Story
Domino is a very sweet, 50 pound energetic herding breed mutt that is about 6 years old. She loves people - adults and children, and she LOVES to run. One of her favorite things in the world is just cuddling up next to her favorite humans (which is anyone!), receiving love. She is great with basic training skills like sit, fetch, stay, leave it, and is good with recall. Domino also LOVES her crate - it is her safe space, and she does very well sleeping in it at night, or if she needs a break. She has never had any major issues with her health, aside from some issues with her teeth and minor bumps and bruises from romping around. While she is absolutely fantastic with people, she can be touch and go with other dogs. She was brought up extremely socialized with other dogs, but as she has gotten older, her behavior around other dogs has become less predictable. We have had issues between her and our other pets, and we feel like she may flourish to live her best life with another family.

Story
Mickey was acquired from Lifeline in Brighton. He is a wonderful boy who gets a little anxious but does well with a lot of attention. He also has a lot of energy and needs a yard or frequent walks. He does well with other dogs and cats but would be fine as a single pet. He is my daughter’s dog and she moved into her own apartment for school and it is just too small for him so he needs a better home that can give more room and attention.

Summit

Border Collie Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 mos
Erie, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Summit is a bundle of happy energy! He loves everyone and has almost no fear! He is a healthy, happy, energizer bunny who loves living with people and other dogs, learns quickly, and introduces himself easily. He enjoys going for walks, and is already walking well on a leash, eating as much food as he can get, and sleeping on his people. We cannot quite figure out exactly what he is mixed with, but we do think he will be on the smaller side. He is quickly picking up on house training and loves getting praise and being held. He is very food motivated, so training is going well. He will need meaningful exercise and brain games, and that will be very important to keep him motivated and happy, but he will be an amazing partner in adventure!

Female, 5 yrs 9 mos

Story
This sweet, beautiful girl is Ogallala but everyone calls her Olga. She came to Soul Dog in 2021 fearful and feral. Over the past year in her current foster home, she has gradually blossomed from spending all her time cowering in the corner to spending most of her time lying relaxed in the corner. Olga is very fearful, but also very sweet and gentle. Her instinct is to get away, avoid detection, and be left alone. For the first several months in her current foster home, Olga hid in her selected corner and only snuck around at night to eat. She is not housebroken and has selected a spot in the house where she feels safe going potty. After several months in the house, she started to feel comfortable enough to look out the windows, and then even venture outside onto the balcony. As she has gotten comfortable and gained confidence, she has begun to show affection, as well as a bit of a playful, rambunctious side. She will occasionally join the family on the sofa and will even solicit attention once in a while. She hit a big milestone a couple months ago when she started barking at people from the window and balcony instead of hiding from them. (We are now working on stopping that behavior.) Although she has gained a lot of confidence, Olga still has a lot of fears and triggers. She is terrified of people and loud sounds, and anything that sounds like banging. The sounds of roofers or even kids playing basketball will send her running. She is a master escape artist and bolts when she gets scared, so you will need to be careful and vigilant and have a solid fence. She will go to her next home with a GPS collar just in case. She has come a long way over the past year with her foster and is starting to learn that some people and places aren't so bad. She needs a kind and understanding person to give her the patience, quiet, time, and love that she desperately needs.
