Story
Meet Yasmin, a 100% pitbull that weighs around 40 pounds! Despite her petite size she is full of energy and life and is looking for a home to call her own! She is a super love bug once she gets to know you and she is protective over her human(s). Yasmin is looking for an active household that is also going to keep up with her training! She comes with 2 free lessons with her trainer! She has been getting basic obedience as well as behavioral modification on and off since we rescued her and is currently back in board and train now and has been the last few months. Yasmin needs a strong handler and someone that has owned a pitbull before. She can live with other dogs just fine and she does take time to warm up to new people in the household so either no kids in the home or a very dog savvy kid that will understand Yasmins boundaries. She would love to go on walks, hikes, camping, to the beach, etc! She is up for anything and she does great in the car. Looking for a new adventure buddy Yasmin is your girl! She is currently in the Portland, Oregon area with her trainer and can also be adopted anywhere in California! If interested in adopting Yasmin you can fill out the adoption application here www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptionsJanuary 22, 2025, 12:18 am

Story
Meet Teddy! He is really smart, really sweet and while he has plenty of energy the thing he loves most in the world is to sit and cuddle with you on the sofa or on a super soft blanket on the bed. Teddy is looking for a loving family to spend the rest of his years with. He will need an experienced, caring and patient owner. Teddy isn't cat friendly and would do well with older children only because he is a larger dog.

Story
Little Elphie is one of the kindest dogs we have met! She adores children and other dogs, and is well behaved. She is crate trained and house-trained. She is about five months old and weighs about 24 pounds, so she will stay on the smaller size of medium. She is a beautiful sable colored gal with a white heart on her chest. She adores the child in her foster home and will do almost anything for some love or food:) Elphie learns quickly because she is so intelligent, and though she does enjoy the taste of shoes, she is very well behaved and quiet in the house. She is a complete snuggle for sure, and will amaze you with her ability to understand and want to please you. Her foster mom said she is the sweetest dog they have ever fostered and loves everything and everyone. We do think there may be some smaller shepherd in there, but the foster is convinced she has lab in her because of her incredibly delightful disposition. She is going to be an amazing family dog, and is ready to meet you all!

Hi! I am Harper! I am a 5 year old mix. My family has all kinds of nick names for me - Harper charper, chips, chappy, thicks, etc. I have found myself in a pickle and searching for a new home because my older doggie sister and I dont always see eye to eye.  I have a 3 year old human brother that is my best bud. He’s always respectful around me so we spend a lot of time hanging out. I try to get the cat to play with me too but she never goes for it. I don’t chase her or anything, just want a cuddle buddy! My favorite past time is cuddling under a blanket, preferably in front of a warm fireplace. My family isn’t the outdoor type but I bet I would like going on adventures. I don’t like when other dogs walk behind my house.. I have jumped a 4ft fence one time so now I require supervision for my outings. But other dogs at a dog park? No problem! My family is heartbroken and they will miss me because I’m (usually) a very good girl! 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 $200 and I am spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations for my age ##956877##

Story
Keto is looking for a foster home...  email eaplevergreen@eapl.com if you can foster her. Keto is an amazing dog who loves people and other dogs. Not cats though. She does amazing when she goes with me to PT. She lies right by the table and doesn't move. She walks wonderfully on a leash and loves to go for short walks outside, in the store, or wherever an adventure takes her. She ignores everything with a simple command of "leave it." Her downside.....she has extreme separation anxiety that requires a daily dose of Paxil. She would do best with a foster/adopter who is home most of the day or who she can go with on errands or adventures. Identified triggers other anxious dogs or the teapot whistle.  What happens when she has a meltdown- she gets destructive ripping apart blankets, beds, and pillows. Chewing on metal bowls peeing and pooping inside. Whatever happened to this girl before being rescued has traumatized her greatly.  With proper behavior modification training and the right people, she will be the best dog ever.    Why am I looking to move her? Because I travel for work and don't have the time she needs. I will find tools to make it work until the perfect fit comes along. I believe she deserves so much more! I have other dogs that are feeding off her anxiety as well and one of my little dogs suffered a broken leg as a result of my dog feeding off Keto's anxiety thus stepping on the little dog.    Again, Keto is an amazing dog in every other situation. She needs the right person and another dog would be fine as long as they are not anxious.   Is Keto the right companion dog for you to foster or adopt?  Do you have what she needs?  She has the love to give you back 10-fold!  Put in an application at eapl.com or to foster her, email us at eaplevergreen@eapl.com February 15, 2025, 3:39 pm

What can we say about sweet Cheyenne? One year old Cheyenne may only have one eye but she makes up for it with her huge, loving heart and giant bat ears! We don't know her background but she is still adjusting to posh indoor-living and can be shy at first so she's looking for a loving, patient home. Luckily, it's pretty short-lived as she blossoms quickly and becomes the best cuddle-buddy you could ever imagine.  She must have another dog in the home as she gains so much confidence from them and they help her understand that she's safe. Plus, she loves every single dog she meets and lives to play and roughhouse with her doggie friends. Don't be fooled by her pictures, Cheyenne and her huge heart come wrapped in a snack-sized package! ##2277337##

Lee was adopted from a shelter in Denver at about a year old. His life prior is unknown but he came into my life and heart at a wonderful time. He’s now 6 years old. He loves to snuggle on the couch and loves a long walk in the sunshine. He is a solo guy and loves to get all the attention from the people around him. He will keep you warm at night and keep you company on long car rides - his favorite! Lee is looking for someone who can give him attention and help him get his energy out via walks, hikes, and playtime. He is best solo, though he has had a couple dog friends throughout his life. He’s goofy, an old soul, very wise, and loving. He loves people and will be your best buddy.

These pups are in Boulder, Colorado too!

Story
Greetings and salutations, Colorado, it’s me, Gonzo! I like to fancy myself a courteous and honorable gent, and my mom always told me begging is bad manners, but the Underdogs assured me that begging for a hero to help save you is the exception to that rule. Allow me to properly introduce myself. My name is Gonzo and I’m a 2-3 year-old gentle giant Boxer/American Bulldog mix buddy and I'm crossing all my paws for a hero foster or adopter. My Underdogs foster folks can only surmise that I was once somebody’s well-loved guy before I ended up in the dog clink.  I have impeccable bathroom manners, walk politely on leash and lounge quietly on my dog bed.  I’ll never know why my previous peoples stopped loving me and why they left me to wander the cold winter streets alone. What I do know, though, is that I’ve never stopped loving the peoples, ALL the peoples. Because man alive, do I love them! I could sweetly lean into them for pets and cuddles all day long. And if they gave me proper permission, I’d also happily cover them in my signature Gonzo smooches. It’s also my sole mission in life to make them laugh with my hilarious antics and sweet demeanor. I'm a calm dude in the home, but I also love to go for runs, walks and hikes. Basically, I'm down for all the Colorado adventuring.  I do well around other good fit dog friends, but my best fit home may be one where I'm your only four-legged best bud. Believe me, I've got so much love to give, one Gonzo guy is all you'll ever need. I truly am such an easy well-mannered giant lover, I just know you'll love me once you meet me.  I'm neutered, vaccinated  If you’re interested in learning more about me and hopefully set up a meeting, please fill out an adoption application at https://underdogsrescue.org/adopt-form/  and if you're interested in helping spring me from this sad and lonely dog clink by helping to foster me, I would be soo sooo grateful, please fill out a foster application at https://underdogsrescue.org/foster-form/ .  ##1906137##
