Story

Cody is a 5 year old pit/schnauzer mix. We’ve had him since he was 6 weeks old. He has been such a wonderful dog for our family. He’s been around babies, young children and other dogs his entire life, he is gentle and loves everyone. Unfortunately my son has become severely allergic to him so we need to find him a new, amazing home. Cody also has allergies himself. For the last 3 years, we’ve tried all traditional treatments (allergy shots, prescription and over the counter medications, immunotherapy etc.), however, traditional treatment has not helped Cody and we’re still on the journey to get him fully feeling better. He’s on a special raw diet and takes supplements which have made a very positive difference in healing his body. It is so, so important that he goes to a home with someone who can keep up his natural treatment. Cody loves to walk and play, his safe space is in his kennel or anywhere he can cuddle up with you or other dogs. He truly is the best dog!

Story

Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Fenway finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Fenway | 8-year-old mixed breed | The Goofy Gentleman Fenway is an 8-year-old mix of many breeds, and he’s perfected the balance of being a true gentleman with just the right touch of goofy charm. At a compact 40 pounds, he’s the ideal size for couch snuggles, leisurely road trips, or riding shotgun with his head on the center console, keeping watch over every mile. Though Fenway’s journey included some shuffling around before he landed in his foster home, he’s shown nothing but resilience and heart. Once he feels safe and learns the routine, his little tail starts wagging more often, and his signature “Yoda ears” never fail to make people smile. He’s a mellow, low-to-medium energy guy who enjoys lounging nearby, taking laid-back strolls, and napping his way through your workday. Fenway comes with a long list of highlights: he’s almost fully house-trained with excellent manners, crate-trained (though he much prefers free roam—and has earned the privilege), and good on leash. Walks are a joy for him, even if he occasionally pauses to investigate an irresistible scent. A quick “come” usually gets him back on track, unless a squirrel decides to stare him down. While he can politely coexist with other dogs in public, Fenway prefers to keep his castle to himself and would do best as the only dog in his home. He loves people—both men and women—but like the dignified gentleman he is, he appreciates calm introductions and not being startled from his naps. Kids and cats haven’t been tested yet, but he’d likely thrive in a peaceful home without a lot of hustle and bustle. Fenway has some charming quirks: he makes soft, groany “songs” when he’s content, offers his paw for attention, flops over for belly rubs with gusto, and tucks his front legs under in what his foster calls his “seal pose.” He isn’t much for toys, but squirrels are a different story. He’s also food motivated (salmon is his favorite!) and is picking up commands like “wait” for meals and “go home” for his crate. When Fenway first arrived, he was recovering from a painful ear infection, which understandably made him cautious. Since starting treatment, he’s relaxed, shown his affectionate side, and become more comfortable with gentle approaches—especially when he’s sleeping or approached from his right side. He may get vocal when left alone but settles down once he realizes all is well. Fenway’s ideal home is a calm, steady one where he can feel safe, loved, and appreciated for the wonderful companion he is. He’s not asking for much - just someone who will enjoy his mellow vibe, laugh at his quirky poses, and give him space to continue blossoming into the loyal, snuggly buddy he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a faithful companion for lazy mornings, Netflix marathons, and quiet evenings, Fenway might just be your guy. If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls. PLEASE NOTE: The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter. Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets. Here is some interesting info on breed identification: https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online. We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting. Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member! September 23, 2025, 3:47 pm

Story

This dog is a courtesy listing and not one of our dogs. Please contact the email listed in this post. For more information about Roscoe, contact Autriana Crowley at Autriana@outlook.com or 720-252-0327 Hi! My name's Roscoe and I am estimated to be around 2 years old. I have been though somewhat of a hard time for my first 2 years of life, but I don't let that get me down! I am hoping a loving and patient person can take me in and give me all the love and cuddles I want to give to them! I am gentle and friendly/safe with puppies, dogs, and babies. I am a love bug who just wants to cuddle and stay besides my favorite people. I would love to be in a home where positive reinforcement is the rule, and no physical corrections or yelling is frequently used as my past has made me a little sensitive to those things. I am fully vaxed neutered and chipped. Shoot my foster a message if you're interested in meeting me! * Roscoe has a past of heavy neglect so households where he will be left alone for long periods of time are not optimal. Roscoe is also very ractive to other dogs when on walks. Roscoe would either need very heavy training to handle this reactivity, or he would most likely do best where he has free access to a yard and can alert when he sees people nearby.

