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##

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 has never bitten anyone and 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
Hi, my name is Hattie and I’m a one-year-old Aussie mix! Even though I’m just a kid myself, I gave birth to six babies. Sadly, at that point my old humans decided they didn’t want me anymore. They dumped me and my two-day-old babies in a bucket and left us outside of the shelter. I was really scared, alone, and overwhelmed as a new mama. I went from being abused and neglected to a foster home in Colorado filled with so much love. I’ve been able to nurse and care for my pups while my foster mom and dad take care of me. Now that my babies are getting ready to find their forever homes, I am too! I would love a yard because I love being outside. I would also love humans who are patient and willing to help me learn the world, as I am still figuring things out. I enjoy an active family who will take me on lots of walks and adventures. I love all kids and other dogs, and I’m truly the sweetest girl with all the love to give. A note to adopters: I do struggle with separation anxiety, but the solution to my anxiety is having another dog in the house!  Because of this, I can only go to a home with other dogs, as their companionship helps me feel safe and secure. When there's another dog in the house I dont need to be in a crate when left alone so it's not something I think will impact me long term, it's just a result of my tough beginning.  I hope to find a family that can be patient in the beginning — but I promise I’m worth it. ##2592374##

Story
Winston is a 14 month Mini Aussie with a big heart and even bigger potential. He has grown into a smart, affectionate, and energetic young dog. Winston is very active and thrives with regular exercise and mental stimulation. Due to a demanding work schedule, we are unable to give him the time and activity level he truly deserves, which is why we are making the difficult decision to find him a new home where he can flourish. He gets along great with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine friend. Winston knows all his basic commands and even knows how to shake paw. He is eager to please and very intelligent, making him a great candidate for continued training. Winston can be a bit anxious on leash and would benefit from training classes and a confident, patient owner who can help build his confidence. With guidance and consistency, he has all the tools to become a wonderful family companion. Please apply if you are interest and we can schedule a meet up!

Story
Meet Evelyn, a delightful young female puppy (approximately a few months old) currently thriving in foster care. She's an outgoing and friendly girl with a high energy level that makes her the perfect playmate for active families. Evelyn warms up quickly to new people and has shown she's comfortable around them. She's done well with other dogs she's met, though she'll benefit from some guidance and training to polish her social skills. Her experience with children, cats, and other pets is still unknown, so slow introductions would be ideal in her new home. This sweet pup is incredibly loyal and devoted to her people, always eager for affection and companionship. She's making great progress with potty training and resource guarding (like food), but will need consistent training to continue improving. Her leash manners are still developing as well. Evelyn is full of puppy joy and ready to bring endless love and fun to a patient, committed family willing to help her grow into the faithful companion she's meant to be. Could that be you? ##2609031##
