Milliken, CO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Obi is the best boy. Unfortunately since having kids we found he does not do well with them. He is 5 years old (dob 10/18/19). He listens extremely well and knows many commands. Loves to chase bunnies and cuddle up on the couch. He needs a good loving adult only house where he can be active as he loves to get his zoomies out in the yard and sunbathe in the grass. He is kind of a nervous Nelly so he seeks a lot of positive reinforcement and acceptance through treats, being pet and love.

Story

Meet Pumpkin! Pumpkin is a loyal and loving pup with a heart as big as his name suggests. He’s a happy, energetic dog who thrives on companionship and adventure. Pumpkin loves toys, cuddles, and his bed, but more than anything, he loves being close to his people. Pumpkin is a well-mannered companion—potty trained, great with kids, cats, and even small animals. He's also a dream off-leash, staying close and checking in every few yards during hikes. While Pumpkin isn't crate-trained, he’s well-behaved when left alone and adores cuddling when his humans are home. Pumpkin is treat-motivated and eager to please, which makes training fun and rewarding. He has a normal sense of doggie boundaries: he avoids fights, lets other dogs approach him to play, and doesn’t use his mouth during play. He can be a bit cautious around dogs who’ve wronged him in the past, but he adjusts well to new environments and relationships with a little time and patience. Although Pumpkin has some mild guarding tendencies around bones, he’s good with toys and doesn’t have any food allergies. He’s particularly fond of veggies like carrots. Pumpkin can get a little sad when left alone, often sitting by the door waiting for his favorite humans to return, but he adjusts quickly with reassurance and routine. This purebred pup has no signs of hip dysplasia and loves staying active, whether it's hiking trails or hanging out at home. Pumpkin will thrive in a home where he can feel secure, enjoy the company of another animal companion or his humans, and continue being the loyal and loving dog he is. Pumpkin does well as the only dog in his current home, though! If you’re looking for an energetic, sweet, and well-rounded companion, look no further! This handsome man is it! ##2258065##

Story

Angel is a 3.5 MO pup weighing about 2lbs. Angel and her 5 siblings made their way to CO from New Mexico where they were part of a hoarding case. There were over 20 adult dogs, many pregnant, and multiple litters of puppies. They were very neglected the first few weeks of their little lives. When they arrived in CO we were able to get them to vet and and to get them on the road to health. Surprisingly, these pups are some of the most social pups we have ever had. They love everybody and everything. Every new human they meet they instantly love, and they love to play with each other and other dogs. We don't know these puppies actual breeds, but being only 2-4lbs (depending on the pup) and already over 3 months old we are guessing they will be about 8-15lbs when full grown. They look like little Dachshunds or Chihuahua's but again, it's all a guess so we don't know for sure. What we do know is these kiddos are as cute as can be and their personalities are to die for....every. single. one. of. them. If you are interested in adopting Angel or one of her siblings, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2258011##

Story

Penelope is an 8 week old adorable little pup weighing about 5lbs. We are guessing she will be about 20-30lbs when full grown. Penelope's mom was surrendered to a shelter in Kansas. The shelter is an overcrowded shelter that gets almost no foot traffic so they asked up to take Rosie (Penelope's mom) and find her a good forever home here in CO so she didn't end up spending months in the shelter, or worse, being euthanized. To our absolute surprise, Rosie ended up going into the labor just hours after getting to CO. She gave birth to two beautiful puppies, but unfortunately only one survived, little Penelope. While Momma is about 8lbs, Penelope was growing super quick. We don't know what the dad was, but we were told there was a larger Shih Tzu/Poodle in the home Rosie was in and he could be the dad, so thats the information we have to go off of. Penelope is now 8 weeks old and ready to find her forever family. She is a wonderful little pup. She gets along great with all other dogs (big and small), cats and all people. She has been well socialized and her fosters have been doing a great job with raising her to be a wonderful little dog. Penelope would do great with a family with another dog, or an active family who can truly get a young pup the mental and physical stimulation they need daily. While Penelope will be on the smaller side, all dogs still love to be active and have their worlds expanded. Penelope is very affectionate and would love a human to snuggle with and spend each and every day with. While being active is important for all dogs, Penelope would be happy with some netflix and snuggle days too. She is just a perfect little girl.
