Story
Meet Bohdi! This energetic guy is looking for someone who can give him the enrichment, outdoor time, and companionship he desires. Volunteers describe Bohdi as starting out a bit timid on walks, but once he's outside, his confidence blooms. He settles into a calm, steady walk, stays attentive, and takes treats with the gentlest little nibble. With a bit of reassurance, he'll lean his whole body in for soft, affectionate petting, soaking up the connection. This energetic guy has previously lived successfully with dogs and would possibly like a friend.If you're looking for a fun and happy boy to take on walks and hikes, then look no further. Meet Bohdi today! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 70.4 Age: 6yrs 0mths 2wks

Story
Some dogs just have a way of quietly finding their way into your heart, and Koa Bear is one of those. We’re looking for a forever home for our 1-year-old American Akita.Koa is a beautiful, sweet, well-tempered boy who is great with kids and loves his people. He’s crate trained, sleeps through the night, potties outside in his designated spot, knows several commands, and is not neutered.His cutest feature? One naturally floppy ear! Both stand when he’s alert, but when he relaxes, one flops down and gives him the sweetest expression. Koa is playful but calm and loves fetch, tug-of-war, walks, exploring, and being included in everything. He’ll come with his crate, bed, bowls, grooming/nail kits, harness, leash, and toys to help make his transition easier.He has SO much love to give and deserves a family of his own. Please message me with questions or if you’re interested in giving Koa his forever home.

Story
Adoption Fee: $475 When available, all animals are fixed in accordance with Colorado law, up to date on vaccines (may need boosters), and microchipped! What we know: Litter of 4 (4.5 months) and mom (2.5 years) surrendered by a family located in CO Springs. Family reached out for help with an accidental litter that they could not keep due to living in a townhome and not having the resources and space these dogs needed. Family is reported to all be purebred Akitas, though we cannot 100% confirm. From the foster: Meet Kiera, a beautiful 2.5-year-old Akita with a teddy-bear face and a heart full of love. After raising her puppies and watching them all find homes, this sweet momma is ready for a forever family of her own. Kiera is loving, well-mannered, and smart. She completed a 3-week training academy, is e-collar trained, and knows commands like heel, sit, down, bed, crate, spin, and wait. Her fosters say she is amazing on walks and a total dream on leash. At home, Kiera is calm, quiet, affectionate, and happy to relax with her people. She sleeps well in her kennel, rarely barks, gives the sweetest kisses, and has a silly side. She loves tossing toys to herself and making her own fun. She would do best as the only dog in the home and would be a great fit for a family with children 10 or older since she can knock little ones down since she is about 65 lbs. Kiera is the perfect mix of gentle, loyal, playful, and well-trained. She has so much love to give and is ready to be someone’s best friend. www.coloradopuppy.org/how-to-adopt

Story
Wolfie is a sociable, energetic boy who loves people and enjoys meeting other dogs, though he can be intimidating at first and may need a confident introduction before he settles in. He’s eager to play and he has a playful streak with water hoses that never fails to bring a smile. He weighs 89 pounds and is approximately 3-4 years old.??Wolfie is still learning the leash. He is learning to come when called and sits nicely when prompted. He is a homebody at heart, but he still needs plenty of exercise to burn off his occasional bursts of energy. He also enjoys walks with his humans.??Located in Houston, Texas. Transport to most states available for an additional fee of $300.
