Story

I am heartbroken to have to rehome my sweet Bear 💔 I am having a baby and he is not good with babies/ toddlers. He is the ultimate cuddler, wants to be tucked in blankets, on laps, and snuggled up together all day long. He only takes short walks for bathroom breaks, otherwise is happy at home. He has deformed back feet (underdeveloped) but it does not bother him and he walks just fine. Ideal home for him would be someone who does not have a full time office job, no kids and no other dogs at home.

Story

I adopted Berto from a local shelter about 9 months ago. Since bringing him home he has gained a lot of confidence, although he struggled with anxious behaviors in the shelter. He loves to cuddle, go for long walks, and do everything with you. He’s silly and makes me laugh everyday. He has some self control issues especially when meeting new people. However he’s very intelligent and trainable! He needs more consistency and stability than I can provide, and I hope he goes to a home with more space to run and potentially be with another dog.

Mabel

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 3 yrs 3 mos

Boulder, CO

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Mabel is one of the best dogs that have ever come through our rescue. She is so incredibly gentle and kind. She wouldn't hurt a fly. She is amazing with kids of all ages, great with all dogs, farm animals.... She is so affectionate and loving that someone out there is going to be really lucky to have her! She was an abandoned desert mom that we got last year out of southern California. She is a little shy at first but instantly affectionate. She is not big on exercise yet, she just wants to cuddle in to he house but she will get in a routine once she has consistency. Since she doesn't love going on walks yet I would say that she should probably go to a house with a yard instead of an apartment. She will do small flights of stairs but definitely not big ones yet. She will definitely be the dog of a lifetime. Please email if interested.
