Hello there, I'm Franklin! I'm as sweet as a sugar cookie and friendly as your best pal. My heart is full of gentle kindness and cuddly warmth. I'm always ready for a belly rub or a good old game of fetch. I'm loyal too, like a true companion. I promise to be there for you, through thick and thin, always wagging my tail in joy. I may be living in a shelter now, but what I really want is a forever home. Why should you adopt me? Well, imagine having a friend who loves you unconditionally, who's always excited to see you, and who can turn even a regular walk into an adventure. That's me, Franklin! ##2231302##

Story
Andre is a gentle giant. No joke. This super sweet guy, who came to us as a stray, is friendly and affectionate. He's a good walker and loves chasing balls (although he doesn't always bring them back). His favorite thing is... love. One of his shelter friends says Andre is `the most perfect boy.`December 19, 2024, 12:14 pm

Story
Good golly miss Gracie! What a battle it’s been to get her healthy and to this point, but we are so honored and excited to finally offer her for adoption to the perfect home! Gracie is a 5-year-old Great Dane. She was surrendered, heavily pregnant, to a shelter in New Mexico. Shortly after delivering a huge litter of pups, Gracie went septic. She was rushed to the vet for an emergency spay, wherein they found she had retained a couple of deceased puppies. She was gravely ill and the shelter decided it was best to separate her and her pups. Sadly, they all passed away. About a month later, Gracie was recovered and set out on her journey to Colorado. About an hour or two after she left the shelter, she began to bleed profusely from her lady parts. She was taken immediately to the closest emergency room wherein they found a stich from her spay had come undone – causing her to nearly bleed to death. So, Gracie headed back to the shelter for a few more weeks until she was fully recovered. Then, she set out to come to CO and this time, SHE MADE IT! Since Gracie really wasn’t feeling her best self during her stay in NM, we were so excited to see what an absolute joy she is! Gracie is dog friendly and would LOVE a canine companion that likes to play. She’s down for some serious naptimes, too, don’t get me wrong. Your girl is not hyper-active, by any means. She’s a lap dog (yes, don’t argue with me), loves her crate, and is extremely sensitive to correction so she needs a very gentle home. She’s a couch surfer, bed sleeper, and takes walks daily of around 2-3 miles. Gracie is treat-motivated, loves belly rubs, and really is just looking for her forever family. If this 103 lbs, black beauty, is just what you’ve been missing, please, get your apps in. She’s waited long enough for you to find her! Gracie is in foster in Mead, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/gracie/.

Story
Angle is a 4.5 Year Old Great Dane/Smooth Coated Collie Mix. She loves playing with other dogs and ignores cats, unless they want to play. She loves her people and even though she loves playing with other dogs, she really wants her human all to herself. She is also laid back and enjoys a good cuddle and chill on the couch while catching up on some TV. Angle is crate trained, enjoys toys and completely untrustworthy on free roam with high interest items (this includes expensive items; we don’t know how she knows – but she does!) If you think you are Angle's forever home, please complete an adoption application at https://www.savethegiants.com/adoption-process .

Story
Phryne is named after the heroine in Miss Fisher mysteries. She has a lot to overcome but like her namesake, she’s going to come out on top. She is deaf, she has some health issues, which she’s not old enough for us to fully test yet, and she may have some vision issues. But rest-assured, she doesn't let this stop her. She is the sweetest of hearts and loves to play when it's playtime and snuggle when it's nap time. Phryne is looking for her forever home where she will be loved unconditionally. If you're interested in adopting Phryne, visit savethegiants.com to submit your application. Even if you can't adopt Phryne, you can still support this sweet girl.
