Scully
Denver, CO

Scully is a well-mannered boy who obviously has been a pet before. Scully is a great size at 40 pounds and about 2 years old. He loves all the new people he has met. He recognizes the smaller alpha-female who owns our homes, and even regards our cat with interest, but not with hostility. Scully is highly adapted to a crate, and spends the nights quietly until we are ready for breakfast in the morning. He doesn't fuss no matter the situation we keep him in. Though we have constrained him to the easily cleaned surfaces of the home, we believe he is house broken. Out on a walk, he behaves well, seems secure with us, and is not an obsessive urine marker. In the security of a fenced back yard, he does not engage with the wacko dogs on the other side of the fence, but it is his mission to give every squirrel its daily exercise. In the fenced yard, he willingly comes when called. 

Riley (aka Davis)
Denver, CO 

---

Davis, aka Riley is a sweet, active 4 year old Border Collie mix who is smart as a whip.  After just a couple pets he is a loyal and fun loving guy who is good with children as well. He may be a bit overwhelming to little ones though. . He loves his people so much he likes to jump and give big hugs but he's learned to calm that down a bit. He loves to play with other dogs and run around the backyard. He's easily figured out the dog door, crate trained and fully house trained. Riley will be a fun and loyal part of any family,. He is a sturdy boy about 50 pounds and will be a great hiking and jogging partner. Given his prey drive we are not recommending cats. Riley is neutered, fully vetted and waiting for his new crew!

Ruby is spayed, chipped and up to date on her vaccines. Please let us know if you think Ruby would be a great addition to your family!

Julie
Aurora, CO

Julie is a beautiful petite 2.5 year old German shepherd who weighs 40 pounds. She's potty trained and goes into her crate on command and sleeps in there at night. She has very nice manners inside the home. Walks well on a leash, and does well with children and cats. Loves to play with small dogs and is ok with respectful big dogs. She naturally prefers women to men, but can be wooed and won by kind patient men. Loud noises scare her which is not un-common for dogs. Rides in the car fine. She loves to play outside and rolls and flips in the yard. She also likes to grass surf and will run and bounce at you which is funny to watch. She will even play outside by herself with her ball and rope toy but is glad when you are near-by. Sometimes she will start to dig outside but stops immediately when told to do so. Doesn't bark much, only when the doorbell rings or briefly when someone new enters the home. The best home for Julie is a stable calm home where her humans are home a lot.

Better days for Dart. Dart came up to Montana from Texas along with several other Australian Kelpies. Their previous owner passed away.

Tootsie
Waiting in Texas to come to Colorado

​Tootsie is a very sweet, well mannered 3 year old Australian Cattle dog mix looking for a loving home with another happy, playful dog her size.

A home with a stable, consistent routine, where her human is home most of the time would be a perfect match.    

She is a shy girl who will need some time and patience as she adjusts to her new home. 
You will be rewarded with so much love, loyalty and affection as you bond with Tootsie. 
She likes coming over to her person, laying her head on their lap or putting her paw on their leg, asking for affection. 
Housetrained and crate trained.
Dog friendly girl who gets along with other dogs of all sizes and will gently correct any dog that is 'rude' to her or invades her boundaries. 
Loves to play with the dogs in her foster home, especially her foster brother who is an Aussie and the same size.
She is a quiet pup who doesn't bark and is not destructive inside.
A medium energy girl who walks well on leash and enjoys her daily walks. 
Cats are not recommended because she has a prey drive. 
An adult only home is best, due to the loud, unpredictable behavior of children which could make her uncomfortable. 
She has a very soft, full, beautiful coat.
If you have a loving, calm home and are looking for another companion for you and your dog, get your application in for this amazing girl.
Tootsie is 55 lbs. spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and current on heartworm prevention
