Story
Such a wiggly boy! Once comfortable in his environment, Bubala likes to show off his big smile and loves attention from his favorite people. Bubala has been playful with other likeminded dogs at the shelter. This boy loves his treats, and he is eager to learn. He already knows sit, shake, and down!Bubala's experiences before he was found as a stray are unknown, and at this time Foothills recommends a home with older or no children as he weathers the transitional stress of getting settled into a new life routine.Bubala has become a favorite dog to walk by our volunteers. They tell us Bubala is an energetic and enthusiastic walking buddy, is friendly to folks he sees, sits politely for treats and enjoyed the winter sport of playing in the snow. Now with the warmer weather approaching, you might find him appreciating the opportunity to romp outside and enjoy the smells or perhaps wanting to jump into the water and roll in the sand! And in an enclosed area, he excels at doing zoomies! Primary Color: Cream Weight: 75 Age: 4yrs 1mths 4wks

Petunia is ready to leave the shelter behind and find a quiet home that will give her time and space to decompress and come out of her shell. Petunia is a young girl and still learning, and she will appreciate a family who is patient with her while she learns the ropes. For her comfort, Petunia is recommended for families with older or no children. Primary Color: Tan Weight: 47.4 Age: 0yrs 11mths 2wks

Though Queenie has experience sharing her previous home with other dogs, some of those interactions were believed to be quite stressful so she may feel most relaxed in a home with one or two other welcoming dogs her size or as the only dog in her next home.

Cam Courtesy Listing

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Evergreen, CO
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
All people inquiring about pets listed as Courtesy Listings on the EAPL website and/or EAPL posting adoption boards should contact the current pet owner/rescue/shelter for answers to any questions and for final approval and placement. Please do not contact EAPL  about courtesy listings. The pet owner/rescue/shelter and new owner shall make all arrangements on transferring the pet, information on history, vaccines, etc.  Cam is a neutered, 6.5 yr old, AmStaff/AmBully/Lab mix. He is house trained and is a very gentle, patient, soft-mouthed, silly, and nervous boy who is very loved in his current home. Unfortunately, he lives with a littermate brother who does not appreciate him. We've been managing the two boys for quite some time, keeping them separated, but Cam is getting more and more stressed living in our home. His brother is not a candidate for rehoming. We've worked with our vet, a trainer and a vet behaviorist and so far we have not seen enough improvement in Cam's quality of life to continue the way things are. It breaks my heart to have to rehome Cam, and many tears have been shed, but it is not fair to have him continue to live his life this way.    Cam LOVES playing hide-n-seek, defluffing toys, mining for squeakers and chasing leaf shadows in the backyard. He walks wonderfully on leash, and readily accepts training, though isn't the most food-motivated dog. He may do best as a single dog due to some reactivity that has developed along with his issues with his brother. Though, a smaller dog could be a good fit - he currently does very well with our shih-tzu. He has a high prey drive, so probably wouldn't do well with cats. He is fearful of new people at first, but warms up very quickly. He is ok with baths, but hates having his nails trimmed. His new home would ideally be with someone who has experience with dogs, is home a good bit and can offer a relaxed atmosphere - someone who appreciates the sensitive souls that pitties are. I am charging a $250 rehoming fee simply to avoid horrible people with bad intentions. If you are not a horrible person and are interested in learning more about Cam, please email Shannon at ketriblue@gmail.com.   May 2, 2024, 4:31 pm

Story
Kane is a playful, sweet, motivated, trainable, energetic boy! He has come so far in his training and work.  He knows basic obedience (sit, stay, down, place, wait, thresholds, crate manners, etc) but will need proofing of those behaviors, as he is still a young puppy who is learning! Kane’s foster has a training video she can send to applicants that he really shines in! Kane is still learning leash manners and how to behave in the big outside world, as most puppies are.    He does well with structure and boundaries along with lots of love and treats.  He is potty-trained and crate-trained.    Kane has lots of puppy energy and breed needs that will need training and direction, but he will be a glorious dog for the right home! We have been using a flirt pole to harness that drive, and he’s obsessed.    He has been learning how to relax and have calm energy and has been progressing amazingly.  Kane has been able to meet and play with a couple of dogs but does have an assertive, energetic, pittie play style.  He might do best in a single dog household or with another dog who is playful & tolerant and willing to do slow introductions.    But he sure does LOVE to play, and so the right doggie friend might be perfect.    He is like a weighted blanket when cuddling, is a sloppy-floppy-sleeper, is a sucker for good chin scratches, and all around just wants to connect with you and be the best boy.  He will thrive in the right home without a doubt!  He does demonstrate a prey-drive so no smaller pets or cats are recommended at this time. Kane is suited for older children, but not children under 10.  His adoption is $375.

Story
The nose! Bull terrier lovers will appreciate Bart for being everything the breed is affectionately known for. At home with his previous family Bart was described as fond of people and easy to live with, and unfond of dogs he didn't know.In the shelter, Bart is frustrated and bored, and a little more mouthy in his play style than we expect him to be once home and settled with a family.Because Bart can be fussy about most other dogs we recommend him for a single dog household, and though he has had friendships with children in the past during this trigger stacked time in his life is likely to be most successful in an adult only household.

Story
Sao is a well-traveled pup who has visited a few countries. He's a laid-back dog who enjoys napping in the sun or on a soft cushion. He's a bit of a couch potato, so long walks aren't his favorite. He does have a playful side that comes out, especially when he's outside! Sao is looking for a loving home without other dogs, but he gets along well with cats and kids. He loves a good ear scratch and is originally from Peru. Sao has short hair, doesn't bark inside, and can be trained to potty in a specific area of the yard. He has skin tags that can be removed but are not necessary to remove. His family is relocating abroad.
