Story
We adopted Milo locally in Durango CO and he is a sweet 3 yr old boy:) He is a little timid at first meet but he warms up quickly and once acquainted you are family ♥️ We are needing to rehome him because of life changes that recently came up and we are traveling 6 months out of the year. Milo would prefer a consistent schedule with someone who is home more than not. He is okay alone for long days (I’m a nurse) but he definitely prefers his family being around. He gets along with other dogs that he knows and loves to play and romp around outside with them!

Story
I’ve had Oso since he was a puppy. I am moving away for college and wont be able to care for him anymore. He is the sweetest, he is very clingy, enjoys nature, loves cuddling, he is wonderful with kids and people in general. He’s like a therapy dog, he is such a lover boy. He loves it all as long as he’s with you. Overall he is such a good boy! He needs someone who is just as loving as he is ❤️!

Story
Francisco is a sweet, cuddly, boy who has been WAITING PATIENTLY SINCE MAY, 2024 for his well deserved new home. Francisco loves to be loved. Francisco has spent time in foster and is a staff and volunteer favorite. Francisco hopes he will be sleeping on his own dog bed, in his new home, in time for the holidays. He heard that people get presents and lots of food on Christmas and he thinks that sounds pretty awesome. Francisco will make a great off leash dog, as he follows his person loyally. If you can`t adopt Francisco, please share him with friends and family and on your social media. Help us get this boy the home he deserves! Call the LPCHS front desk to schedule a time to meet Francisco.

Story
Hank is SO MUCH FUN!! He loves to play with his ball and doesn`t mind playing by himself. He loves a spirited game of tug-of-war and will even let you win, so you can toss it for him. Hank will make a great family dog, adventure buddy and super fun best friend! Hank is a staff favoite and has been waiting for him new home for more than 90 days. Hank gets his own suite at LPCHS because he has been here so long and the kennel is stressful. Hank gets office time too! He is a polite office guest and positive addition to every day. We love Hank and we know you will too! Come meet Hank today. You can help Hank find a home for the holidays by sharing him on social media and sharing him with friends and family.
