Story
We adopted Odin from Lifeline Puppy Rescue in Brighton, CO. He is currently listed on their page for adoption. The fee we would charge would be donated to the rescue. He is 2 yrs old. He loves to play with other dogs (goes to daycare occasionally) but has developed aggression towards our older male dog in our home. It has been suggested he may do better with a female dog or be solo dog. He LOVES to play fetch! Been through several rounds of training. Basic commands- sit, high five, down, off, "place" for crate training, leave it and "danger" for recall. He does have some allergies. Allergic to grass so is on Apoquel. We have had pet insurance on him since he came home. From reading the insurance paperwork, the insurance should be transferrable, which would help cover his Apoquel. Odin loves to cuddle with members of the family including small children. He is an anxious boy though so requires time to warm up to new people. On Prozac over last 4 weeks to help with anxiousness.

Story
I adopted our sweet boy two years ago from a very toxic environment. He was being trained to fight and be mean, but he’s as sweet as can be. He is roughly 2 years old, unfortunately I never got his birthday. He is very much sweet and good with everybody, but he is still very scared and timid. We have been trying to get him out of that, but he had a rough time as a puppy. He is chipped, has a kennel, and lots of dog food. He needs space to run and play and needs someone to absolutely love him because he is so sweet! I’m moving to a place that will not allow me to have him anymore and I’m destroyed but happy that someone will get my sweet boy and take great care of him.

Story
Ginny is a super sweet girl who we have had since July 2024! She came to us as a stray dog who spent the first 1.5(ish) years of her life on the streets and she has been spoiled rotten ever since. Ginny loves every human and dog that she meets but is not cat-friendly. She loves to sit outside to watch the trees and the squirrels, and will gladly cuddle with you any day or night. She is house trained and knows the commands sit, wait, and come, and walks well on leash and off leash. Her ideal home would be either an only-pet home with humans that are home bodies and able to give her constant love and enrichment or a home with another doggy friend she can play with when she wants to.

Reef is an adorable puppy with a sweet disposition and a goofy personality. He’s looking for a loving home where he can grow, learn, and share his boundless affection and playful spirit.

His goofy antics and playful nature make him an absolute delight to be around. Whether he’s chasing his tail, playing with his toys, or cuddling up for a nap, Reef’s charm is irresistible. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a sweet, goofy puppy, Reef is eager to meet you.
