My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Oh Rufus! He is a guessed to be a 5 yr old Dogue De Bordeaux and a BIG SWEET BOY, at 103 lbs. He is gorgeous, friendly, and loves people! He has a strong prey drive to smaller animals, so dogs smaller than him and other small animals are unfortunately not going to be a part of his forever home. He will need some decompression, proper intro and time and the right fit to be placed with another dog, so we think he will be best as an only dog family member! He is eager to come sit on your couch and snuggle, he’s calm and gentle, he knows many commands like sit, shake, lay and roll over and is house trained - he’s just a big ol’ boy who is ready for a loving home! Could that be you?? If so, come meet Rufus!!

Go meet their pets

Over 75% of our dogs are in foster homes along the front range. The foster will get in touch to schedule meetings for their foster dog. Meetings will happen in/near their homes since that is where the dog is the most comfortable. We do want you to bring family members (human and dog) to the meeting! Dogs who are currently at our Windsor facility will have meetings there and a volunteer will reach out to schedule those meetings with you. Please be aware that we do not place our dogs on a first come, first served basis, but rather a best-fit placement. Never fear, applications are valid for a year so if the first dog you meet isn't a good fit, we will have plenty of time to find one that is.
