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
Meet Lady! Lady is a 2-year-old Kelpie/Bloodhound mix with a huge heart and a wicked-smart brain. She came from Dallas and has been thriving in her foster home ever since. Lady is deeply affectionate and bonds quickly, but she’s a little shy at first — especially around hands — and appreciates someone who lets her set the pace early on. Once she trusts you, she’s loyal, loving, and all-in. As a true working-breed mix, Lady is sharp, eager to learn, and loves having a “job.” If it moves, she’ll try to herd it, so she does best with adults and either as an only dog or with dogs who won’t mind her instincts. She absolutely shines with consistent direction, structure, and clear boundaries. Lady’s superpowers: Wicked smart + quick learner Treat-motivated and thrives with positive reinforcement Nose that never quits — she loves scent work and mental games Bonds deeply once she feels safe Lady is also working through a few things: she can be leash reactive, she has some resource-guarding tendencies, and she’s still learning to trust hands. The good news? She responds incredibly well to training and consistency. Her foster family, along with guidance from a trainer, has already given her a strong foundation — especially with her crate, which she now sees as her safe, cozy spot. Lady’s dream home: Adults only A yard for zoomies Someone steady, patient, and consistent An adopter excited to continue training (she loves it and learns fast!) If you want a smart, devoted, endlessly rewarding companion who’s ready to grow with you, Lady could be your girl. She just needs the right person to bring out her very best.  December 14, 2025, 8:53 pm

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
Meet Ol' Blue Eyes  Blue Eye's story begins in a grocery store parking lot on the reservation, where his family brought the entire litter in hopes of giving the puppies away. Thankfully, a compassionate good Samaritan stepped in, gathered all the babies, and reached out to the rescue for help. While the family would not give us mama, we did secure a spay appointment so she won’t have to go through another litter. Because of the kindness and quick action of a stranger, Blue Eyes is now safe, thriving, and ready to begin his own bright future. Blue Eye’s Personality & Progress Confident and outgoing: Blue Eyes and his siblings are a joyful, social bunch—there isn’t a shy pup in this litter. Wellcaredfor beginnings: Their original family clearly loved them; they arrived fat, happy, and wonderfully playful. Smart as can be: He already follows his foster mom in and out for potty breaks and comes when he’s called. Great crate habits: At night, he sleeps soundly with his siblings in their comfy wire crate. Carride approved: He’s been on a few rides and handles the car like a pro. Brave and full of zest: Blue Eyes approaches life with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a bold little spirit. Why You’ll Love Him  Blue Eyes is the kind of puppy who makes every day feel a little brighter. He’s playful, peopleoriented, and wonderfully eager to learn. His confidence and intelligence shine through in everything he does—from trotting after his foster mom to mastering new routines with ease. His estimated birthday is November 27, 2025, though we don’t know the exact date. His mom looks to be an Australian Shepherd mix so we think the puppies are Australian Shepherd / Australian Cattle Dog and several other rez breeds. CHECK OUT THEIR VERY OWN FACEBOOK PAGE WHICH HAS LOTS MORE PICS AND VIDEOS!  https://www.facebook.com/share/19HuSCuSUb/ If you would like to adopt/foster please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $500 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   ##2615790##

Story
Meet Chorizo — the Goodest Good Boy With the Biggest Heart! Chorizo is a 2yearold mixedbreed sweetheart from the Navajo Nation, and at 55 pounds of pure gentleness, he’s the definition of an easygoing, lovable companion. Don’t let his serious photoface fool you — this boy is all soft heart, warm snuggles, and quiet joy. One of Chorizo’s absolute favorite things in the world is his foster dog brother. They hang out, explore, nap, and enjoy life sidebyside. He would thrive with another friendly dog in the home — but he’d also be perfectly content as an only child, soaking up all the love and attention. Either way, he’s a happy, adaptable guy.He’s also shown he can coexist politely with cats — in his previous home, he even made feline friends! Chorizo’s vibe? Chill, sweet, and wonderfully mellow. He’s up for whatever you’re doing — a walk, a cuddle session, a lazy afternoon, or simply being nearby while you go about your day. He’s never shown an ounce of aggression, and his gentle nature shines through in everything he does.  If you’re looking for a steady, loving, loyal companion who brings calm, sweetness, and heartmelting charm into your home, Chorizo is your guy. This wonderful pup is ready to start his next chapter — and he hopes it’s with you. If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   ##2605874##
