Story
Mr. Bones is a cautious but sweet pup who is ready to start coming out of his shell. He is scared by big noises and sudden movements, but just retreats to a corner and does not show any signs of aggression. He feels the most comfortable around patient adults and confident dogs. While he might not approach you at first, he loves a quiet hang in front of the tv snuggling with his blanket. True to his namesake, Mr. Bones was malnourished when he was initially rescued, but is taking big strides to gaining more weight and muscle. While he still has a ways to go, his favorite activities include eating a big helping of breakfast or searching around for yummy hidden treats. He is still working on basic commands, but is good on a leash and house trained. He is a very kind, gentle dog that, over time with stability and patience, starts showing more and more of his curious and playful personality. Mr. Bones will need another confident and patient dog in the house! ##2542710##

Story
Meet Axel, a spirited 5-year-old Lab/Shepherd/Aussie mix with a zest for life and a heart full of love. Axel is an active and playful dog who thrives on companionship with other dogs, so having a furry friend around would be perfect for him. While Axel is dog-friendly, he can be a bit nervous around new people and prefers not to make direct eye contact. To ensure everyone's safety, he should wear a muzzle when meeting new folks. With the right approach and time, Axel reveals his affectionate and playful side, becoming a loyal and protective companion. Axel needs a dedicated and experienced dog owner who can provide firm training and a bit of extra care. He was rescued just an hour before his scheduled euthanasia and is eager to find a loving, active home where he can truly shine.

Story
Hi, I'm Rex! I'm a 13 year old, sweet senior who would love to be your new sidekick. I'm a kind, loving, and fun spirited soul looking for a second forever home. My previous family, whom I loved, was unable to take me with them on their move so please consider bringing me home. I enjoy walks, rubs, cuddles, and I can handle downtime like a pro. I'm an experienced, house-trained dog and I've absolutely mastered the art of loyalty and companionship. I have a slight limp due to an old injury that's never stopped me from living my best life and bringing smiles and giggles to my family. Adopting me requires a short health waiver to protect me based on my age and health. But don't worry, I promise I'm worth it :) If you have space in your life for more joy, I'm your guy!

Meet Shadow, a charming 3-year-old brindle Shepherd mix who’s ready to find his forever home. Shadow is housetrained, good on leash, and has a playful spirit that will keep you entertained. He gets along well with cats and loves to play and explore. Unfortunately, Shadow is not a fan of other dogs, so he’ll do best in a home where he can be the only canine companion. He was surrendered to a high-kill shelter when his previous owner could no longer afford him, but now he’s ready for a fresh start with a loving family. If you’re looking for a loyal and affectionate dog who will thrive in a dog-free environment, Shadow is eager to bring joy and companionship into your life.

Story
Hello there! My name’s Penny, and I’m a 9-year old, 55 pound shepherd mix with a big heart, a silly streak, and a love for all things Colorado. I’ve had a wonderful life with my humans, but recently they brought home a tiny human who grew into a very wiggly, spinning, jumpy toddler. And, well… I’m not a fan of surprises that move on two legs. So I’m looking for a quieter home, one without tiny humans, where I can relax, feel safe and be your loyal adventure partner. A little about me: · Healthy, happy, and full of love · Great walker, excellent on trails · I adore hiking, camping, skiing and all the normal mountain fun · I do like kids – as long as they’re predictable, respectful, and old enough to understand my boundaries (probably 9+) · I’ve always lived with dogs, but would like to meet them first. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to explore life with – someone who will wag, cuddle, and trot happily beside you on every trail - I’m your girl!
