Story
Eros is a handsome and sweet blue eyed boy. He is a loving boy that just wants to be by his humans. He was adopted by one of my coworkers who surrendered him to me because he was having personal problems and ended up being incarcerated. He gets along well with the other two dogs unfortunately he does not get along with my cats. He also gets along well with my roommate's young kids. He is super sweet and loves cuddling with his humans and going for long walks. He is workin on his house training. He is still nervous about going outside without being escorted by a human unless it is for chasing the squirrels. If you have questions about Eros please email me at jessica.barlow77@yahoo.com.

Story
My Australian Shepherds are a 5 and 6-years-old, energetic, and intelligent girl who was adopted from a farm in Montrose, Colorado, in 2018(male) and 2019(female). They are incredibly loyal, affectionate, and playful, always eager for adventure and companionship. I am looking for a loving and active home where she has plenty of space to run and play. The ideal home would be with a family or individual that would take in both of my Australian Shepards. This family or individual is someone who enjoys outdoor activities and has experience with energetic, intelligent dogs, ensuring she gets the attention, stimulation, and care she deserves.

Story
Meet Charley – Loyal, Loving, and Ball-Obsessed! Charley is a 5.5-year-old purebred Labrador Retriever looking for her new forever home. She’s spayed, up to date on all her shots, and crate trained (crate included). She knows her basic commands and learns quickly, though she could use a bit more training — we just haven’t had the time to stay consistent with it. Charley is great with kids and does well with cats and other dogs. She hasn’t had much exposure to other animals, so we’re not sure how she’d do around them. She’s completely obsessed with her ball and will play nonstop until you tell her to take a break! She’s incredibly loving, loyal, and thrives on attention and play. Charley will do best with someone who has time to engage with her, continue her training, and give her the affection she deserves.

Story
Yoshi, 2 1/2 year old AKC European Boxer, male, fawn with black mask and white markings, 70 pounds, neutered, housebroken, walks great on a leash - no pulling, loves to play with his toys, balls, fetch. Very intelligent, sweet, playful. I have had him since he was 8 weeks old. I am retired, have small grand kids, and another one on the way - too busy of schedule. Yoshi does get along with other dogs - but he may play too rough for small dogs. However, he does NOT share his toys, balls, or special chew treats. Yoshi - older children are best as he is big and playful. Lisa (three zero three) eight seven zero, eight three six four. Rehoming fee $80 cash. Brighton

Story
I’m looking for a loving home for my beautiful 5-year-old female Husky. She is full of energy, loves attention, and enjoys going on walks and runs. She’s very affectionate and would thrive in an active household. Unfortunately, due to an upcoming move, I can no longer keep her, and I want to make sure she finds a home where she’ll be loved and cared for. If you’re experienced with Huskies and can provide her with the attention and space she needs, please reach out. Serious inquiries only.