Story

This dog is a courtesy listing and not one of our dogs. Please contact the email listed in this post. If you are interested in this dog, please contact Cate at 970-471-0963 Snacks (short for Saranac) is a 6–7 year old, 100 lb Pitbull mix with a heart as big as he is. Rescued from a shelter in Kansas when he was about a year old, he’s grown into the most loyal, goofy, and gentle companion. His favorite things in the world are cuddles on the couch, spending time with his humans, and enjoying quiet outdoor adventures. Snacks is neutered, fully vaccinated, house-trained, and knows his basic commands. He’s healthy (despite having lost some teeth in a run-in with a rock on a hike!) and has so much love left to give. Unfortunately, he has gotten out of his yard a few times and had several altercations with neighbor dogs. These incidents have made it clear that he needs an environment where he won’t be stressed by frequent dog encounters. His current family is heartbroken, but know that finding him the right home is the best choice for Snacks and for everyone’s safety. Why You’ll Love Him: · Loves all humans — strangers included · Amazing with kids (currently lives with a 1 & 4 year old) · Big cuddlebug and total couch potato · Enjoys the outdoors, quiet walks, and being by your side What He Needs: · Experienced owner who can manage his leash reactivity (he struggles walking past other dogs and because of this walks are easier in calm or rural areas) · Secure fenced yard where he can safely enjoy outside time · A home where he won’t be constantly triggered by dogs passing by · Gets along with dog-friendly pups only after an experienced owner can give a proper intro. He lived with a dog for several years. · No cats Snacks is located in Breckenridge, CO, but his current family is willing to travel to help Snacks find his perfect home.October 13, 2025, 9:12 pm

Story

Scooby Doo is 5 years old and loves the outside like most dogs and will spend every moment sniffing everything if you let him. He struggles with stairs, but can do them if you're patient and don't rush him. I need to find him a new home because I recently can't give him the time he deserves. He isnt the best with meeting new people especially men. If you have treats, then he will warm up to you pretty quick. He's a great dog and deserves a loving home. He'll make a great companion.

Lady Nesbit Sweetington

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 2 yrs 8 mos

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Name: Lady Nesbit Sweetington Breed: Pitbull Mix Sex: Spayed Female Age: 2 years Weight: 49 lbs Good with dogs? Yes, with proper introduction. Good with cats? Yes, her prior foster said she was good with a cat after a slow introduction. Good with kids? Lady Nesbit Sweetington was gentle when she met a baby, showing her sweet side. Because of her playful (and sometimes bouncy!) energy, she may be better suited for a home with older children who can match her zest and give her space when she’s excited. Energy level: She’s the best of both worlds! Lady Nesbit Sweetington has a joyful, high-energy play style; she loves to romp, zoom, and be silly but also knows how to settle down and become your favorite snuggly couch potato. Medical/Behavioral needs: Lady Nesbit Sweetington has allergies that cause some hair loss around her eyes. To keep her comfortable, she receives Cytopoint injections (50 mg) about every 6 weeks (approx. $70–$100 per injection) and can also take diphenhydramine (Benadryl, 50 mg as needed). She does best on a no-poultry diet, which helps manage her symptoms. Ongoing care will include routine follow-up with your veterinarian to keep her feeling her best. Animal Characteristics: Introducing Lady Nesbit Sweetington, the perfect blend of sweetness, silliness, and snuggles! This affectionate girl lights up every room she enters with her wiggly joy and big, loving heart. One minute she’s zooming around in pure delight, and the next she’s curled up next to you, soaking in every bit of affection. She’s friendly with dogs (with a proper introduction), has done well with a cat, and even showed her gentle side around a baby. Because of her playful bounce, she’d thrive with older kids who can join her in the fun and give her space when she’s feeling extra wiggly. She’s eager to find her forever family who will laugh at her goofy antics, enjoy cozy cuddles, and love her just as she is Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at www.pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process.

This happy girl loves her people and wants nothing more than to be part of your everyday adventures (and your couch naps afterward).
