Story
Meet Ronda!Ronda is a sweet, playful gal who may be a little shy at first—but give her a few days, and she’ll blossom into your new best friend. She’s an active pup who loves to run around and is learning to play fetch (though sometimes she gets so excited she forgets to bring the toy back!). Ronda is adjusting wonderfully to life outside the shelter. She’s mostly potty trained and will let you know when she needs to go out, but if she can’t hold it, she’ll use potty pads. She gets so excited to play outside that she sometimes needs a gentle reminder that it’s also potty time. Walks are still a little intimidating for her, but with patience and encouragement, she’s learning that they can be fun. Ronda is a Kelpie mix, though on the smaller side—she may even have some Chihuahua in her. No matter her mix, she’s a lovable, playful companion who is eager to bond with her forever family. She would do best in a home without young children. Slow introductions to other dogs are best, and while she’s still figuring out cats, she knows to leave them alone when told. Ronda can’t wait to meet her perfect match. Come see her at an adoption event—she just might steal your heart! ##2461439##

Story
Hello, I'm Ronan Ronan, is a loving, cuddly, shy in new situations guy who is looking for a human that will be patient as he adjust to new situations who will then blossom into the most loyal companion. Ronan is great in his kennel at the events. He doesn’t bark and waits perfectly for volunteers to take him for walks. He is around 30 lbs and will not get any bigger.  He loves going for walks but still a little nervous in new surroundings. I am a medium to high energy guy, but also love to be held and cuddled.    Ronan is good with other dogs and still trying to figure out the cats, but knows to leave them alone with told.  He is working on his manners and may jump when excited, so would need to be watched around younger children. If you’re ready for unconditional love, and a lifetime of adventures come meet Ronan and find your new best friend! ##2461435##

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, including information on history, vaccines, etc.  Please contact his family by  email or phone  Ejchadwick97@gmail.com  or 970-692-3022    Looking to rehome our little buddy! Archie is a sweet 2-year-old Kelpie mix weighing about 30 lbs. He's very affectionate and great with larger dogs, but we've learned he's not the best fit for our home with toddlers. He tends to get annoyed and overwhelmed by little ones and will accidentally knock them over when playing.   Archie would do best in a home with children ages 5 and up, or with adults who can give him consistent attention and training. He's energetic and smart, but he does have a few habits that need work - mainly digging and jumping. With time and training, he'll make a wonderful companion. We just don't have the time or resources to give him the structure he needs, and we want to find him a home where he can thrive. He is neutered and has his rabies shots. December 4, 2025, 5:41 pm

Story
Our petite Coney is a special soul, who just wants to be loved by her people. Left abandoned after her family moved, she is ready to find a life partner in adventure, relaxation, and love. She is only 28 pounds and is fully grown, so we put her as a small dog simply so she would not get overlooked. She fits right in between your legs and will snuggle there. She would love to be a lap dog and walks well on a leash. She enjoys playing with other dogs, and is polite about that, though being with people is what she would always prefer, and she would like to be an only dog with doggie friends. She is medium energy, and loves to lie under a desk while you are working or by your feet in the kitchen. She lives with a dog-savvy cat in the foster home and does just fine. She is quite well-behaved and loves her crate as her safe space. Coney has a smile on her face most of the time, and is a gentle soul ready for her forever!

