I'm Babs, but recently my foster parents started calling me Chewy, short for Chewabacca. I can do a great impression of Chewbacca! I might not be able to travel the universe, but I do well in the car, on the way to new adventures. Sometimes I take a few minutes to warm up, but I'm getting better at meeting new people and going places every day.    My favorite part of the day includes playing with my big foster pup sister, and going for walks with her. I do well on a leash with another dog, but I get a bit excited and occasionally pull. My foster family is working on that with me. I'm doing great at sleeping through the night and going outside to use the restroom.    I'm generally pretty laid back and would likely make a great office dog, I'm food motivated and have enjoyed learning new commands like sit and down.    I love kids, but my foster family would love to see me go to a home with an older, well trained dog to show me the ropes.  show less

Camilla is a one year old ball of love and energy waiting for her forever family. She is about 40 lbs and her coat is a beautiful mix of different browns. She is very intelligent, she figured out our dog door and some of our house rules faster than any other foster we have watched, however, she loves to push the boundaries of the rules to see what she can get away with. She loves people, and we believe with the right person willing to help her focus on training, she will be a perfect pup. She doesn’t seem to have an aggressive bone in her body, and she loves to play with dogs of all sizes! She is still pretty young and likes to steal toys, and be jealous of pats, but we think that will all calm down with age. There is nothing she likes more than being loved by whichever human is nearest her. She can't wait to go on adventures with her new people even if it is just to the couch for some snuggling. Message her soon because she is excited to meet you! show less

Hello! I’m Cara, a 4 month old, beautiful, confident girl looking for a loving home. There is a big world out there and I want to explore it with you!  I am an active, smart girl who would love to be your outdoor buddy, running, hiking, or camping, etc. I am quickly learning many commands including sit, come, and down. While I’m mostly potty trained, I’m still a pup, so I do have the occasional accident at night. I enjoy playing with other dogs sometimes, but I would prefer to be the only dog in my home. It could be said that I’m part mountain goat as I like to climb and can often be found climbing on furniture or tables. Why not, right?! That said…I  need a home with a tall fence.  An experienced dog owner would be best for me given my intelligence and activity level.  Oh, and you’d never know it now, but I had mange when I first came to Colorado. I have received treatment for it and am now recovered. My hair looks a little funny as I'm still regrowing patches, but with continued TLC I should have a beautiful, full, shiny coat in no time!  I am being fostered in Arvada, CO. Think I might be a good fit for you? I would love to meet you and find out. Please submit an adoption application today!  show less

I am the happiest dog you'll ever meet! I love to prance around with a toy, wrestle with other dogs, and explore the yard. All the while, my tail will be wagging and I'll have a big smile on my face. I am eager to please and like to learn new tricks. I am potty trained except for an occasional accident at night. I am also crate trained. I have a unique bark with a howl. An apartment would be a hard place for me because I like to talk. I get along well with other dogs and would love to have a playmate who could help me with gaining more confidence. I also really like all the kids that I've met. I can be a little shy when I first meet someone but I do warm up pretty quick. I'm not fond of being carried but I do like snuggles.  I'm looking for my forever home! If you might be it, I'd love to meet you! Fostered in Arvada. show less

Is your dog looking for a friend to play, nap and sniff stuff with? Do you like company when using the bathroom, the kitchen, the bedroom or the yard? Dexter is the perfect mix of loyal, active companion and couch potato! He’s a medium-sized, one year old sweetheart with a gorgeous, shiny black coat. Dexter loves to go for walks, hikes and jogs but afterwards is perfectly content vegging out to catch up on the latest show for the evening. He walks well on a leash and generally knows how to heel. He is very food motivated and loves to learn! Dexter is great with other dogs, albeit still a tad awkward when trying to play. He will need a home with another dog companion, as he gets anxious if left completely alone. When another dog is home with him he is a perfect gentleman and will nap in his crate! He is good with kids, but does have a habit of jumping up (he's working on it :P) so younger kids would probably be a little overwhelmed by him. No cats please. This guy would be the perfect addition to any family looking for a constant companion for humans and pups alike! Dexter is being fostered in Denver, CO. show less

Little "Sophie" (Diamond just doesn't suit her) is one of those dogs that makes people say "AWW!" as she wiggles all over. She is a loving and friendly soul who loves to be close to her person, insists snuggling, wants you to pet her-- and also loves to go places, especially walks and hikes. While she has energy and a curious nature, this 35 pounder is also nicely behaved: housebroken, crate trained, sleeps through the night, seldom barks, knows which toys are hers, is quiet if you work from home (if you remove squeaky toys, of course), rides nicely in the car, walks great on a leash, and takes treats politely.  She's been described as looking and acting like a "permanent" puppy, but with the advantages of being full grown! I like to be the center of your attention and would like to be the only dog.  I am not a fan of cats  Because I do still feel like a puppy, I would do best in a home without children as I can knock them over in my excitement    I am currently being fostered in Durango CO.  show less

