Story
Jonah is a sweet and loving dog, about 10 years old. He is used to having a large backyard for recreation but our new home doesn't give him what he needs. Our work and school schedules mean he is inside and alone for extended times and naturally prone to accidents as a result. He gets very excited on walks, when there are other dogs present, and has a tendency to pull and bark. He is excellent around kids and other animals but can be intimidating when he first meets them due to his excitement and size. He has no known health issues or dietary restrictions and was neutered as a pup. We hate to re-home him but want the best quality of life we can get for him and cannot provide that at this time.

Story
Mufasa is a very loving dog who enjoys playing with kids, hiking and camping. He has a bit of social anxiety when he first meets people, especially males, but quickly warms up to them and then he's best buds. He's got a unique singing voice anytime he hears sirens and actually sings along to certain songs on the radio! He's very intelligent and loves climbing boulders and exploring during hikes. He's a wonderful dog but we're unable to give him the space and attention he needs with our busy lives and want the best quality of life for him.

Story
Calling all retirees! Looking for a best friend to spend your days with? Norris ideal home would be with a retired couple. He is a 9yr old, 65lb gentleman, with a heart of gold! He would love nothing more than to live out his golden years right by your side. Are you a routine kind of person? Then Norris is your guy! He is very routine driven and loves his breakfast at 0-seven-hundred and his leisurely morning walk right after (more sniffing than walking). He'll curl up right next to you on the couch for afternoon belly rubs and naps. He could snuggle all day (although he wouldn't turn down an afternoon walk) until dinner time and his evening stroll. Norris ideal home would be with a retired couple that loves to walk. He LOVES walking and walks well on the leash most of the time. He is a strong guy, and sometimes pulls when he sees other dogs. He always checks in with you no matter what he is doing to make sure he is doing it right. He is an easy going guy that just wants to be loved. As an older guy he does not have much tolerance for kids, so no kids is a must. He would like a calm doggie sibling to show him the ropes and provide him comfort when his people are not home. He does not show interest in playing with other dogs, he just wants affection from his hoomans. He does great with his 55lb and 24lb foster dog siblings. His story is sad, he was found abandoned in a house and had been there for quite some time without food. He came to the shelter 25lbs underweight. Because of being abandoned in a house, he does have some separation anxiety, which is totally understandable! He does ok if he has a calm doggy sibling to be left at home with, but he is most happy to be with his humans. He needs a patient, loving person, that understands he has separation anxiety and is willing to help him build his confidence slowly. He loves and needs to have a set daily routine (this is good for his anxiety). Don't let these quirks lead you to overlooking this sweet boy, he truly is an amazing guy that just wants to be loved! Norris is in a foster home. If you would like to meet this animal, go to www.souldog.org to fill out an adoption application. When submitting your adoption application make sure to submit a good clear picture of your living room, kitchen, and yard. If you rent, you must provide proof animals are allowed. We will contact references. Once the application is reviewed our adoptions coordinator will send your information to the foster to set up a meet and greet.We ask that all members of the household come for a meet and greet to ensure there are no personality clashes. If you have other dogs in the home and are meeting a dog you must bring them for the meet and greet. Filling out an adoption application does not mean you will be adopting the animal. Doing a meet and greet with one of our animals does not guarantee you are adopting the animal. We will select the family we feel is the best choice for that animal after screening and meeting applicants.

Bronco (Doobie)

Retriever (Unknown Type) Cattle Dog

Male, 2 yrs 10 mos
Ft Lupton, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bronco (Doobie): Retriever/Cattle Dog Mix Age: 2 years old Breed: Retriever/Cattle Dog mix Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Microchipped: Yes Vaccinations: Up to date Personality and Behavior: Bronco was adopted young but was later returned by his previous adopter due to concerns that he might hurt their baby. He is housetrained according to his previous adopter, but may have occasional accidents in his crate if left for too long. Bronco enjoys playing but can be a bit nippy. He is recommended for homes with older children who can properly manage his playful behavior. Bronco is an energetic dog and will need an owner who can provide firm training and consistent boundaries to help him reach his full potential as the "perfect dog." His history with other dogs is uncertain, as he has shown some aggression towards dogs that don't want to play with him.  He has not been around other dogs to play with since back at the rescue.  Introducing him slowly and supervised to any resident dogs would be advised. Durable toys like hard bones or rubber toys are recommended, as Bronco can quickly destroy softer toys. Adoption Recommendations: Bronco would do best in an active home with an experienced owner who can provide him with the training, exercise, and structure he needs. A home without children or other pets may be ideal, at least initially, until his behavior and training can be fully assessed. With the right guidance and care, Bronco has the potential to be a wonderful companion. ##1455193##

Story
The Brush gang arrived at the Rescue from Brush, CO.  Animal Control had them for some time and could not find their furever families, so they asked for help.  They are a sweet, friendly group of Austrailian Cattledog, Lab and pittbull.   They are a very energetic and happy group that can jump high, so a high fence with a large yard or property will be needed for these pups.   Brush pink flowers is an almost 2 year old and looks mostly Cattledog with her spots, she is spayed, microchipped and current on shots.  She is kennel trained but has not spent time in the house, she has her own kennel at night but shares her yard with her brother. Please fill out an application at www.fureverdogdenver.com   If you have any questions or to meet me, please call (720) 588-6809. ##1788564##