Story
Felix is a beautiful red aussie, approximately 7 to 10 years old. We are helping a veterinary find a home for Felix and his companion Minnie. Felix is aged at 7-10 years old, he is neutered and is more stoic and chill than Minnie, but he gets bouts of the zoomies that are hilarious to witness. Felix is stiff and dominant when meeting other dogs. He is not outright aggressive, by any means, but if a dog challenges him he will respond. Felix is quick to correct Minnie when she is over the top with him, but he is fair and quick in his corrections. Felix knows basic commands as well as a trick or two and loves to show off for treats! Felix is also slightly protective of his food and water -- we believe that is because he is diabetic. Felix is a controlled diabetic and has done VERY well on his insulin. This is a lifelong health issue and he will have to remain on insulin for life. Felix is crate trained and doesn't like to mess in his kennel. He has the walking schedule down and will let us know if we're late. Both dogs were found off highway I-40, just outside of Amarillo Texas. We have done everything possible to find their owners, with no luck, so now they are looking for a new home. I believe Minnie and Felix need to find a home together, preferably with no other dogs, or a very submissive female. We have no idea how they are around kids as this is a vet clinic, but they are both herding breeds and showcase most of the traits. Neither dog has EVER been mouthy towards staff or visitors. Mini is friendly with all people and has done well with controlled meets of other dogs. She did jump at one of our clinic cats, but after the cat slapped her, she decided that avoiding them all was the best course. Minnie is crate trained as she waits quietly until she has to use the bathroom and then she will let us know. Minnie does well on the leash and knows several basic commands. She LOVES her big brother Felix and is a prime example of the Australian Shepherd Breed, in her mannerisms, energy level and desire to be with people.  PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE TO SEE MORE PICS AND VIDEOS https://www.circle2rescue.com/available-pets/ If you would like to adopt, please complete an application  at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $350 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip. The adoption fee for her bonded companion, Felix is included in Minnie's adoption fee. ##2574742##

Story
Pretty as can be with a soft, thoughtful presence — say hello to Nita! New experiences still sparkle with a bit of mystery for this bright young girl: fresh sounds, unfamiliar paths, new people and pups. She prefers to take a moment to observe first, but she is curious and warms up quickly when she can approach on her own terms. Once she decides you’re part of her circle, her tail loosens into a happy rhythm and her trust unfurls in a lovely, steady way. Nita gains confidence from other dogs, so she’ll thrive in a home with a canine companion. She’s already nailed the essentials — easy leash walking, excellent house manners, knows how to use a door, and the cozy art of being a beloved family member. She’s smart, eager, and picking up new skills and confidence with surprising speed. In addition to another friendly dog, Nita will need a securely fenced yard and a family who gives her just a bit more time to ease into new environments. She doesn’t need anything extraordinary — just the space and patience to settle in and discover how good life can be. Nita’s story began on an Indian Reservation. After her owner passed away, she and several other dogs were rescued and given a fresh start. Now Nita is ready for her own forever home. She’s estimated to be around 10 months old and roughly 35 pounds. Likely an Australian Shepherd / Australian Cattle Dog mix — and, as with many rez dogs, almost certainly a beautiful blend of many hardy, healthy breeds.

Story
Hi, I’m Cedar. I used to be a rez dog but now I’ve been given a second chance at a safe, fun life. I’ve already discovered that this new life is pretty wonderful! I’m a kind, gentle girl searching for my best friend—my human. I’ll be polite with others, but my heart and focus will always be on you. I don’t need constant attention from everyone we meet, just a person (or people) to call my own. I’m fine sharing a home with other dogs, but it’s not a requirement—what I truly hope for is a human who wants me as their companion, someone who will see me as their best friend too. I get along with my foster siblings, but I’ll be honest—sometimes my foster brother tries to bug me into playing, and it gets a little annoying. I do best with other dogs who like outdoor adventures and don’t need constant playtime at home. I’m sensitive and eager to please, so gentle guidance works best with me. If you use kind words and positive reinforcement—praise, happy voices, claps, and “good girl!”—I’ll shine. I pick things up quickly, and encouragement builds my confidence. Even a simple “off” or “down” is all I need to listen right away—I never want to disappoint you. I’d love to go on walks, hikes, and adventures, or just be part of your daily life. The more time I get to spend with you, the happier I’ll be. I’m quiet, smart, and ready to learn how to fit into this new lifestyle. I’ll roll over for belly rubs, stretch out for a massage, or curl up at your feet. I’m crate-trained and do well there, though I won’t need it for long. And yes, I’ve got my own little quirks—but only the kind that will make you smile. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle best friend who will love you with her whole heart, I’m right here waiting. Best guess on my age is about 1.5 years and I'm 35 to 40 pounds. Love, Cedar   **** Cedar is out of town until Dec 1st.  If you would like to adopt, please complete an application  at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $325 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   ##2486146##
