Story
I am a 2yr American Staffordshire Terrier mix, that is smart, eager to please, with the best smile and the softest low shed coat. I am happy to chill or play; really whatever you want to do I will follow your lead because my goal is to just be around my people. My favorite things to do are to go for walks, ride in the car, fine dining, and play fetch or tug. I am a gold medalist in the cuddle department. I am a tank, so carrying around all this muscle makes me medium to low energy so I prefer multiple short walks a day. My foster parents say that I am extremely intelligent and really want to execute my cues properly. I have had 10 one on one training sessions. I lay down, sit, stay, go to my bed, walk on a leash well, I'm fully potty and crate trained and I LOVE treats which makes me a breeze to train! I do have a puppy brain so sometimes I black out, but overall I'm 95% perfect with bouts of deafness and it's hard for me to focus when I'm scared. Back in October of 2023, I was found on the side of the road. I was neglected, abused and thrown away like trash. I weighed half my body weight and couldn't even stand without shaking, I never had the chance to socialize or be a carefree puppy. My foster parents took me in and have been providing stability and teaching me how to be a dog. I am still very weary of strangers, particularly men, and can be unsure in new surroundings but I'm getting better every day. I even quit Army crawling around the block or hiding from the T.V. From my past abuse and neglect, I take some time to warm up to other dogs. I hate being barked at but will tolerate anything from my dog friends. I want to be liked by everyone so I'm working really hard at introducing myself properly. I currently live with two other dogs and accept that the 20lb, 13 year old dog is the boss. In an ideal world, I would be the center of attention. I am very curious about children and I'm always happy to see them but I like my space and time to process my surroundings without being overwhelmed or forced into interactions. Ideally I would prefer older children, 13 years and older, or a home with no children. I love toys that I can tug, shake, and pull the stuffing out of. If they squeak I am in heaven. I am good at fetch and will play until your arm is tired. I really need kindness, consistency, and continued training. New situations can be overwhelming to me, someone who is confident will allow me to calm down quickly. I am a goofy guy who will promise to make you smile and if you're introverted without a bunch of people coming into the house I would be really grateful. If you prove to be trustworthy, I will show you what love really is because I have so much to give. I may do best as an only dog and in a home with no children. My adoption fee includes a personalized training program.

Story
Cleo is a lovable and playful little 50-pound pocket pitt. Cleo is almost 4 years old and housebroken. She needs to be in an only animal household. She will eventually fight with other animals. She has never been aggressive with a human of any size or sex. And she has no food or toy aggression. I believe she would be wonderful in a house with pre-teen or teen children, but I'd avoid a toddler's household due to Cleo's strength and wildly wagging tail and pittie booty shake. She loves her pets, play, and snuggles. She will follow you to every room you're in and join you anywhere you'll allow. She does know her boundaries and is crate trained.

The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico.  While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.   More questions?  Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/  Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.  A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs.  Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive.  From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639 ##2212374##

Story
From current family: Ruthie is a wonderful, med to high energy pup. She is an angel with kids (we have a 2 and 4yr old) andgood with other dogs. She goes to a doggy day care twice a week where they group play and has a blastand her previous foster had her living with 3 other dogs. She does have her moments with other pups butusually a quick correction or break and its all over. Zero food/treat aggression (can take anything from herat any time - my kids frequently hang out with her while she eats). Loves snuggles and being with herpeople. She does need a lot of training across the board (not sure she has any), will have accidents in thehouse, and chews anything that is left on the floor. She will also get into garbage. She would be best withan active person(s) who can give her the training and daily stimulation she needs (long walks/hikes orpuppy play dates etc). A household with another dog may be good too as she loves to play and that canhelp expend her energy! When she has been properly exercised and stimulated the chewing and hyperactivity goes away. We have a large yard with a dog door but that is not enough.   Ruth was previously adopted, but is looking for a better fit as the current family is unable to give Ruth the time needed for training.  From past foster: Ruth is an amazing, easy, playful, gentle and loving dog. She is not a barker, unless a stranger walks directly along the fence line of her home. Even then, it is not a loud bark. She gets along great with other dogs. She eats with those other dogs, and will even share a food bowl with them. No food aggression at all. She can free roam, and is not destructive. She has been great with people and kids. She loves squeaker toys. She loves to play and snuggle. Ruth had one biological puppy and adopted an abandoned litter and accepted them, nursed them and raised them as if they were her own. Once you meet Ruth you will fall instantly in love. Ruth was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas. Meet and greets are by appointment only.  An approved application is required to schedule a meeting. Check out our events page for upcoming open adoption events!

Hi, I’m Poptart! I’m a young, energetic pup bursting with enthusiasm and ready to take on the world! I’m looking for an active and patient home where I can thrive. Training classes will be a great way to help me adjust and grow into the best companion I can be. I am pushy with other dogs and would do best as the only dog.

Story
Hi there! I'm Luna, a sweet and loving pup who's always ready for kisses, cuddles, and all the pets you can give! I adore spending time with my family and get along great with other dogs. I'm even friendly with cats, though I keep hoping they'll play with me one day! I'm independent but also a fan of attention, so if you're looking for a balance, I'm your girl. I can get anxious when I'm left alone, but I think having a confident doggy sibling would make all the difference. I do really well with other dogs and I even like cats! I've been raised in a home with humans of all ages, from infants to adults, and I've got the perfect temperament to match. My humans lovingly call me their “nanny dog” because I'm gentle, patient, and love to watch over my people. When it comes to playtime, fetch is my favorite! I'm really into durable, tough-chew toys—they keep me busy for hours! If you're looking for a loyal companion who loves to play but is also great at relaxing, I could be the perfect fit for your family. I would do best in a home where someone is home most of the time because I can get anxious when left alone and I love being with my humans. I'd do great with another confident dog. Cats are fine too! My adoption fee includes a training program specific to my needs.
