Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

She's the biggest human lover ever, major attention hog, has the goofiest personality, super lazy, has the funniest butt-dragging run when she has the zoomies, is your own personal space heater, basically scared of her own shadow, a glutton for food with a huge love especially for peanuts and tortillas as treats, has the best bah-rooo hound bark ever, absolutely LOVES and is super protective of tiny humans and gives really good hugs when she greets you when you come home. She is about 6-8 years old, about 50+60ish lbs, fixed, fully potty and crate trained, will 'sit,' 'lay down,' and 'shake' with the bribe of treats and go to her crate with the command of 'go home' 1: Recommended to have a fully and secured fenced in yard (she's an escape artist and trust me, she is FAST) 2: She must be an indoor dog, as she doesn't do well in the extreme heat or cold. 3: She cannot be used as a hunting dog, as we believe she may have been a 'failed' hunting dog that got abandoned when we rescued her 6

Story

Grits is 6 1/2 years old and is a shepherd mix. We haven't done genetic testing on her, but have been told she's likely part Anatolian Shepherd, part Red Heeler. Grits weighs about 53 lbs and is a sweetheart with humans as well as with the dogs she knew as a puppy. She is really well-trained, spade, listens well to commands, is easy to walk both on and off leash, and is a great trail companion. She loves hiking, trail running, mountain biking, and even backcountry skiing. She is starting to slow down a bit as she gets into middle age, but she's still active and LOVES being in nature. She also loves chasing sticks, and swimming. While she's usually good with dogs on the trail, giving them a quick sniff and continuing on her way, she does not do well with other pets in the same house as her. This is why she needs to be the only pet in a household. She would also do best somewhere outside of town or in a quite neighborhood because she does have some anxiety and it seems she is m

Story

We’re looking to rehome our sweet 10-year-old dog, whom we had since he was a year old. He’s incredibly loving and loyal, but he also has some special needs. He struggles with severe anxiety, especially around car rides and being left alone, so he needs a home where someone is around often. Traditional anxiety medications haven't been effective, but he does best in a calm and stable environment. He has severe allergies, so we've kept him on a special diet and routine to help manage these. While he's been a wonderful companion, he did have an incident with our cat that resulted in its death; we’re not sure if it was intentional, but he may do best in a home without other small animals. He really just needs a peaceful place where he can thrive with someone who understands his needs and can give him the attention he deserves. If you’re experienced with dogs and have a calm home, where he can be safe we believe we have the companion that you’re looking for.

Penny

American Pit Bull Terrier Husky

Female, 11 mos

Durango, CO

Size

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

Story

Penny gets along great with kids and other dogs. She warms up to people quickly and she is very smart. Penny loves going on walks seeing all the people. She also likes to play in the pool in our play yard. Penny`s personality is to always play. If you would like to meet Penny, call the LPCHS front desk or walk-in today to schedule an appointment! Penny`s review from one of our wonderful volunteers:`Penny was very enthusiastic to get out of the kennel. She greeted the other dogs with some barks and tail wags. She really wanted to play, but the other dogs didn`t feel comfortable enough to play with her until the halfway point of our walk. At that point, all of the dogs were more relaxed, so they easily played with one another. She listened to commands when her name was called. She was very excited to be out in nature, and she was tired enough by the end of our walk that she fell asleep in the back of my car on the ride back to the shelter. She pulled a bit, especially at first when she was full of energy, but overall, she was a very well-behaved pup.`
