Available dogs
BENTLEY
Bentley is a 2 1/2 yr old neutered Aussie/Golden mix that grew up in rural Pennsylvania where he had lots of room to run and play and expend all of his energy. His family moved to Denver and he now lives in an apartment, sadly this guy is just not cut out for apartment living and his family has decided the only right thing to do is find Bentley a more suitable home. Since moving into an apartment Bentley has gained some weight and started some inappropriate behaviors, namely barking and some fear aggression towards other dogs. Bentley will probably never be a "dog park" dog, it just worries him when other dogs come up to him, he really just wants them to go away. Bentley really loves to play frisbee, but never gets the opportunity anymore because he has no yard and leash laws in Denver mean he can't be off leash. More exercise, lots more exercise and ongoing training will surely help him better deal with these issues. Bentley would probably do best as an only dog He has been through obedience training, is a great hiking, running or walking partner and is good with kids. He is just not meant to be a city dog. Bentley needs a home that can exercise both his mind and body on very regular basis. Bentley is in Denver

We have been waiting for and Candy and she is finally in Denver. This is what her foster mom had to say " I am stunned at what a good dog this is. She is friendly, welcomed guests to our house and is great with my dogs. She slept quietly on the floor next to our bed all night. She is housebroken and loves her toys but hasn't touched a thing in our house. She is perfect and will make a great addition to an active family". Candy is fostered in the DU area in Denver
TUCKER
Hard to believe but this is Tucker's story. Tucker was found in Saratoga WY chained to a fence with a sign
saying "FREE DOG". The sign had his name on it, said he was housebroken, good with other dogs, and well trained. He is a very good boy between 3 and 5 years old, not yet neutered. He does get along with other dogs, seems like he probably is housebroken, does know some commands, and walks well on leash. He is getting him fixed and vaccinated next week. Tucker will be fostered in Cheyenne WY

ADDI
ADDI
Addi is a 5 year old, female pure bred Australian Shepherd that was purchased from a breeder in Southern Colorado. Due to changes in her owner's living situation, she is available for adoption at this time. Once papers are received from the breeder she will be registered with the Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA).
Addi is a sweet, social dog that gets along well with other dogs and children. While she “protects” her home by barking, she is not the least bit aggressive. She was raised on a farm with room to roam, loves walks, chasing rabbits and retrieving balls. She is housebroken and follows simple commands. Like most Aussies, Addi has lots of energy and needs a “job.” While she has not had the opportunity to really test her herding instincts, she is very smart and would do well with a new owner interested in working with her on some agility training. Addi was raised with two other dogs, and enjoys their company, but definitely needs some space and would probably not do well in a subdivision with only a small back yard.
Addi is spayed and current on all her vaccinations. She does have acid reflux, or “ heartburn” that is easily controlled with a low cost over-the-counter acid reducer that she takes daily. Changing Addi's diet and avoiding giving fats and protien rich foods may also help her. For canine acid reflux, the most beneficial diet will be low in fat and low in protien, according to PetMD.com with food intake spread over smaller, more frequent meals, but check with your vet first. Otherwise she is a happy, healthy dog.

BANDIT
Hello My name is Bandit and I'm a cattle dog miv. They named me that because of the markings on my face, but I am not really a Bandit! You can trust me as far as you can see me. I am very loyal and love living my foster family very much. You see, I lived in a shelter for a year waiting for someone to take me home. People came in looking for a companion and just passed me by. Do you think it was my funny ears? They are bionic according to my foster mom. Finally a nice lady rescued me from the shelter and the folks at Western Australian Shepherd Rescue took me in. They saw my wonderful smile and good manners. I am 6 years old, but don't let that deter you. I am the perfect age!! I'm done with the chewing and digging and full of spunk for playing, walking and hiking. you can see by my smile I'm ready for some laid back time whenever you are. I love all the other dogs (ten of them) at my foster home. Children love to play with me as much as I love them. NO CATS Please consider giving me a home forever and ever.

I am 4 years old, spayed,microchipped and up to date on all my vaccinations. I get along with dogs as long as they are not dominant and once I establish some rules things go good.

MAX
Meet Max!
Max is about six years old. He came to a shelter as a stray and so not much about his past is known but he is being rehomed because of a toddler that is VERY allergic to him. He is a lover. Max is a very sweet dog, is amazing with kids (of all ages – baby to teen) and does very well with cats and other dogs. Max loves belly rubs, being brushed, and going for walks. However… he also loves food. All food. This might be why he is overweight. He loves getting baths and haircuts at the groomer! When he sees kids or other dogs walking down the street just wants to play. We are working on manners, he will “sit” and “stay” if he gets a treat. This is his way of saying hello, but he needs to work on it. Max would make a perfect addition to any household. Max would make a perfect addition to any active household. He is a protector, but non-aggressive, and loves to play. He may be getting older, but he has the spirit of a puppy. Max is a very happy dog and can’t wait to meet you! Max is in Ft Collins CO

STORMY
Stormy needs a new home. She is a 6 year old spayed female
Australian Shepherd Collie mix. She is in good health and her owner recently had her teeth cleaned and blood work completed. It takes Stormy awhile to get acquainted with new people and then she is fine. The best way to her heart is through her stomach. Give her a milk bone a few times and she is your friend. She loves to play and is a happy dog. Loves her stuffed toys. She has been around children and is fine. She has not been exposed to many other animals so we don't know how she would be with cats. She loves to go for walks and she is a great traveler. So you are wondering why does such a great dog need a new home? Because her owner is seriously ill and no longer able to care for her. Stormy will remain with her owner as long as she is able to and unti we can find Stormy a new home. Stormy is located in Louisville, Nebraska.

PEEWEE IS READY FOR A HOME
PEEWEE UPDATE!
Peewee is ready for a home! He is now 4 weeks in to recovery from his surgery and ready to go. We are now seeing Peewee want to run (doctor's orders, no running) and play which was not something he wanted to do prior to surgery. He is walking and only slightly favors his leg! Hurray! Thank you to all who donated and supported Peewee! He will be running before you know it. Now believe it or not we have discovered yet another fabulous ability this dog possesses. He can catch flies and other flying insects like nothing. We are very impressed. He would be a great dog to take to a picnic.
