Story
Big Boy was part of 3 puppies we rescued in Texas. Mom was dumped and had her litter of 8 puppies. Big Boy is super smart, treat/food motivated, and has a curious instinct. He loves treat-dispensing toys and any toys that require him to sniff out treats. Out of the 3, Big Boy was always first to learn something new, and his siblings followed. He loves playing with his siblings and can share toys for the most part, but he is always interested in the toys that his siblings have. Big Boy is still learning boundaries, such as not eating his siblings food or taking his siblingstreat-dispensing toys away. For this reason, we tend to feed/ give treat-dispensing toys separately. Big Boy is potty-trained. Big Boy attends puppy training classes he knows sit, down, touch, stand, lets go. Big Boy is curious about my moms cat, but the cat is not ready to interact with Big Boy. He will try to sniff her or eat the cat food. He gets along great with my brother 7-year-old Black Lab and 13 week Corgi.

Story
Meet Ripley, the sweetest little shepherd/rottweiler (with a dash of husky!) mix you’ll ever meet. This beautiful girl is thriving in her foster home and is ready to find a family of her very own. She’s doing wonderfully with house training and picks up routines quickly. She also sleeps through the night like a champ! She walks politely on leash and loves exploring the world at a calm, curious pace. She plays great with her foster sister and would love a doggy buddy, but she’d also be perfectly happy as an only dog, soaking up all your attention as your very best friend. She hasn’t been around cats yet, but she hasn’t shown any prey drive so far, so she may do well with a slow, proper introduction. She’s not mouthy and has a gentle temperament, making her a good match for families with respectful children. When she can’t be supervised, she relaxes quietly in her crate and is learning great independence skills. This girl has a sweet, eager-to-please nature and a soft, affectionate spirit. She loves learning, loves companionship, and will make an incredibly loyal companion. If you’re looking for a loving, wellmannered puppy who’s equal parts adventure buddy and cuddlebug, she might just be your perfect match! If you're interested in meeting her please fill out an application at www.thegooddogrescue.org (If you already have an approved application, please email thegooddogrescueadoptions@gmail.com with your interest in her!) Her adoption fee is $400 and she is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations ##2690368##

Hi! I'm Miley. I'm a really sweet girl. I start out a little bit shy, but warm up quickly and am then love to love.

Hi there, my name is Leila. I'm the best dog greeter in my doggie daycare. I love balls and toys,going for car rides and love to play with dogs and people.  I walk well on leash, but am scared of bikes and scooters - wheelie things are weird!  I am extremely affectionate and loveable. I have a million facial expressions. I love being outside and playing in the snow. I'm working on my nice leash walking, but am making good progress. I love to explore and sometimes my nose leads me off path.  I would make a great addition to an active home preferably with another dog!  If you're interested in meeting me please fill out an application at www.thegooddogrescue.org (If you already have an approved application, please email thegooddogrescueadoptions@gmail.com with your interest in me!) My adoption fee is $300 and I am spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations ##2079620##

Hi! I'm Milo! My foster mama describes me as a very affectionate chunky monkey. I'm sweet and gentle, and love to sit on your lap and snuggle. I am active and playful, as a puppy should be, but can quiet down and relax while my foster is working. I like other dogs and being outside. I am doing great with crate and potty training, and have learned to navigate the doggie door and steep stairs. I'm a cuddly little fella that will definitely win your heart!

Story
Looking for a Loyal and Lovable Companion? Meet Moon, a loving rescue dog ready to be a part of someone's family! Moon is a 4 year old Shepherd/Lab mix. She’s a little chunky lol but should weigh about 60 pounds once she loses a couple pounds :) She is super sweet and a happy dog with a heart full of love. She is affectionate and friendly. She enjoys giving kisses, playtime, car rides, going on walks or cuddling with her humans. Moon is a medium energy dog who is a really good girl. Moon is potty trained if taken out regularly and is doing well with crate training. She's dog friendly tho unknown about cats. She does great with kids and is a very friendly pup. She's a cute girl, who is smart and learns quickly. She is a snuggle bug, who will love you forever, be a loyal companion and eager to please.. Moon's backstory: Moon's owner died unexpectedly and none of the family would take Moon or her 14 year old fur sister Sunny - they ended up at a kill shelter in Southern Colorado. Sunny is also available for a furever foster (due to age) and we’d love them to go to the same home but they would also do well in their own homes.

Lestat is a big, handsome boy with an even bigger personality. He’s energetic, playful, and smart—always ready for a game, an adventure, or a new puzzle to figure out. If you’re looking for a dog who will keep you laughing and keep you moving, he’s your guy.Lestat loves toys and turns playtime into a full-body event. Because of his size and enthusiasm, he may accidentally knock over small children, so a home with older mature children or adults would be the best fit for him.
