Story
Gizmo was rescued from the streets of Texas where he was dumped by his previous owner. He languished there for a few months while a kind woman fed him eash day but was not able to take him in. Circle 2 Rescue stepped up to save this handsome boy and quickly got him to a vet. At his vet appointment we learned that Gizmo is heart worm positive. The treatment will be covered by the rescue. In his temporary foster home, Gizmo has been an absolute delight! His foster mom introduced him to the neighbor's puppy and Gizmo was so patient and well behaved, even though Gizmo was playing with his ball and the puppy was jumping all over him. Gizmo showed remarkable patience. He has been kind and respectiful of her young kids with closely supervised encounters and is well behaved in the house. His foster mom said he is a dream on leash and he loves to play fetch, even bringing the ball back to you! (this was before we knew he was hw positive). He is so happy and excited to see his foster mom when she returns from work each day from her teaching job. She said he makes her heart feel happy. These things indicate the Gizmo was likely a beloved family pet at one point in his life and he must have been so confused at being abandoned. But he hasn't let his hardship affect his happy attitude. This boy is a love!!  His heartworm treatment is not complicated but involves about 3 vet visits over the course of 3 months.  Gizmo weighs 52 pounds but needs to gain a few pounds. Whilte the vet was not certain of Gizmo's age, he said he is "more than 5 years old" so he could be 5 or he could be 8 or 9 years old. We will try to get a more definitive age for him. If you would like to adopt, please complete an application  at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   Please note, Circle 2 Rescue cannot guarantee the breed, composition or ages of our dogs as we usually have limited history prior to them entering the rescue.  ##2304740##

Story
Meet Gretel:A Shy (but gaining confidence every day) Beauty with a Heart of Gold! Gretel is a stunning pup with a captivating personality that matches her striking good looks!Rescued alongside her siblings from a tough situation in Houston, Gretel has proven resilient, affectionate, and ready to embark on her next big adventure—a loving forever home. With her dazzling pale green eyes, sleek fawn coat, and irresistibly floppy ears, Gretel turns heads everywhere she goes.Her DNA has been tested and she is 100% American Pitbull Terrier.Gretl is approx. one year old and weighs a whopping 35 pounds – a true pocket pitty!Gretel exudes a semi-shy but curious demeanor. She continues to come out of her shell at her foster home and is truly becoming a Colorado dog.She is really starting to enjoy going on hikes, is becoming wildlife aware (but doesn’t chase any), and is finding out how enjoyable life off the end of a leashreally is.  Her recall is amazing, will constantly check in, and when she does get tired, will walk right at your heel even without being asked.Her foster mom says she does not have a mean bone in her body and is working hard at getting braver everyday.  She is oh so smart and eager to learn and has already learned sit, down, wait, leave-it, off, come and let’s go.She loves to snuggle with her foster siblings (dogs) and gets along with them well and other dogs out and about.  She loves to initiate play with her foster siblings.  Her foster mom said it is comical to watch and listen to her squeaky bark when she wants to play along with the way she bounces up and down on all 4s as if she can’t contain her excitement. She is great at tuning into the other dogs’ demeanor and will leave them alone if they dont want to play. She is also super at self-entertaining.  Gretl is a sweet petite girl looking for a snuggle partner both human and dog.  She would probably be ok with cats as she is on the submissive side. If she can handle her spicy chihuahua mix foster sister with no problem, cats should be easy.Are you ready to welcome this green-eyed beauty into your life? Gretel is waiting to meet her perfect match—could it be you?Gretl is being fostered in Colorado Springs. If you would like to adopt, please complete an application  at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   Please note, Circle 2 Rescue cannot guarantee the breed, composition or ages of our dogs as we usually have limited history prior to them entering the rescue.  ##2246667##

Appa is 3 years old and still has a lot of puppy energy. He loves to snuggle and play with his toys. He does not like to be left alone and does cry sometimes when he is left alone. He needs a home with a yard and an active human who can take him for long runs each day. In our experience he loves to be around kids too and has made more than one friend this way. He knows several commands and is currently working on leash training. He has lived in both a house with a yard and a walk up condo, but does struggle with being left alone for more than a couple hours.

Story
Ginny is a super sweet girl who we have had since July 2024! She came to us as a stray dog who spent the first 1.5(ish) years of her life on the streets and she has been spoiled rotten ever since. Ginny loves every human and dog that she meets but is not cat-friendly. She loves to sit outside to watch the trees and the squirrels, and will gladly cuddle with you any day or night. She is house trained and knows the commands sit, wait, and come, and walks well on leash and off leash. Her ideal home would be either an only-pet home with humans that are home bodies and able to give her constant love and enrichment or a home with another doggy friend she can play with when she wants to.

Story
Mac is a fun and loving 3-year-old pup who is in need of a good home. Unfortunately, he has dealt with a lot of changes in his environment, which has not been ideal for him. Mac is energetic and would thrive in a home where he has a yard to run off his steam and play keep-away or tug-o-war. He is also needing a home where he is a solo dog, he does not get along with every dog and along with that not sure how his interactions will be around kids. Although he is a small pittie, he underestimates his strength and weight and could knock kiddoes over. I want to find him the best home possible and it tears me up having to rehome him, but his current living situation has not been good for him. All shots are up to date and he is neutered. If you are interested, please reach out and I will be happy to meet with him. Ideally I would like to see the environment he could potentially be moving to so I can ensure he has the best living situation possible.
