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
Rusty is a fun boy to be around! This young dog is energetic and adorable and will enjoy an active family dedicated to meeting his physical and emotional needs. His playful energy is infectious, and he's always ready for a game of fetch or an adventure. Rusty has been spending quality time working with both our Behavior Team and volunteers, who tell us that Rusty is smart and enjoys learning to sit, shake his paw and touch his nose to their hands. Perhaps Rusty will be that walking or jogging companion you've been searching for, although not necessarily the one who would enjoy being at the dog park. Rusty will only be rehomed to a family without children or with kids at least 10 years of age. Primary Color: Brown Weight: 37.4 Age: 1yrs 0mths 0wks

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 Kesha! Kesha is a happy, playful puppy who is settling into foster life nicely. She’s a little more excitable than calm right now, which is pretty classic puppy energy, but she’s already showing that she can learn and adapt with guidance. She loves to eat, play, and generally be a very good girl.   Like any young pup, Kesha can have some destructive moments, but she responds well when redirected to appropriate toys or bones. She’s also learning how to relax — after about 10 minutes on her own, she’s able to settle down, which is a great skill for a puppy her age.   Kesha is thrilled when her people return and can’t help herself from jumping to say hello (we know… it’s cute), but she’s already working on better manners. She’s learning to settle on her own and is practicing sitting politely before going through doors or heading outside.   Kesha would thrive in a home ready to continue basic training, provide structure, and embrace all the fun (and work!) that comes with a puppy. With consistency, patience, and lots of love, she’s going to be an awesome companion.  Kesha was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas. Meet and greets are by appointment only.  An approved application is required to schedule a meeting. Check out our events page for upcoming open adoption events! We have no additional back story or update for this dog at this time.  When we do, it will be updated here.  This is all the information we have currently. Approved Applicants may make the adoption fee payment by clicking donate above.  Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded. Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance.  We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect).  Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico.  While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.   More questions?  Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/  Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.  ##2642524##

I do well with other dogs and love to wrestle and play.

Juno is a 4.5-year-old female cattle dog mix ready to join your family and bring endless joy and excitement to your world. Weighing in at a perfect 50 lbs, she's the ideal size. This energetic and sociable girl loves her morning walks, hiking, playing ball and car rides.

At home, she's crate trained, hardly ever barks, and respectful of everything in the house, making her an excellent companion. Juno's striking appearance, with one blue eye and one brown eye, is just as unique as her personality. She’s reminiscent of Bluey from the television series, with her playful energy and sociable nature and can sometimes show a bossy side. True to her cattle dog roots, she enjoys rolling around in the cool grass which has been labeled her ‘happy dance’ by her foster parents. One of Juno's best qualities is her excellent listening skills. She knows many commands and follows them reliably, making her pretty much turnkey. She even knows some good tricks! She’s very attentive, wants to please and has a goofy side that is sure to make you laugh. Her tail wags for her people, and she's good with other dogs and wonderful with kids. She currently lives with two dogs and a 5-year-old human boy, who she adores. If you're looking for a loving and adventurous companion, Juno is the perfect match.