EB is a fun loving puppy with plenty of energy to play all day, and would make a great walking/hiking companion someday.  She does love to snuggle after a good play sesh. She is working on house training, using a doggie door and we just started working with a harness and leash. She is fine with kids and cats (and no prey drive towards my chickens). She is highly treat motivated, and loves meal time.  Located north of Colorado Springs.   show less

ADOPT ME!! “Hi I'm Lucas - A handsome and sweet, 30 lb, heeler mix boy who is just under 2 year-old. I am looking for my forever family. I am being fostered in Durango, CO and peacefully share my space with kids and cats. I'm great at going potty outside, giving snuggles and playing! My favorite thing is being with my humans. I get a little anxious when I can't be with them, but I'm working on getting more comfortable with that. I sleep well in my crate at night (my crate is beside my foster mom's bed). I'm learning about walking on a leash and have been making good progress. I will need a home with a dog friend who likes to play and will show me the ropes. I'll also need someone who is home often and can be patient as I warm up to new situations. Once I'm comfortable, I am a love bug who will be your best friend! Interested in learning more about me? Please apply to adopt!" Brought to you through our partnership with PetSmart Charities. show less

Lucky is indeed just that! This super friendly boy loves people and is so thankful for being rescued.    As a boy from the Navajo Nation, he would gladly be your hiking buddy! Lucky loves to run and spend time outside. He is a wonderful size too at 50lbs  He hasn't quite gotten the hang of using his mouth to pick up toys but he loves chasing the ball! You will just have to go pick it up to throw it again...  Lucky consistently shows his puppy side as he trots around to any person he can meet for lots of head rubs. While uninterested in other dogs he is VERY interested in small animals (like cats, bunnies, chickens, etc) and would do best in a house with only dogs or as a lone wolf!    Lucky would love to go home with you!  show less

I'm a reserved girl who likes to do things at my own pace. I'm very smart but I can be a little stubborn. I don't like to be rushed to do something and would prefer to learn about the world at my own speed. I can be nervous about new experiences and need someone who is patient with me. I also would like another dog to play with and gain confidence from. I am completely potty trained except for when I get nervous and tinkle a little. I am learning sit and come.  I had mange but have received treatment for it. I might look a little funny but with a little time, I'll have a beautiful shiny coat. Fostered in Arvada. show less

Paprika is a sweet and shy girl with a spunky side.   She’s looking for a calm and patient adopter who will help her gain some confidence. She would make an excellent running buddy. She would be a great hiking buddy, but likely only on a leash as she has a high prey drive and loves to chase little animals. She can easily jump over a 4 foot fence but always comes back when she’s done chasing the critters.   Paprika is dog friendly and enjoys playing with her foster dog siblings but can occasionally show resource guarding with her food.  When she is comfortable, she does the best little happy dance and jumps around on her hind legs.      She is not a fan of a kennel but does well in the house.  She will stand by the back door and let you know she needs to go out.  She sleeps quietly through the night and loves a few brief moments of cuddles.  After her initial cuddles, she will give you space.      Paprika rides great in the car and has great athletic potential.  She sometimes barks and howls when she can see the rabbits but not get to them.  Her leash skills are pretty great for likely never seeing a leash before. Paprika is being fostered in Colorado Springs and she is ready to find her forever home.  She is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped.  show less

Shaggy, short legged mama Rosie has been told she’s too big and too little, at 30lbs we think she’s perfect! She is around 2 years old so young enough to steal shoes but old enough to not have accidents in the house. Rosie is the perfect size with the personality to match. She loves belly rubs and half of playing fetch (she’s not spectacular about bringing it back). show less

Taco is a sweet, mellow, adventure-sized pup who is ready to hang out on the couch with you, join you on a hike or run, or hang out at the crag. He has expressive ears and has mastered both downward- and upward-dog. He absolutely LOVES to be outside and can sit outside taking in his surroundings for hours on end. He is playful with his foster parents and likes to play with his toys and run around with zoomies in the yard. While it is hard to identify Taco’s breed(s), he has vast, highly maneuverable, satellite ears, and with a small stature and short legs clocks in around 50lbs.  Taco can be unsure around other dogs; his forever home will need to be patient with this on busy hiking trails and may consider socialization training (we can provide suggestions for this). In his time with his foster parents, he has gotten much more comfortable with new people and enjoys his foster mom's group runs. With the right dog, and slow, intentional introductions, Taco can be an excellent playmate. Taco could do well in a house with another dog who is friendly and playful. (see videos below) Taco is housetrained and communicates well if he needs to burn off some energy outside or relieve himself.  Taco would do best with patient dog owners with access to his own off-leash outdoor space (dog parks are not a good idea for Taco at this time but intentional playdates are great!). Taco is crate-trained, non-destructive, and learned “sit” and “no” or "hey" very quickly. Taco has not been cat-tested but has a significant prey-drive outside with bunnies and squirrels. The vet that conducted his neuter surgery estimates that he is 2-3 years old. Taco is being fostered in Wheat Ridge, CO.
