Cricket
Denver, CO
Meet Cricket the sweetest Aussie ever. She loves to be with her person and cuddle. Cricket is 6 years old and 45 pounds. She was shaved before coming to us from Arkansas but her beautiful red coat is starting to come back in. Cricket is housetrained, good with all people, kids, other dogs, cats and livestock. She came from a farm and sadly her elderly owners were unable to care for her. She is a sturdy girl with moderate energy who will make a great companion. Cricket was clearly loved and we can't imagine how hard it was for her owners to give her up. She does whine and is anxious when left alone but is not destructive in any way and calms down after a bit. Let us know if you want to welcome Cricket home.
Blue
Waiting in Texas to come to West

Blue is the classic blue heeler. He is a very intelligent, happy and loyal boy. We believe Blue is about four years old. His life has been pretty rough to this point. He is missing some teeth and does have an old wound where his back leg healed crooked after a break. It does not seem to slow him down much though. The doctor says he will be just fine. Blue is great on a leash and happy to go into a crate whenever needed. He is not much of a barker or a whiner and seems pretty content just laying at your feet. He is a medium size & energy boy and I would recommend a medium activity life for him because of his injured leg. This boy still has a lot of life and love to give to the right person. Currently in a foster home in TX & hoping to move north soon.

Xena is a loving 5 year old Border Collie Australian Cattle dog mix looking for a home where her people will spend most of the time with her.
She loves to be outside, enjoying the fresh air, patrolling for squirrels and just being with her people adventuring.
Moderately active girl who likes to play, but can be calm when needed.
Would be a good hiking partner to take exploring on the trails.
Dog friendly, with proper introductions and would be happy to find a home with a dog playmate.
Housetrained.
Great house manners - will not beg for food. She will sit away, waiting to be asked if she wants a treat.
Xena is not a fan of the crate or being locked up and left alone.
Not destructive inside or outside, unless she is locked up.
Lays down when she eats!
Knows basic commands 'sit, bedtime and comes when her name is called'.
Walks well on leash. Off leash, she can be recalled, if squirrels are not around.
Rides ok in car, but needs a seatbelt so she doesn't roam around the car.
Not a big barker, but will let you know if someone is at the door.
Sleeps through the night at the end of her foster's bed.
Her favorite thing is being with her person/people and being outside.
Does not like to be left alone for long without a doggie friend.
She's not a fan of cats, so will not be adopted to a home with a cat.
Child friendly. Respectful children over 7 recommended.
Xena is 45 lbs. spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, heartworm negative and current on prevention

Dixon
Waiting in Texas to come to Colorado

This special boy is looking for human companionship to enjoy life together. Can you offer a loving forever home to this amazing pup?
Dixon is a 2-3 year old Australian cattle dog mix who is very loving and loyal.
Would love a home with a single person or couple who work from home or early retired.
Dixon needs and deserves a human who will love him unconditionally, take care of him and include him in their lives.
He bonds strongly to his people and will follow you around like a shadow all day long.
Easy going guy who would love to cuddle up with you on the couch or lay happily at your feet while you work.
It takes some time for him to warm up and trust that new people won't hurt him, but once he does, he will put his head in your lap or gently place his paw on your leg asking for affection.
Not a needy boy, just wants to know you’re around and he hasn’t been ‘lost’.
Intelligent, medium energy guy who enjoys doggie puzzles, playing fetch and being with his people.
Knows basic commands ‘sit, stay, come, wait, bed, paw’.
VERY treat motivated: loves animal cookies, cheerios, applesauce, steamed veggies and all fruits.
Housetrained, crate trained and not destructive inside or outside.
Enjoys daily walks and walks well on leash, but he has some fear reactivity when he sees an unknown dog. Doing better with training.
Rides perfectly in the car.
Sleeps through the night in his own bed.
He would be happiest as the only dog in your life or with an older, calmer dog.
No cats or small animals, because he does have a prey drive.
Apartments will not be considered, he needs his own fenced yard. He promises to keep it safe from any unwanted squirrels.
A calmer home where his person is home the majority of the time would be ideal.
Children are not a good fit for him due to their loud, unpredictable behavior which makes him uncomfortable.
Dixon has a liver shunt, which is a condition where his liver does not filter properly. He is doing great being medically managed with food, and antibiotics. Liver shunt dogs can live long normal lives with proper care. His food and medicine is easily shipped to your home through Chewy.com.
He thrives in a consistent routine oriented environment and will bring so much love and joy to your life.
Dixon is 55 lbs. neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm negative and on prevention.
Fostered in Texas and available to surrounding areas that are drivable.

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.

Julie

Julie is a beautiful petite 2 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
Will do best in a home without children or cats
Loves to play with small dogs (not a fan of 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.
She's not the most fond of riding in the car but eventually will lay on the floor board. More positive experiences going to get ice cream for example will help her improve.
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. Julie is a small packaged shepherd who so loves her people, and any small doggies in the home, and will entertain you while she entertains herself. Fully vetted microchipped and heartworm negative.

ARES
Adoption pending
Evergreen CO
Stunning Ares is a 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, he is neutered and up to date on his vaccines. Ares seems to get along with all the dogs at his foster home and likes to be near the people. At 34 pounds, Ares likes to go for walks and is great on a leash. He would make an outstanding hiking, running or walking partner. The barn cats didn't even get a second look from him, so dog savvy cats would probably be ok. Ares seems to be a little short on life experiences but is working on his confidence and is interested in all that is going on at his foster home. He seems to have a moderate energy level, nothing over the top.

Sandi is a sweetheart.
She is an 8 year old mini Aussie. We adopted her from a breeder when she was a puppy.
We are needing to rehome her because she doesn’t get along with our new dog that we adopted last summer. We’ve spent a year trying and have come to the conclusion that it would be best for Sandi to live her remaining years with a calmer home. It is an extremely hard decision but Sandi deserves a home where she is the center of attention.
Ideally, I think a home with adults or older teens is best because unexpected loud movements( think puppy) startles her. She does great with other dogs when she boards though.
She is crate trained and house trained. She knows basic commands such as sit, leave it, watch me, stay.
Overall, she’d make a great, loyal companion. Please send inquiries directly to laurapittman@gmail.com
