Story
From foster: Where are all the wrinkly face lovers at??
Roscoe is the perfect gentleman and gets along really well with our dogs and cats. He is super confident and loves to play with our 5 yr old dog Gajic.
He is housetrained and knows "sit," "leave it," "lay down," "outside," and "last call" (what we say as last potty before bed). His only bad "habit" is that he wants to jump on you when he's playing, but has learned we don't allow that so his remedy is to stand on his hind legs without touching you.
He is super sweet and takes correction very well. He listens and then will boop you a kiss as a "sorry." He is definitely a playful pup at 2 and loves his toys plus running around with all the dogs.
He is respectful of our boundaries as we just lean a baby gate at the stairs and he has learned to not knock it over. However, he does love to sleep with us and his feelings get super hurt when he cannot. He will let you know that his feelings are hurt.
He is such a good boy and is super sweet. I know you'll love him more than we do when you bring him home.
From Past Family: Yoda is a great dog. He’s fully potty trained and sleeps through the night. He is a sharpei mix, about 2years old. He is very energetic and playful in the morning and mid-afternoon. He loves walks, rabbits, and playing tug of war with his humans. He does well on a leash and responds quickly during walks if you need to keep him by your side. When he’s not playing, he likes to relax in a sunny spot of the house. He's been to a few dog parks and has done great with other dogs, though spends more of his time curiously exploring the smells. At night, he loves to cozy up and snuggle with lots of cushions. He gets along well with other dogs. Roscoe has done great with children ranging in age and has never shown any fear or aggression with many kids around, though his energy can be a lot for younger kids as he may unintentionally knock into them while playing.
Yoda was rescued from a shelter in New Mexico. He was adopted last year, but returned due to the family having a baby on the way and having high energy.

Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free Pet insurance. We are not affiliated with Pet First pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets.
The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.

Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.
A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs. Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive. From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639
