Ava
Ava is a five year old shepherd mix that was recently transferred to rescue when her mom passed away after a very short but courageous battle with cancer. She has a soft shy personality and lived with another dog that was protective of her, so as you can imagine, these recent changes have been a big adjustment. Ava is really starting to show her personality as she gets comfortable; she is appropriate with other dogs and beginning to instigate play, loves exploring the world on walks, and enjoys curling up by your feet or on the couch with you. She's in foster with a professional positive-reinforcement trainer who says she's a super gal. Although she takes a little bit of time to warm up to new people, she is extremely sweet. We believe Ava would do best in a quieter home without young children and lots of commotion, and would be fine in a home with respectful dogs that match her energy level. She is fully house trained, and can be crated, though she is non-destructive in the home when left unattended. She would be happy with another dog in the house but dog parks are too overwhelming for her. She demonstrates a lot of body language about how she is feeling. If body language is respected she will quickly build a trustworthy relationship. New owners will need to learn about body language (ex: lip licks, appeasement kisses, whale eyes, eye contact, pet consent). She listens well, knows basic obedience, does need to learn better leash skills. Ava is spayed, fully vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention, and microchipped with registration. Her adoption fee is $350.

Bear
Bear is a six year old Husky mix with a soft and gentle demeanor. He lost his home when his mom passed away after a short battle with cancer.

Bear would prefer to sleep in bed with his people, but will settle for a dog bed if he's not allowed up. Despite being a perfect Colorado dog, this handsome guy has been waiting for nearly two months to find his family. He is neutered, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention, and microchipped with registration. He is $350 to adopt.

Bandit
Bandit is a three month old shepherd mix that was transferred from a southern Colorado sanctuary with four of his siblings.

Bandit is almost completely potty trained, knows how to use a dog door, and should adjust nicely into most lifestyles! He has not been cat-tested, but seems non-reactive and has a sibling that integrated very well in a home with cats. Bandit is neutered, vaccinated for his age, wormed, on heartworm prevention, and microchipped with registration. He is $450 to adopt.

Carmen
Carmen is a two year old mixed breed dog who looks a little bit Aussie and a little bit something unknown. She is very smart with a huge capacity for learning additional obedience, tricks, and more. Carmen is dog-friendly, kid-friendly, housebroken, and crate-trained. Her foster crates her when she leaves the house, as she does like to chew. She is not a runner, but has learned she can clear short fences to get to the front door, so would do best with a privacy fence or in a leash walk household. Carmen is on the petite side at less than 40 pounds, and we think she'd love outdoor activities like hiking. She is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, wormed, treated for parasites, and microchipped with registration. Carmen's adoption fee is $350.

Chloe
Chloe is an eight and a half year old salt and pepper Miniature Schnauzer that is back in the market for a forever home after being rescued from a lifetime of commercial breeding last year. After more than seven years of being valued only for her puppies, Chloe hasn't yet learned to trust all humans, but has made great strides and is a gentle, loyal companion. Chloe spends most of her day snoozing on her favorite bed, though she is learning the joys of couch life. She is housebroken, and loves being outside - she would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard to romp in. When she learns to trust a human, she will follow them diligently around the house with a loose tail, and come in from outside when called. Given her history, Chloe can be overwhelmed by lots of activity and would prefer a quieter home; she does just fine with other dogs, but prefers those that don't overpower her or move too quickly, and would likely benefit from a calm, confident dog to help her acclimate. Because she is still skittish, she may not be a match for anyone with mobility concerns. Chloe would do best in a home with mill dog experience, patience, and a commitment to being her final forever home. With lots of life left to live, Chloe has received a dental in the last year, is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped with registration, and heartworm tested negative. Her adoption fee is $200.
