Story
If you're searching for your new best friend, look no further!  Reggie is a 2 year old pit mix who found himself set to be euthanized at a Texas shelter because of his weight.  Thankfully, a good samaritan saw just how wonderful this guy is and decided to give him a second chance.  Reggie is SO grateful and can't wait to have a family of his very own.  He loves people, especially kids, and can't seem to get enough belly rubs!   Reggie has since been recovering at a foster home in TX and they cannot say enough great things about this boy.  He rides the elevator in their apartment building and enjoys going to the dog park to socialize with other pups!  We would love to get Reggie to Colorado, so if you can open your heart to adopt Reggie, please apply!  If you would like to adopt/foster please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip. Please note, Circle 2 Rescue cannot guarantee the breed, composition or ages of our dogs as we usually have limited history prior to them entering the rescue. ##2153716##

Story
Blocky headed cutie pie! Meet Rufus! A fun loving boy looking forward to settling down after the numerous transitions in his life recently. Rufus enjoys playing with toys, going on long walks and hikes, and opportunities for casual recreation with other dogs! Once settled down and comfortable in his routine, Rufus is likely to be a couch potato -- after a long day of fun, he can't wait to pile on the couch for movie nights with his new family!Our walkers tell us that when they enter his kennel to leash him up, he will greet them energetically and enthusiastically. Once outside, he may alternate between pulling hard because the smells are just so darn enticing and then relaxing and walking calmly. When they take him into one of the play yards, they better have a good supply of tennis balls because he LOVES a good game of fetch and when the weather is warm, a nice dip (well actually a lot of splashing) in one of the play pools.Rufus will only be rehomed to a family with children 10 years of age and older and is recommended for a home without other dogs at this time. Meet with him today! Primary Color: Brown Weight: 73.2 Age: 2yrs 2mths 1wks

Story
Brutis is hoping for a calm and stable home where he can feel his best. This sweet boy can take some time to become comfortable, so he'll appreciate a gentle and patient adopter. Life in the shelter has been a bit hard for Brutis but he is ready to start down the road to feeling better and is working closely with our behavior team to develop skills that will aid him in learning to relax or bounce back with greater resilience.Brutis may not have the greatest kennel presence, but don't let that stop you from meeting him. We anticipate Brutis may take a bit of time to adjust to a new routine. We've heard from our volunteers that on his walks he becomes confident, attentive to them, enjoys taking his time to stop and sniff, and will politely show you his gentlemanly sits and paw shakes.Brutis deserves a home where he can be loved and cherished, where his gentle spirit can shine. He will only be rehomed to a family with children 10 years of age or older. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 41.2 Age: 3yrs 2mths 0wks

Story
Hi! My name is Mbappe (pronounced M bah pay). My name is a good one because there is a soccer ball player with that name and I’m black and white simuttlar to a soccer ball. Plus I’m athletic and active! I am a girl dog. I’ve had 10 days of training with Bark Dog Training. So I learned a few things. I know SIT, DOWN, and walking on a stringy thing, hmmmm the humans call them leashes. It makes sure your human is attached to you. I am also house & crate trained. I get along well with other dogs & kids (not tested with cats). I am a typical active pup and of course, I still enjoy to exercise my chompers, as an avid chewer, expect to take me to the Pet Store to pick out many hard bones. Many! I can be a bit shy on first introductions, but warm up fast. I would love an active family that will also continue with my training because my brain still has so much room in there for more words that make my body do things for treats. You know! In case you’re interested in how I came out to have these ears and adorable tuxedo, here’s what my ingredients are: She has had a DNA done and is 64% Pit Bull, 15.5% Great Pyrenees, 10% lab, 5% blue heeler, and 5% Staffordshire. I think they forgot 99% good girl! And I’m black and white not blue so what’s that about!?! I can’t wait to meet you, remember, I need a brief warm up so don’t expect immediate wiggles! You will get them though. Basics: Mbappe- spayed female, chipped, vaccinated, 7 months, large, black/white, Pitbull mix, great with dogs and kids, not cat tested, potty and crate trained, shy at first but warms up quick, doing training class, active How To Adopt: Please sign up to adopt me.

Story
Chief is a beautiful 2 year old Staffy mix, unfortunately I have to re-home him due to my current situation, I am heartbroken. Chief is the most lovable dog he will always be there for you. He is a great and smart dog, unfortunately he is not trained. He is potty trained, but he is very reactive. He barks at new people/ animals. He pulls on the leash. He is not food motivated. I don't have the resources to properly train and exercise him. He needs someone, or a family, who is willing to spend time with him and train him to be the best dog because I know he can be.

Story
Luna is a five-year-old boxer with lots of love to give! She is a very energetic and playful dog. Luna has been previously attacked on a walk, so other dogs make her nervous. She is potty trained, goofy, loves humans, loves pets, play, and learning, and would do best an only dog with loving caretakers. Luna is allergic to poultry and needs anti-itch shots every 3 months or daily pills to avoid her getting red, inflamed, burning, itchy, and very irritated spots all over her body. Due to Luna's breed, she also needs antiacid medication. When she is on both, she feels so much better and enjoys her life so much more. Luna likes to spend her days playing, receiving pets, and taking naps. She is very smart and trainable, and definitely wants to bond with her person. Her cleverness can sometimes lead to her being a little mischievous, but with her new trainer, we are working on self-control, calmness, enrichment, and making good choices. Luna's mom just passed and is now hoping to find her next loving home. Luna will come with some free training sessions with her behavior specialist. Her owner's family is waiving the adoption fee. This is a courtesy post for them. If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  ##2204779##
