Story
Ryder is a beautiful pup that loves to play fetch and have his chest rubbed. Great with strangers and so far all pets. He gets decently jealous when giving other dogs attention and will squeeze his way in to be pet. He about 3.5 - 4 years old (not 100% sure as we rescued him). He is healthy with occasional ear irritation from allergies once or twice a year. He is extremely obedient and just wants to please his owner. He loves doing anything active but has no issue laying inside all day here and there as long as he has his ball.

Story
Luca is about a year old. We adopted her from Lifeline Puppy Rescue when she was about 6 months old. She is the sweetest dog to my husband and I. She loves to cuddle on the couch, she gives kisses when you pet her, lets us pick her up and listens very well. She gets along great with our other dog and all of our grown kids’ dogs. She however is scared of kids and certain people, not all people. She goes away from them to her bed and growls. She has never bitten anyone but she does growl at some of our smaller grandkids and that’s why we are rehoming her. It absolutely breaks my heart to have to do this because I love her and she is just the sweetest thing. She follows me around the house, lays in the kitchen when I cook and lays on my lap on the couch. She’s housebroken, loves raised dog beds, toys and treats and to go on walks. She is spoiled! If you are a couple or single without little kids and are kind and loving and have space in your heart for Luca, she’ll love you.

Corazon

Texas Heeler German Shepherd Dog

Female, Puppy
Commerce City, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Corazon was surrendered to us with her two other siblings (Jonah and Negra) when their original owners were evicted. They do require training since they don't yet know their names and are 3 months. The dad said they are mixed with Texas heeler and German Shepard. Corazon is the smallest yet, has the most energy out of all the siblings: She loves to play chase and playing with her siblings. All three siblings are somewhat afraid of the world, but their curiosity is what drives them towards new experiences. They used to be afraid of coming inside but now prefer it when if someone will be with them. They are grazers and have not shown signs of being food or toy aggressive. She loves long lasting chews such as, pig skin and dried chicken tenderloin. They do not have vaccines and not spayed. She is very quick to learn especially when it was recall and sit but it has been difficult to teach their name.

American Bulldog Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We originally adopted Nova 8 years ago. She is an amazing, loving dog. She was our first baby but unfortunately has been unable to adapt to the birth of our (human) daughter. Nova is a very obedient dog who enjoys following commands and thrives on being told she is a good dog! She walks well on a leash. Nova loves to be the center of attention. She enjoys cuddling up on the couch and will happily snuggle with you for hours. Being pet is her favorite pastime and she is happiest when she is around her people. She does get along with other dogs, but prefers to be the only child. She is active and loves going on hikes. Nova is an excellent travel companion who behaves well in the car. She can be left home alone without any issues, as she is well-adjusted and independent. We are looking for the perfect, loving home for Nova. She gets along well with cats and would love to be the only dog in the house so she can focus all of her love on you.

Kano

American Pit Bull Terrier American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, Adult
Northglenn, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Kano was initially adopted in February 2023. He was kept under the watch of myself, my ex girlfriend, and her family. Previously, he was able to go to a multitude of places and be watched over, cared for, and allowed to run around free multiple times a week. Due to a recent change in family dynamic, I am now the sole-caretaker and cannot provide him with what he needs/ deserves. Kano has common separation anxiety and needs to be well taken care of and exercised, but can also be a lazy cuddle-bug for days on end. I do not put him up for adoption lightly, but due to my intense work / school schedule, I cannot provide him with the attention and care he deserves. Please reach out with any questions.
