Auggie is a sweet, young Aussie-Collie mix, approximately 2½–3 years old, who is ready to leave his shelter days behind and find the forever family who will love him, spoil him, and show him just how wonderful life can be! Auggie spent the past 2–3 weeks in a rural shelter, and DASH is bringing him into a much more comfortable environment where he can decompress, relax, and discover all the good things about being part of a home. We’re talking air conditioning, comfy sofas, cozy beds, dog beds, gentle attention, and lots of loving! And one thing we already know about Auggie: this boy is a WATER BUG! He absolutely loves lying in and splashing around in the outdoor baby pool. We have a feeling he’d be just as happy running through sprinklers, playing in a swimming pool, or accompanying his people on adventures to a lake or creek. Based on his size, build, and love of water, we’re pretty sure he’s going to be a very enthusiastic outdoor-water companion! Auggie is a smart boy who is already learning what’s expected of him. He has learned to walk nicely on a leash, sit, and follow simple commands. He is also housebroken and crate trained, which gives his new family a wonderful head start. Like many herding dogs, Auggie can be a little shy when meeting new people, particularly men. But once he realizes someone is kind and trustworthy, he warms up quickly. He responds beautifully to gentle attention and absolutely loves being scratched behind his ears and along his back. ❤️ The more love Auggie receives, the more his confidence grows. We’re looking for a calm, moderately active home with no children under 12 where Auggie can continue building his confidence at his own pace. He loves other dogs, and a confident, friendly female dog could be a wonderful companion for him — someone who can help show him that his new home is a safe and happy place. Auggie could also be the perfect best buddy, wingman, copilot, or four-legged sidekick for someone looking for a loyal companion to share life’s adventures with. He’s affectionate, gentle, smart, and still discovering what indoor life and being close to people are all about. He may be a little shy at first, but underneath that initial hesitation is a sweet boy who is ready to blossom. Give Auggie a little patience, a lot of love, and a safe place to call home, and we have a feeling he’ll give you ten times the love right back. Auggie is ready for his forever family. Could that be you?

Harvey is a very handsome Aussie that needs another home.  His owner has five small children and it is too much for Harvey and causing him anxiety.  He is about 8 years old and he needs  a calm home. He would love lots of human contact and another dog would be great too but not a necessity.  He is still active and sweet.  He is certainly housebroken and a great best friend. He is smart, typical to his breed, and very warm and protective to the family, which includes a 9 MO, 2 YR, 4 YR, and 6 YR old. He currently attends daycare with other dogs as well. ##2751378##

Meet Jasper! A soulful three-and-a-half-year-old Border Collie/Rottweiler mix currently in Colorado Springs, CO, whose calm, loving heart is wrapped in a stunning 70-pound merle coat. With the gentle spirit of a wise old friend and the quiet loyalty of a true companion, Jasper is the kind of dog who will melt into your side on a cozy evening and follow you room to room just to be close. Jasper thrives in peaceful surroundings and forms deep, meaningful bonds with his people. He does well around children and enjoys their company, but he would do best with calm or older kids who understand boundaries and know how to treat him gently. Loud or high-energy play can make him uneasy, so a respectful home environment will help him feel safe and content. He’s a mellow guy who doesn’t need much to be happy: a soft spot to relax, the comforting presence of his caregiver, and maybe a treat puzzle or two to keep his brain engaged. Food-motivated and clever, Jasper knows a delightful list of commands like sit, stay, paw, spin, and even “middle”, a trick that’s as cute as it sounds! He’s fully house-trained, crate-trained, and perfectly content when left alone, making him a great match for someone who works from home or has a flexible schedule. While Jasper doesn’t require intense exercise, he does enjoy slow, sniffy walks where he can take in the world at his own pace. His favorite pastime? Being in the same room as you, soaking up your presence like sunshine! After being involved in two traumatic incidents with unfamiliar dogs, one when he was a puppy and another more recently, Jasper has developed a strong reactivity to dogs he doesn't know. He may bark or lunge when he sees them, especially near fences or in close proximity, and he continues to work through that with training and patient support. That said, he’s done well with familiar dogs in controlled settings, showing that he can feel safe with the right structure and trust. He’s happiest in a home with a fenced-in yard and a caregiver who values companionship, consistency, and quiet. Loud noises can startle him, but with reassurance, he settles easily. Jasper isn’t just a dog, he’s a constant companion, a quiet presence, and a gentle soul waiting for someone to see the beauty in his sensitive heart. If you’re seeking a loyal, low-key friend who will return your care with quiet affection and soulful eyes, Jasper may just be the one waiting to share your next chapter!
