Story
**Coming soon** Hi I'm Tanaka - Im a 3 month old shiba mix. I'm really friendly and outgoing - I love other dogs and will play all day if given the opportunity.

I am looking for a really active and fun home that will continue my training and socialization. An experienced home would be preferred.  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!)

Story
Lola has been a beloved part of our family for 8 years after we rescued her as a puppy. She is an incredibly sweet, loyal companion who loves being close to her people and will happily follow you from room to room. Lola is mellow, affectionate, and easy to live with—she enjoys pets, snacks, and relaxing on the porch with you for morning coffee. She is fully potty trained, kennel trained, knows basic commands (sit, stay, shake), and responds well to her name. She will bark to let you know when she needs to go out and is used to a dog door during the day. Lola is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations, with no known health issues. She has never shown any aggression toward humans. After a recent altercation with a smaller dog, we believe she would do best in a home without small animals or young children, and ideally with larger dogs or as the only pet.

Fluffy, shy, treat motivated, and sweet. This little ball of fun really enjoys mingling with other dogs and hanging out in the office with staff here at the shelter. Rumi takes a minute to warm up to new people but treats really speed up that process.

Panko

Shiba Inu

Male, 9 yrs 7 mos
Aurora, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Panko needs a home with no kids and no dogs. He has not been tested with cats. He is bonded to his humom most and is generally more drawn to women. He is a bit of a cuddle bug, so he would do best with a female as his primary caregiver and snuggle buddy. Panko has been with his family his entire life. He's always been a bit of an anxious dog, which causes him to guard his precious resources. It has always been manageable by eliminating high value treats and giving him his own safe space to eat his meals. After bringing home their 1st child, Panko's anxiety has increased significantly, making his guarding worse. His family recognizes it's not good for him to live with this high level of stress all the time and have made the difficult decision to rehome him. He will need a foster/adopter who understands or is experienced with resource guarding. He is currently working with a highly skilled and experienced trainer and is making amazing progress with counter conditioning. Adopters MUST be willing to have multiple meet and greets with Panko and begin working on training prior to placement. Continued training after placement will also be a requirement. Panko is house trained and was crate trained as a puppy but hasn't used it in a long time. He's a well-behaved boy, and in a home with no kids or pets, would not have a reason to be crated. We have dog tested him and he may be able to have dog friends in the future but will still need to be an only dog. Panko is used to getting 2 walks a day, which helps with his anxiety, so he will need a family who is active. Panko is a very sweet social Shiba. He loves meeting new people and getting scratches! He will always remember a new friend and will give a tail wag and want to say hello when he bumps into them. He has lots of energy and never tires on his walks. He is used to having a yard and loves to roll in fresh green grass and his favorite game is biting at the water from the hose. If you are interested in Panko, please fill out an adoption application ASAP! If you are already on our waitlist, please reach out to let us know you are interested.

Nymeria

Shiba Inu American Eskimo Dog

Female, Adult
Johnstown, CO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I got Nymeria from a friend who's dogs had an accidental litter. From the day I brought her home, she has been so much fun. She lovessss to run (we used to take her to a local outdoor roller rink and let her chase a tennis ball around), cuddle and be outside. We have two under two now, and while she does well with kids, ours are just too little to be gentle enough with a small dog. She would do well in a home with older kids though who can be gentle! She loves some good pets! She does have a double coat, so brushing is a must! She will be 6 this July (7/7) and I just really want to find her a loving home where she can run around and be loved by someone who can give her the space/time/less stressful environment she deserves for the rest of her life. She gets along great with her brother, Wilkerson (Wilkie) and ideally we could find a home to take them both. If not, she does do well with smaller dogs once she gets to know them but doesn't care for bigger dogs!

Yuki Momo

Shiba Inu

Male, Adult
Highlands Ranch, CO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Yuki is a bonded pair and must be adopted with his sister, Luna Kuma. Yuki (“you-key,” meaning happiness in Japanese) Momo is a 9-year-old loyal, energetic dog who loves his family and thrives on attention. He’s curious, adaptable, and has a charming stubborn streak—especially on walks when he insists on finishing a good sniff. He does great with people and enjoys meeting new faces. Around other dogs, he can be a bit protective and may give a small growl to create space. With proper introductions, he adjusts well and has even lived comfortably with a cat. Yuki is very devoted—he’ll watch for you at the window and stay close by your side. He’s vocal and expressive, sometimes barking, even at night. He would do best with an active, engaged owner who can provide attention and keep up with grooming, as he sheds and dislikes baths. Yuki is a special dog who deserves a loving, attentive home.

This is Chance. He’d had a bit of a rough time before we took him into the rescue, but he’s overcome everything it had thrown at him. Very scared at first, Chance is sadly still a little wary of people He’s very sweet, patient and loving. He’s happy to just have a spot in a comfy home, doesn’t bark or fuss Chance loves to play and be around other dogs. A home with other dogs is a must. He’s very submissive, shares his toys and will turn away from overbearing dogs. He is a little guarded over food and needs to be fed separately He needs a home with patient humans and a doggie or 3 Chance is potty and crate trained will go happily into his crate when asked. He doesn’t do well on a leash, he will chew them and is not happy going on walks. A home with a safe fenced yard is required.
