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.

Australian Shepherd

Male, 5 yrs
Denver, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
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)!

Story
Name: Ted Breed: Toy Australian Shepherd Sex: Neutered Male Age: 1 year 6 months Weight: 21 lbs Needs Experienced Adopter, We are seeking a foster-to-adopt home for Ted, someone experienced with dogs who have fear-based reactivity and willing to continue working on his behavior with patience, structure, and training support through PawsCo. Good with dogs? Ted may do best as an only dog, as he can be protective of his food and may feel overwhelmed sharing space. Good with cats? No. Good with kids? No. Energy Level: Medium. Ted loves to romp around, explore the backyard, and play with toys. Once his play needs are met, he settles nicely and enjoys relaxing. Behavioral Needs: Ted spent most of his early life outdoors and is still learning how to be a comfortable indoor companion. He’s working on feeling safe, managing his stranger danger, and sharing resources. Because he struggles with being left alone, he will need a home where someone is home often or works from home. Ted is significantly undersocialized and requires very slow, structured introductions to new people and experiences. Continued professional training will be important for his success. About Ted: Ted is a silly little rascal with a big heart who thrives on fun, exploration, and connection. He’s looking for a patient, committed adopter who can help grow his confidence through gentle guidance, consistent training, and thoughtful socialization. Ted is easily frightened by loud noises, barking dogs, and unfamiliar people, but with love and support, he can learn that the world is safe. Despite his rocky start, he is ready to blossom and share his playful, curious, sweet puppy personality with the right person. Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at www.pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process. You can also contact my friends at PawsCo at adopt@pawscoadoptions.org if you have questions. I look forward to meeting you!

Dante is a sweet boy looking for love! He's likely to be an easy keeper and will enjoy neighborhood walks and relaxing in front of the TV at night. Dante is a wiz and loves to show off his tricks in exchange a treat! Dante knows sit, down, shake and more! As Dante has matured, he is less tolerant of impolite dogs, so at this time, we will only rehome him to a family where he will be the only dog, and we recommend older or no children.
