Todd
Denver, CO

Todd is a 1 year old 45 pound border collie who came to us from Kansas where he suffered horrifying injuries to his hind quarters from either a dog or wildlife attack. The vet at the shelter saved him. After months of recovery he is ready to go home. Todd is sweet and does well with all people and dogs. He loves playing in the yard with his dog friends at his foster home. He is very athletic and high energy. What a great running and hiking buddy Todd also has the potential for any dog sport. He does require supervision in the house as he will get into things unattended. House trained and crate trained this boy is waiting for his forever home!
Pepper
Sheridan, WY

We think Pepper is a Jack Russell Terrier mix. She is about 18 months old & weighs 17lbs. Pepper is the mama to Hunter & Joey. She is looking for an active home. She is a busy girl who would be great for agility. She bounces everywhere! Pepper is house trained, good with other dogs and people. We don’t know about cats. Pepper is in a foster home in Sheridan, WY.

Joey
Sheridan, WY
|
|
|
Joey is about 14-16 weeks old. Pepper is his mama & we think his daddy may have been a Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog). He will be smaller, like his mama. Joey has short legs. He is sweet & playful. He is shy when meeting new people but when he warms up then you are truly a friend. Joey is active but not over the top. He will do best in a home that is active & will include him in the family activities. When we place puppies we always recommend they go through a puppy kindergarten class. Joey is in a foster home in Sheridan, WY.

Hunter
Sheridan, WY
|
Handsome Hunter is about 14-16 weeks old. Pepper is his mama & we think his daddy was a Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog). Pepper weighs 17lbs & we do think Hunter will be bigger than her but he won’t be a very big dog. Perfect size for hiking & being active & then coming in & snuggling on the couch. Hunter is really getting the hang of potty training & he already knows “sit” & comes to his name. We always recommend puppies go through puppy kindergarten for socializing. Hunter is already on his way to being a great companion. He is in a foster home in Sheridan, WY.

Echo and Tala
COURTESY LISTING
Pinewood Springs (near Lyons), CO

Meet Echo (nickname Sketch) and his pumpkin-color sister Tala! These gorgeous 11-year-old kindred spirit Aussie Shepherd litter mates are looking for a home together, and are currently in an amazing foster home in Pinewood Springs, CO, near Lyons.
They were raised by an older man who recently needed to go into nursing care. He lived on a farm with lots of acreage, so Echo/Sketch and Tala are used to wide open spaces. They gained a bit of weight throughout life, so their foster mom has them on a weight loss diet with glucosamine to help them stay flexible.
Their foster mom says that inside the house they like to sleep, and outside they like fetch tennis balls, go for leisurely walks, and lie in the sun.
They're spayed and neutered, and up to date on their shots. They’re great with other dogs, cats are unknown, but their foster mom had two chihuahuas at the house and they were fine. Not sure how they'd do with kids, so for now we're saying No Kids, please and thanks.
More info about these great dogs will appear here soon. These pups are courtesy post dogs and so please fill out a Summit Dog Rescue application (https://www.summitdogrescue.org/dog-application.html). A volunteer will get back to you as soon as they can.

We are looking to rehome our dog Izzy. She is a 6 year old blue heeler mix. She is a highly active dog with a lot of love to give. She is up to date on all shots. A perfect home would include a big back yard or land for her to run. Izzy is more of a one person dog and would do best on an only dog home. She bonds very tightly with her person & is very loyal. She is house trained & well behaved in the house.

Sweet Nicky came to us from a hoarding situation in Arkansas. He is a super boy. Very mellow and low key we believe he is an Aussie/Collie mix with his beautiful full tail 2 years old 45 pounds. He loves all people and is gentle with children. Good with other dogs he does not interact much with them preferring to be next to his people. Given his background he is very social with people but is worried about new situations since he had no exposure to living inside a home. He comes along nicely with coaxing through doorways, stairs. He is learning what treats are. If he is afraid he will go to the ground so leash walking is still pretty scary. Nicky is a wonderful quiet companion who will need a soft hand to bring his confidence up.

This sweet face belongs to Mick. Mick is 16-18 month old Border Collie. He currently lives on a ranch & they need a working dog. Mick has no interest in herding anything, not sheep, cattle or even chickens. In his current situation, he is housed in a kennel & he hates being away from his people. Mick is just not cut out for this type of life. Mick wants to be in the house & be a part of the family. He is good with other dogs. He knows some basic commands (come, sit, down, etc). Just because he doesn't want to herd doesn't mean he isn't active. We think he would love agility or other performance events or at least an active home. Mick is crate trained & may not be house trained. He loves toys & loves playing in the water.
Mick is about 40 lbs, is current on vaccinations & neutered.
