Story
About Luke Luke is a very loving, almost 4-year-old dog. I adopted him when he was 12 weeks old from a rescue that saved his mom and litter. He has been a wonderful part of our family ever since. Luke has lots of love and energy and would thrive with a family or individual who has the time to play with him and give him attention. He would do best in a home with a yard where he can run around and burn off his energy. He gets along great with both big and small dogs and has been wonderful with my one-year-old child, though like many energetic dogs he doesn’t always realize how big he is. Luke is house trained and crate trained, and his crate is his safe space. He loves attention, cuddles, and being around people. He has no medical issues. He does have a slightly sensitive stomach, so he does best on a low-fat gastrointestinal dog food that keeps his tummy happy. We are looking for a very loving and well-suited home where Luke will get the time, attention, and activity he deserves

Story
Toby is the most loving dog ever! Here is the good; he just wants to be around you all the time. He gets along with everyone, kids, dogs and cats. He is super super super friendly and loves his ears rubbed. He understands sit, stay, go outside, no, get down, stop licking, come on, lets go, are you hungry, It's Friday...do you want a bone, and stop barking. He does beg a bit, but you just have to tell him to "go lay down". Now the Bad; you can't leave food on any surface, including kitchen counters or tables, he will get up on them. You can't leave bathroom doors open, he will eat the toilet paper. All trash cans have to have lids, he won't tip them over, but he will get into them if they are open. He likes to bark but a bark collar fixes it...barks at squirrels, the doorbell, when someone is at the door even if he knows them (more of an excited bark). He does not do well at dog parks, he likes to hump other dogs. He is male so he likes to mark his territory.

BINDI

Australian Shepherd

Female, 10 yrs 1 mo
Brighton, CO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
She’s a gentle, sensitive pup who needs a little time to feel safe, but once she trusts you, she enjoys peaceful walks and settling into a calm routine. Her previous owner shared that she’s potty trained and crate trained, which makes her an easy companion at home.Because she can be timid and unsure around new people, she’s looking for an experienced adopter—ideally someone familiar with shy dogs—and a quiet home with kids 13+ who can move slowly and help her build confidence.With patience and kindness, she’ll blossom into a loyal, steady friend.

Story
Our beautiful Rhodi is the sweetest girl going, and she is looking for a special place to lay her head! Rhodi is about 40 pounds and is a fluffy girl. She is friendly and playful at times and is learning to feel safe in different environments. She has enjoyed getting to know the other dogs at the office and has been fine with cats in the home. She uses the crate, but does not love it, and is house trained and sleeping through the night. She walks well on the leash and is a pretty mellow dog right now, though we do expect that to change based on her breeds as she gains faith in people. She currently goes to work with her foster where she interacts with people and other dogs and then goes home and is the only dog. She is fine as an only dog, but would do well with another friendly dog as well and that would help her gain some more confidence. Rhodi does have some of that BC/Aussie vocalization and nervousness. Though she does not have an aggressive bone in her body and she was loved, she is learning to trust people again. She can be a little head shy and worried, but as long as you move slowly and she gets to know you, she will give kisses and does love to be pet. We would prefer Rhodi go to a home that is understanding of her need for calm environments and a confident dog owner. We would not have her around young children and we would want an owner who is around more than not. She is going to be a spectacular dog, but she needs a home where she can continue to decompress so that she can be the best dog ever moving forward. She deserves the best!

Story
Bruce is a 1-year-old, sweet, goofy, high-energy dog who brings a lot of personality wherever he goes. He’s affectionate, curious, and still very much in that fun, playful stage of life.He would thrive in a home with a backyard and someone who enjoys an active lifestyle — long walks, hikes, or just getting outside regularly. He’s not a couch potato, he wants to be part of things.This isn’t a rushed decision. I care deeply about Bruce and want to find the right home for him — someone who has the time, space, and patience to give him the life he deserves. He has a lot of love to give, and I want to make sure it goes to the right person.
