Story
Meet Chewy! She is a sweet girl who has come a long way and shown she is excited for a new life! She can be shy when meeting new people and will probably appreciate a patient and gentle adopter who can allow her to approach life at her own pace, so a quiet home will be ideal.We have heard from our volunteers that Chewy is a sweetheart searching for pets, easy to walk, inquisitive, sits politely and excels in catching treats when they are tossed to her.Chewy will only be placed in a home without other dogs due to guarding behavior around her food bowl and favorite toys, and she's recommended to live without young children at this time.

Meet Lucy, a dog with an infectious personality that brightens up any room she enters. She's sweet, friendly, and always ready to make you laugh with her playful antics. Lucy loves playing fetch, long walks, and providing endless entertainment with her funny, joyful nature. Lucy can be selective about her canine companions, so she's recommended for an introduction at shelter if considering a multidog home, and she will only be placed with children 10 or older.

There's so much to appreciate about a senior dog! They are who they are, they're content with a more relaxed exercise routine, and they lounge well. If that's your speed, too, Libby may be a perfect fit for you! Libby and her big ears are hoping to fly out of the shelter and into your home following this transitional phase of her life.Libby has enjoyed pets, treats and going on sniff adventures during her time here. We've been told by our volunteers that she is easy to walk and knows how to sit politely.Libby may enjoy opportunities for casual recreation with other dogs, but at this time, she will only be placed in a home without other canines. So if you are looking for that movie night companion to sit and snuggle with perhaps Libby is just what you are looking for. Meet this sweetheart today!

Story
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.

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

Story
Meet Sapphire, a brave and resilient girl who’s looking for a forever home where she can be adored and cherished. After a rough start, Sapphire has overcome serious health challenges and is now thriving in her foster home. She was diagnosed with PRAA (Persistent Right Aortic Arch), a condition that made eating difficult, but after a successful surgery and a lot of love, Sapphire is now able to enjoy both dry and wet food like a champ! Sapphire is a sweet, affectionate pup who loves to play fetch and will happily chase toys in the yard. She’s also great in her kennel, both overnight and during naps. While she does best as a solo dog, she’s a wonderful companion who craves unconditional love from her people. Sapphire walks beautifully on a leash and is well-mannered, making her the perfect match for a family who can provide her with the attention and care she deserves. If you're looking for a loving and loyal companion, Sapphire would love to meet you! Apply online at (www.lolasrescue.com)!
