As a Catahoula Leopard Dog / Terrier Mix, Merlina may have many of the intelligent, energetic, and loyal qualities associated with these breeds. Catahoula's are known for being bright, athletic dogs that form strong bonds with their families, while Terriers often bring confidence, curiosity, and a fun-loving personality. Merlina will benefit from a home that provides both physical activity and opportunities to keep her mind engaged. Merlina would thrive with a family that offers: Plenty of love and companionship Daily walks and regular exercise Positive reinforcement training Interactive toys and mental enrichment Continued socialization Consistent household routines and boundaries Plenty of opportunities to be included in family activities A safe indoor home where she's treated as a cherished member of the family A lifelong commitment Merlina's foster home gave her a safe place to land. Now she's ready for the family who will give her a permanent place to belong. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Living in foster care gives Merlina valuable experience in a home environment, but adopters should remember that every new home brings different people, routines, sounds, expectations, and surroundings. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling comfortable 3 Weeks to understand her new household routine 3 Months to settle in, build trust, and truly feel at home Her future family should be prepared to continue working on any household manners, leash skills, boundaries, or other training she may need. Merlina's intelligence and outgoing personality can make positive reinforcement training a wonderful way to build a relationship with her. Consistency, praise, treats, games, and clear expectations will help her understand what her new family wants from her. She will benefit from: Continued positive reinforcement training Daily walks and physical activity Interactive games and enrichment Consistent routines Continued positive socialization Plenty of family interaction Patience during her transition from foster care With structure, affection, and time to adjust, Merlina has everything she needs to become a wonderful lifelong companion. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Adopting Merlina means making a commitment to care for her throughout every stage of her life. Her future family should be prepared to provide: Routine veterinary wellness examinations Vaccinations as recommended by a veterinarian Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention Routine dental care A nutritious, balanced diet Healthy weight management Daily physical exercise Mental stimulation and enrichment Continued training and socialization Veterinary treatment whenever illness or injury occurs A safe, comfortable indoor home We recommend establishing care with a veterinarian shortly after adoption so Merlina can have an ongoing wellness plan tailored to her individual needs.
