Story
Jessica is a 4 yrs old, 75 lbs, Akbash mix. She is very sweet with people of all ages, good with other dogs and enjoys guarding livestock. This girl can be a family pet (with a secure fenced yard and without cats), but she would also love to be on another sheep or goat ranch where there are no neighborhood cats. To meet Jess in her Fruita CO home (or meet partway), apply to adopt her at mountainpetrescue.orgMarch 9, 2026, 10:03 am

Story
Kylo Ren is a gentle giant! He will be 5 years old on June 1st. I’ve debated back and forth for so long on whether or not to rehome him. He is a very, very good boy. The only reason we are looking for a new home for him, is because I know the life he has with us is not the best he could have, nor the best he deserves. My husband and I both work full time, and Kylo is in his crate for the majority of the day. He does go to daycare 2x every other week at The Dog Ranch in Berthoud but I can’t afford that every day.Kylo does shed quite a bit, he barks (he’s a guardian dog for sure), and occasionally digs in the yard. But he is a lover, he loves to snuggle and be petted. He is good with dogs, he is good with cats (he wants to play with them- whether or not the cat will like that is another story), and good with children. Sometimes he doesn’t realize his size and will knock my toddler over while playing.

Story
This is Alaska my beautiful fluffy teddy bear. Hes about 8 years old husky Pyrenees mix and 87 lbs of fur. I adopted him in August of 2024 from Denver animal shelter. I went to adopt this all white husky but decided he was too much puppy. So im comes Alaska this gentle giant sat in my lap and chose me. The shelter said he was an owner surrender because he attacked and killed a rooster. He is pretty perfect on walks. He doesn't pay the other dogs attention. He even has great recal. Alaska is really the best rescue you could have. He's friendly with kids,cats,dogs anyone one really. I call him an attention whore. He does have a little resource guarding so I recommend feeding him seperatly. Very sensitive to having feet touched.Very food motivated. Alaska is a big baby. Is afraid of fireworks, bright lights, loud beeping noises, fire and a few other things.Sadly some horrible things have happened and we have to go to an apartment which is NOT fair for a dog his size. He deserves space.
