Story
Personality and AffectionDuncan has been with me only a short time, and every day brings something new to enjoy—whether it is a skill he has learned or another part of his personality shining through. He is a handsome, affectionate boy who loves people and will happily be your shadow. He enjoys belly rubs, pets of all kinds, and may even climb into your lap if invited. Energy and Activity NeedsAs a high-energy puppy, Duncan needs plenty of activity and enrichment to keep him happy and out of trouble. Because his enthusiasm may cause him to knock over small children, a home without young children would likely be the best fit. He gets excited when greeting people and may jump up; we are working on this behavior, and his new family should continue reinforcing calm greetings. Potty TrainingDuncan is making excellent progress with potty training. He does not yet signal when he needs to go outside, so when I am not working, I take him out every 10–15 minutes and praise him with pets and a cheerful “good boy” when he finishes outside. While I work from home, he stays in the laundry room behind a gate separating it from the kitchen. He has not had an accident there since his first day and has not needed the pee pad provided. Other PetsDuncan currently lives with two resident dogs and gets along very well with them. He loves to play and would likely thrive with a younger dog whose energy matches his own. He also lives with two cats. Although he is curious about them and may chase the kitten in an attempt to play, he responds to a firm “uh-uh” or “leave it.” Any interactions with cats should be supervised. TrainingWe are currently practicing the following cues:SitOffUh-uhLeave itHow reliably Duncan responds depends on his level of excitement. Consistency and patience will be essential as he continues learning. Crate and Sleep RoutineDuncan sleeps in his crate and has slept through the night. At times, he wakes and whines for a few minutes, but a calm “hush” usually helps him settle back to sleep. Covering the crate with an old sheet at night also seems to help him relax. His typical bedtime is between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m., and he gets up between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m. ##2819969##

Story
Meet Chelsea! If you are looking for a lovable, treat-motivated companion who is eager to please, look no further. Chelsea is a resilient girl who is soaking up everything the "good life" has to offer. I am the definition of a "work in progress" in the best way possible! I’ve already mastered "sit" and am currently working hard on "down" and "come." While everything in the neighborhood is still a bit new and sparkly to me, I am becoming braver every day. I’m learning fast! I just had my first zero-accident day, and I’m very proud of myself. I prefer to be near my people. If my crate is in the bedroom, I settle in beautifully for a full 8 hours of sleep. I might give a tiny whimper for a minute at bedtime, but once I have my "night-night treat," I’m a mellow girl until my 6:00 AM potty break. I am VERY treat-motivated. I’m currently (still) learning that kitchen counters aren't for me and that I don’t need to eat my dinner in record time. On walks, I’m a "stop and smell the roses" kind of girl. I can be a little timid when I see other dogs or loud bikes, but my foster mom says I’m very brave—if you show me a treat, I can politely sit and watch them pass by or walk right on through. I haven't met cats or young children yet, but I absolutely adore the young adults in my foster home. My perfect family would be:  Patient & Loving: Someone ready to continue my leash and potty training. Active: I have good energy and love several long walks a day followed by a deep snuggle. A "People" Person: I love being with my humans. While I’m working on my independence, I’d love a home where I’m not alone for long stretches right away. I promise to reward your time and training with a lifetime of snuggles and loyalty. I’m just a sweet girl looking for someone to show me the ropes and provide some clear boundaries!  ##2627770##

Maizey turned 8 years old around July 4th, 2026. She was adopted from Lifeline Puppy Rescue. She is the best dog. She does bark to alert because of her breed, heeler mix. Otherwise she is a great listener. Low maintenance dog and 45 lbs. My life circumstances don’t allow me to give her the time that she deserves. Looking for a loving home that she can get the attention she deserves.

Blue is a great dog. Very loyal. She is 8 years old and needs a calm, loving home. She loves short walks (she gets tired), loves to be loved on, and is sweet. She isn't a fan of small kids or small dogs; I think they scare her. But she has a large-breed companion today. Blue loves to be in the yard, rolling around and getting dirty! She does bark at other dogs walking by, more of a way to say hi. We need to relocate her because my husband has cancer, and with his treatments and 4 kids, it is a lot to handle. Blue has been a lovely addition to this family since she was 9 weeks old.

We have had Nova since she was 1 (she is now 10). She has been a great addition to our family. However, our kids are leaving our home and we can't exercise her as much as she needs. She would do great in a home with kids that like to play fetch. She loves to play fetch! She knows many commands, is very obedient, and well trained. She seems to be indifferent to other dogs. Her shots are up to date. I have her medical records available if you need them.

Story
Meet Patches!  Calling all Blue Heeler lovers — this one's for you! Patches is the epitome of happy-dog vi bes and impish cuteness. He's about 3 years old but plays like a 1-year-old, which tracks for the breed! Patches is ALL about toys and playing. He loves other dogs, loves his people, loves snuggling, and turns every walk or hike into an adventure. He's kennel trained (not his favorite, but a treat makes it just fine), doing well with his basic obedience, and ready to keep learning with the right family. He needs a home with a tall, fenced, large yard and an active family who'll make him part of the fun. As a true herding pup, he loves "escorting" his fellow housemates — dogs and kitties alike! He'd especially love another playful pup to romp around with, plus people who know and love everything that makes Heelers so special. Patches does startle at new things, but once he learns they're okay, he's all in. After a rough start to life, he's soaking up his second chance and ready to make some lucky family very happy.  Apply to meet or adopt this boy at eapl.com!  His adoption fee is $375 September 6, 2026, 11:43 am

Story
I got Milli Nova in 2020 as a puppy, she has been with me ever since. Within the last year I have started a new career making it impossible for me to be there for her the way she needs. She was staying with family for a while but that unfortunately has come to and end due to some personal reasons. Milli is the most loving, playful, faithful dog out there. She is my baby but I just want the best for her. She enjoys hikes, playing fetch, cuddling and bringing you every toy she owns. She really is the sweetest girl and deserves a loving home that can give her the best life possible.

These pups are in Westminster, Colorado too!

Story
Mr Oreo cookie is a mini Aussie. He is about 28 lbs. He is a smart dog and loves to come up a cuddle with loved ones. He is great on a leash and I usually let him decide which route we take on our walks. I can trust him outside in the yard without being tied up. He is 8.5 years old. I can’t say enough good about him. He has a mate that is in the picture with him. Sugar plum is her name. They are so good together I would love someone to be able to take both. It tears my heart to have to rehome these two. I’ve had a couple of family members pass and now have health issues and am having to move. I hope there is someone that is wanting to have two wonderful dogs in their life. This really is one of the hardest things Ive ever had to do. Praying for their new next owners to fall in love with him too.

This is beautiful Sugar Plum in all her best shots. She is a very affectionate dog. She is good with cats but can get jealous and tries to move them along so you can focus on her. She has never bit the cats but kind of herds them away. She did have favorite cat that she really liked. She is really food focused so you have to monitor her intake or she will eat whatever is in front of her. She doesn’t bark very much other than to say I want in or out. She doesn’t bark very do a really cool howl when she is happy and excited. It’s a treat when she does it. She needs a lot of brushing.she also like to put her feet or foot in the water dish at times. Her mate is in one of the pics with her. His name is Oreo. I’m really hoping to find someone who is able to take both, they really get along together. I am heartbroken at having to rehome these two. Hardest thing ever but due to some tragedy in my family and some health issues I am having to move. Praying for their next home to be a good one.
