Story
Simba has spent too long waiting for his forever family. 💔 This strong and spirited Akita-Husky mix is full of energy, loves his toys, and is happiest on long walks or playing with his human. He’s sweet, loyal, and ready for the right home. If you’re looking for a dog with personality and heart, Simba is waiting to meet you! 🐕 Adopt Simba: https://form.jotform.com/221926016430144 Full profile: Simba is a 6-8-year-old Akita-Husky mix with the personality of an Akita and the heart of a lion. He’s playful, sweet, and full of energy but needs a confident and strong adopter who understands his needs. 💪 Strength & Training: Simba is powerful and can pull when excited, so he needs someone physically capable of managing his strength. He’s learning commands like sit, down, paw, and “potty” and thrives with structure. A harness might help with his pulling. 🐾 Energy & Personality: Simba is not always a couch potato! He loves long walks (2+ miles is no problem), playing with his toys, and getting plenty of attention. He’s affectionate and cuddly but always ready for adventure. 🏡 Home Needs: Simba would do best in a home without small children due to his strength and energy. He’s good with other dogs, especially more timid ones, but does best with boundaries around toys and space. He’s also quite the counter-surfer, so keeping things out of reach is key! 🐕 Health: Simba has a thyroid condition that is managed with treatment, giving him renewed energy and playfulness. Simba has had a lot of love and care from his foster, but he’s ready to find his forever home. If you’re looking for a strong, loyal, and playful companion, Simba could be your perfect match. 💙 Ready to meet Simba? Apply to adopt him and give this big-hearted boy the home he deserves. 📌 Share to help Simba find his forever home Currently being cared in Southern California, but can be transported up to northern states, such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and anywhere within the US continental, if a great suitable family is willing to adopt him.

Athena is a sweet, older Akita with a calm and gentle demeanor. She enjoys a quieter lifestyle and would do best in a home that appreciates her relaxed, affectionate nature. She would be a wonderful match for someone seeking a mature,, easygoing dog. Athena is recommended for a family without children or with kids at least 10 years of age, and if considered for a multi-dog household, a meet at the shelter will be required prior to departure to be sure that Athena is relaxed and open to her new friend.

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: Transferred from Humane Society of Pikes Peak at 10 weeks old. Litter of 7 was surrendered by owner, who stated that a stray dog got into his yard and got his dog pregnant. Six of the puppies were mostly healthy, though underweight, and Spot was is poor condition with potential ruptured globes and eyelids barely open, extremely underweight. Shelter requested to transfer him separately as a result. Mom dog was reported by owner as Akita, dad as lab. Name at intake was Lemon, foster calls him Spot. UPDATE: Spot's examination revealed significant scarring and iris adhesions in the right eye, likely from a previous corneal perforation. This limits his field of view in that eye but does not cause blindness. The left eye has mild, resolving cloudiness (puppy dystrophy) that is not affecting his vision. No treatment is required at this time. Future monitoring of his eye pressures is recommended. From the foster: My bio is coming soon! www.coloradopuppy.org/how-to-adopt

Story
Meet Rosie-Roo, a gentle noodle of a puppy who is only getting more confident by the day. Once she feels safe, her shell melts away to reveal a playful, curious, and deeply affectionate girl. She loves wrestling with her foster sibling and has plenty of energy for fun, turning into an absolute goofball with a heart of gold.  While she’s a social butterfly, she also takes her downtime just as seriously. She is a "professional snuggler" who loves nothing more than curling up on the couch with people she trusts after a long day. She is a joy to have around the house because she is so eager to please. A total foodie, she will do just about anything for treats, making her a star student for your future training.  She’s 100% potty trained, knows how to sit, lay down, “off” and shake, and so far, loves to go on hikes (very short, flat, long lead hikes)  With a pocket full of treats and cuddles to share, you’ll have a loyal, confident and fun-loving companion for life.   ##2634975##

Story
Remi is a handsome Husky with a sweet nature and a little independent streak. He enjoys affection but also appreciates doing his own thing—classic Husky charm! Remi would do best in a home with older kids who can respect his space. With other dogs, he has a pushy play style and may do best with confident canine friends or thoughtful introductions. If you’re looking for a striking, smart companion with personality to spare, Remi might be your guy* Older children recommended

Story
Meet Spike! This playful yet laid back little guy is the perfect mix of independent and affectionate. He is happy to snooze on his own or romp around with his brother and sister in his foster home. Spike was the first of his litter to befriend his big foster sister, and he is already a huge fan of fetch. You will often find him proudly strutting through the house with a tennis ball in his mouth. Spike is picking up potty training quickly and already understands that outside is the place to go. He loves his outdoor time and is doing great sleeping through the night in a cozy puppy pile with his siblings. Spike would thrive as a solo pup or as a wonderful addition to a home with other dogs. ##2654486##
