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.

Or, how about these Australian Shepherds in cities near Thornton, Colorado

Story
"Jiffy is a gentle soul looking for a patient and loving forever home. This sweet pup has a mellow temperament, making him the perfect companion for a calm and peaceful household. He's fully potty trained and has excellent manners, making him an easy addition to any family. Jiffy gets along beautifully with dogs and cats alike, showing a friendly and respectful nature towards all furry friends. He would do great in a household with animals already. He has a healthy curiosity about the world around him but can be a bit shy around new people. Give him a day or two, and you’ll see him warm up into a loyal and affectionate companion. If you're looking for a low-maintenance, loving, and gentle pup who just needs a little time to come out of her shell, Jiffy might be your perfect match! " ##2314330##

Story
Letif has come so far!!! He’s been in foster for 4 years and 3 months. He was a super shy feral little pup when he came in. He’s made so much progress!He loves to have you throw toys in the yard for him, and he sometimes brings it back! He really enjoys having time spent with him, but is a touch shy still. I would say mostly potty trained because he never goes on the inside of his kennel. He is a super happy dog! It looks like he is smiling a lot!! He’s done well with kids.He is a little more shy with men, but I think he would come around pretty quickly! Want a new happy best friend!? Apply to adopt him today on our website www.souldog.org. If you have any questions, email adopt@souldog.org.

Story
Welcome this little bear into your home, and you’ll fall in love. Rainy Day is the sweetest loaf who loves everyone and every dog he meets. He is a bit lazier than his foster sister but absolutely loves chomping; sticks, treats, foster mom fingers (when she allows it). His favorite pastime is sitting on the snow pile on the porch and looking out at the world (okay, backyard). He would do well in a home with anyone, including kids but could use another animal to play with or at least get out a lot for play dates, and if nothing else, lots to entertain him. House training is in progress but is completely crate trained. Be careful meeting him, cause once you stare into those sweet eyes, or catch one of his contemplating head tilts, you may not be able to resist his charms.He is in a foster home, if you’re interested in meeting him please fill out an application on our website at www.souldog.org and we will be in touch with you for next steps! Email adopt@souldog.org with any questions!

Story
I may photograph like a demure, mature woman sometimes, but do not let that fool you-I am full of puppy delight and joy. I love treats, playing with my brother, kissing and playing with my big foster dog sister, and checking out the cat. If I see a lap I climb in it, and if I see a dog I want to kiss it. I am starting to discover running and I LOVE it. I may be the runt of my litter but that just means I work extra hard to stand out as the goodest girl. I am progressing with house training and my foster mom says I get an A+ in crate training. With lots of attention I could be in a home as an only dog but would also thrive with another dog to play with.I’m in a foster home! If you’re interested in meeting me please fill out an application on our website at www.souldog.org and email adopt@souldog.org with any questions!

Story
Hi there! My name is Lightning Zap, I’m a Cattle Dog/Lab mix (although most people say I’m 100% cuddle bug). And not to brag, but I’m also quite a handsome lil guy, too. As you might have noticed, one of my ears has a mind of its own, flopping sideways in the most adorable way, and I have a black and brown brindle coat that is the softest ever!Even though I’m still a young pup, I’m quite calm, content and laid-back. But don’t be fooled - if you bring out the toys, you’ll see me come to life! And treats? YES PLEASE! I’m treat motivated, and always ready to show off how much I’m learning (potty training is coming along well, by the way!).I love playing with dogs of all sizes, even the big ones, and I absolutely adore kids. I’m also a big fan of naps – so after a good play session, I’m all about snuggling up for a snooze.Oh, and I’ve been told I have a goofy side that’ll make you smile. I’m growing fast, so I’m still a little clumsy at times, but that just adds to my charm, right? Oh, and I just discovered snow, and I can’t get enough of it!So, if you’re looking for a cuddly and playful goofball to fill your life with love and laughter, I think we’d be a perfect match. Let’s play and snuggle together forever!Lightning Zap is super friendly and loves being around people. His soft, cuddly coat is perfect for snuggles, and his calm demeanor makes him the ideal companion for anyone looking for a relaxed yet playful puppy. If you’re ready to welcome a sweet, affectionate, and easygoing little guy into your home, Lightning Zap is waiting to bring his warmth and charm into your life! Next step is to apply to adopt on our website www.souldog.org and someone will be in touch with you for next steps! Once you have an approved application you can meet this lovable fluffball today!

Story
Domino is a very sweet, 50 pound energetic herding breed mutt that is about 6 years old. She loves people - adults and children, and she LOVES to run. One of her favorite things in the world is just cuddling up next to her favorite humans (which is anyone!), receiving love. She is great with basic training skills like sit, fetch, stay, leave it, and is good with recall. Domino also LOVES her crate - it is her safe space, and she does very well sleeping in it at night, or if she needs a break. She has never had any major issues with her health, aside from some issues with her teeth and minor bumps and bruises from romping around. While she is absolutely fantastic with people, she can be touch and go with other dogs. She was brought up extremely socialized with other dogs, but as she has gotten older, her behavior around other dogs has become less predictable. We have had issues between her and our other pets, and we feel like she may flourish to live her best life with another family.
