Story
Looking for a dog who`s looking for an adventure? Then Red is your guy! This guy is always ready for a good time! He loves everyone and is crazy sweet! He has a great time in our water pools and could be a great swimmer. He also loves to chase the ball! Red also knows sit, lay down, paw/shake, and high five. Red would love to chat with you about your guys` days. Call LPCHS today to meet Red!A note from his buddy: I met Red, a lovely mid-size pup in November 2023. We enjoyed some walks and buddy program outings until he got adopted. Unfortunately, he was returned on 01/08/2025, no fault of his own. He probably has already spent 6 or 7 months at Humane and he is still languishing, waiting for another chance. This Tuesday, the staff thought Red would be the perfect candidate for an outing with my friend`s two dogs and I knew he loved hiking. Off we went. Red was very calm in the car. Once at the parking lot (Colorado Trail), he got acquainted with Luca and Romeo. The introduction was quick and Red took to both dogs in a nanosecond. At the beginning of our hike, it was hard for Red to see his two new friends running around freely while he had to be on a leash. He was definitely frustrated, tugging with vigor. However, more dogs showed up with their humans on the trail. Red got easily distracted and, curious at first, decided to interact some more with the newcomers. And in the process, he calmed down.Eventually, Red, Luca and Romeo fell into stride. It was great to see the 3 of them in sync. We continued up to Gudy`s Rest where we all took a quick break. Red, unlike his buddies, hadnever been up there but he had kept the pace. As we were heading back down, I took a fall and Red came to my side right away to assess the damage. I have experienced that before with a couple of other pups I was walking. It felt as if Red was concerned as he patiently waited for me to stand up again. So sweet!Back at the trailhead and before we parted, my friend commented on Red`s good manners, strength and playful behavior. After an 8 mile hike, Red was ready for his long awaited lunch. Too bad we had to head back so soon!

Story
Looking for the best adventure buddy ever?! Meet Stuffy! He loves joining his foster family on cross country ski trips, hikes, & long walks. He has got his basic commands down and would love to make his furrever home happy. He`s even house trained!Here`s a note from a dedicated volunteer that`s gotten to know him:I honestly can`t believe that this amazing dog is still at the shelter! He is so calm, sweet, obedient, and walks beautifully on a leash. He was the star dog on the bike path yesterday with people commenting on how good he was time and again. He would sit and stay and just look to me for guidance as other dogs would pass barking and pulling toward him. What a good boy! He also freely gives the sweetest love throughout with stopping for cuddles and kisses. He even comes up and rubs his head against my leg to show his appreciation. He`s a joy to play with as well and is fully engaged and responsive. I absolutely adore this dog and whoever has the privilege to end up with him is going to be SO lucky!!! Please someone come meet this endearing sweetheart and give him the home he deserves. You won`t regret it!!
