Story
Lila is deaf, and that is her special need. And she is quite happy and loving. Lila LOVES people so very much and will walk into you and curl right up, getting love and snuggles. She has been well socialized with other dogs and the cat that lives at the foster home. She did not initially like the cat, but now she snuggles right up with him and enjoys having him around. She is a gentle girl who is learning her way around the best way to take her cues. She is spayed and microchipped, and is a wonderful companion for someone who is around often and wants to help Lila continue to evolve. She walks well on a leash, never goes too far, and loves attention. Lila enjoys playing with a Kong food dispenser rolling around the kitchen floor (and we enjoy watching her play with that as well!). She has learned what it is to play and what dog toys are now, and that has been the best evolution to watch! She is going to need some training to figure out that she needs to look to her owner for cues. We have been working on that, but she needs more work. She has started to look at our faces for direction, though she does not seem to comprehend the "thumbs up" many deaf dogs can respond to. She will need someone who is willing to do training specific to deaf dogs. Lila does not love going in the car, but goes every day and has gotten much better. She does still drool a bit. The more she is restrained in the car, the better she does. She can be a little picky about food, but loves chicken and puppy food, and always enjoys treats. She is exceptional, and we know there is her person out there knowing that she is such an outstanding girl who deserves all of the love that a person has to offer. She has such a tender and loving disposition, you will fall in love immediately.

Story
Our family adopted Fin when he was 5-7 months old from Lifeline Puppy Rescue in Brighton, Colorado. He is a playful, energetic dog who is the perfect companion for anyone who enjoys the outdoor Colorado lifestyle. True to his breed he is full of life and loves to stay active. He would make a wonderful addition to an active household where he can burn off his energy. We love him dearly but cannot provide him with the active lifestyle he deserves.

Story
Hello nice person. You say you are looking for a dog, well holy sausages, I am a dog and I’m looking for a human! That has gotta be karma. My name is Cooper, but my foster mom calls me Super Cooper. Do you want to see my toys? I have a whole collection. I particularly like crinkle toys and playing tug-of-war with my siblings. When I want your attention, I honk like a goose, which my foster mom thinks is so funny, but hey, that’s just one side of my unique personality. This is Cooper’s foster mom. Cooper’s other siblings were adopted last week; the result has been quite a transformation in his personality. His sisters “ran the show”; he was content to stay in the background. Now that he has the place to himself (other than my 2 dogs) his personality is blooming. He just loves following me around everywhere inside and out; he has become a personal assistant. He also has learned sit, and down, and has come a long way in his potty training. If you’re looking for a dog who is loving and loyal, i.e. BFF, Cooper is your guy. In fact, he is lying next to me as I write this. Come meet him this Saturday ##2297826##

Are you looking for an absolute buddy?!  Liam is it!  This young guy is zesty for life outside the shelter!  Walk? Yep! Hike or run? Double Yep!  Need a work from home buddy? Also yep! Need a cat sitter? Liam is your guy and loves snuggling up to cats or playing gentle! He loves to follow you around and is equal parts adventure buddy and chill mode.  He is super smart and very eager to please! He is kennel trained, he prefers the wire ones and somewhere he can see you - but if it needs to be alone he relaxes right into his space.  He entertains himself with toys and will play tug with your playful dog! He learned the dog door with about 4 demonstrations of how it works - did I mention super smart?  He also learned sit and with the right hand movement to ground will lay down too! Training him will be a breeze and a great bonding experience for both him and you! He leans in for pets and absolutely loves to be loved on.  Come meet him Saturdays at Petco Denver, 4100 E. Mexico Ave from 12-3:30pm.  ##2046830##

Story
My Australian Shepherds are a 5 and 6-years-old, energetic, and intelligent girl who was adopted from a farm in Montrose, Colorado, in 2018(male) and 2019(female). They are incredibly loyal, affectionate, and playful, always eager for adventure and companionship. I am looking for a loving and active home where she has plenty of space to run and play. The ideal home would be with a family or individual that would take in both of my Australian Shepards. This family or individual is someone who enjoys outdoor activities and has experience with energetic, intelligent dogs, ensuring she gets the attention, stimulation, and care she deserves.
