This beauty is Lexi! She is an approximately 1-year-old, 36-pound stunner with the kind of looks that garner compliments from strangers and passersby.

She’s a rez dog, made up of many breeds, which often means healthier, sturdier, and wonderfully well-balanced genetics.  Lexi came to us from the Navajo Nation, where she lived alongside many different dogs. She is friendly and social with other dogs and loves her foster dog sister.  Lexi is the kind of dog who bonds deeply with her people and blossoms with kindness and consistency. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with beauty, heart, and so much potential, Lexi may be the one you’ve been waiting for   Adopt Lexi and give this special girl the chance to fully shine.

Story
Meet Frankie — a smart, loyal, and loving 40 lb Mini Australian Shepherd seeking his perfect home. Raised from a puppy during COVID, he’s grown into a playful, intelligent, and affectionate companion who bonds deeply with his people. Frankie is well-trained, eager to please, and loves structure, exercise, and mental challenges. His recall and obedience are excellent — he can even fetch a beer from the fridge and close the door! Frankie thrives on outdoor adventures like hikes, frisbee, and swimming, but also enjoys cozy downtime. Frankie does best in an adult-only home without children or young animals. He’s protective and can be anxious around unfamiliar people, but with an experienced owner who understands herding breeds, he’ll shine. Looking for an active individual or couple who can offer leadership, consistency, and love — Frankie will be a loyal and rewarding best friend.

Story
Jameson was adopted from Denver Animal Shelter when he was about 2 months old. He has been with me 10 months. He has a lot of energy, and I don't think we are a good fit. He needs a lot of attention and play space. He is crate trained and he likes to just lay in it to relax. Recently I've been leaving him out of the crate while I'm gone and he has done pretty well. Jameson needs a person who can get him out of the house more. He uses a gentle leader for walks and pulls a little. He generally loves meeting new people - he loves going to the brewery. He knows people around the neighborhood who he likes to say hi to for treats. He's a lover and likes to snuggle on the couch. He really just needs a bit more attention than I can give.

Story
Leo is a strikingly handsome boy with a shy, thoughtful nature. He’s a sensitive dog who takes his time getting comfortable in new situations, but once he feels safe, his sweet personality quietly shines through. Leo seems avoidant around other dogs and may do best as the only dog in the home, where he doesn’t have to navigate social situations that make him uncomfortable. With people, he’s gentle but reserved and will need a patient adopter willing to help him build confidence with strangers at his own pace. Because of this, any kids in the home should be 10+. If you’re searching for a devoted companion who will blossom with patience, kindness, and love, Leo could be the perfect match!* Avoidant of other dogs - may not want a canine roommate* Kids 10+

Story
Oso is a super sweet, cuddly boy who is fully convinced he was designed to be a lap dog—size be darned. His favorite place in the world is right next to (or on top of) his people, soaking up all the love and giving it right back with gentle snuggles and soulful eyes. He also seems to like other dogs and has an awkward playstule! He has a soft spot for belly rubs, warm naps, and being told what a good boy he is (which he is, obviously)!
