Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Corazon was surrendered to us with her two other siblings (Jonah and Negra) when their original owners were evicted. They do require training since they don't yet know their names and are 3 months. The dad said they are mixed with Texas heeler and German Shepard. Corazon is the smallest yet, has the most energy out of all the siblings: She loves to play chase and playing with her siblings. All three siblings are somewhat afraid of the world, but their curiosity is what drives them towards new experiences. They used to be afraid of coming inside but now prefer it when if someone will be with them. They are grazers and have not shown signs of being food or toy aggressive. She loves long lasting chews such as, pig skin and dried chicken tenderloin. They do not have vaccines and not spayed. She is very quick to learn especially when it was recall and sit but it has been difficult to teach their name.

Story

Zoe was brought home by my daughter in 2021. I believe she is a lab mix. She is house trained and well behaved. She does have a tendency to be very vocal when outside. Zoe enjoys walks and interactive time. There have been some recent changes to our income and schedules, so we are looking for someone that can provide her with the attention she deserves.

Bandit

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young

Northglenn, CO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Bandit was born in May of 2023. He was originally our next door neighbor's dog. He was surrendered to the shelter in May of 2024 and we got him, rescuing him from "puppy jail" and bringing him to our home where he received lots of love and training. We also have a senior dog in our home who admittedly does not love his new housemate. The dogs tolerate each other, but Bandit wants to play, and our senior (smaller) dog, wants to rest and enjoy his old age in peace. Bandit is a good boy who is ultimately in the wrong home. We are reluctant to bring him back to the shelter after he was already surrendered once. We are not in a rush. Seeking the right home and happy to practice patience until we find it. The adoption fee is included due to a recommendation that we got suggesting that fees help with finding safe homes. Bandit is a strong boy, and we want to make sure he ends up somewhere SAFE where he will be loved and his strength and physical capability will not be exploited.

Story

We acquired this little guy randomly for a. Family who didn’t want to dump in the trash at Walmart. He is less than a year old and has a plan at Banfield. He is super sweet, super energetic and fun dog. He loves other dogs but is scared at first same with people. Tony has been in training and did super well in puppy class but we didn’t get a chance to move on to the next. He is a funny little dude and is need of a playful, good home. He did just get diagnosed with fear and anxiety at the vet so they recommended trazodone before visits. He really needs a person or family that will help and play with him like walks, hiking, etc! He has been camping and did wonderfully.

He's a really good boy. Potty trained and rings bells to let you know he has to potty. He’ll be very nervous at first but once he’s settled in he’s a good listener.
