Stella
Denver, CO

This puppy is darling!  A wonderful, smart, very affectionate puppy, who is eager to learn and play!  She has learned to sit, use the doggie door, sleep in her crate all night, and walk on the leash.  She is learning to come when called and down.  Loves her two walks a day and racing around the yard.
​
She is great in the car, and enjoys riding.  She will probably not do well with cats as she likes to chase squirrels and rabbits, and because of her herding tendencies, probably not be best with small children.  She loves people and plays nicely with dogs.  She will make a wonderful family member!

Blue
Denver, CO

Handsome Blue came to us after his owners were evicted from their home in Arkansas. Blue is a 2 year old Aussie about 45 pounds. His world has been very small up until now. He had never been out of the yard, ridden in a car, or had a collar and leash on. In a very short time he has blossomed and is learning by leaps and bounds. Very sweet temperament and willing to learn Blue is happy, healthy and housetrained. He loves playing with the other dogs at his foster home. So many things are still new to him so he will take time and patience. This active boy has lots of potential as both a companion and outdoor enthusiast. No apartment homes will be considered.

Mia
​Boulder, CO
Mia is a two year old Rottweiler German Shepherd mix. We are only taking a guess. She is a sweet girl who is so ready to live the good life. Mia weighs 80lbs & is working on losing weight. She would be a great walking companion. She comes from the streets in Texas & we are so happy we are able to make a positive difference in her life. Mia has been treated for heartworm & now has a clean bill of health. She has an old injury to a hind leg that has healed. It’s too late for repair but she uses the leg just fine. In old age she may need medication for arthritis.

Mia gets along well with people. She’s very sweet. She gets along with other dogs. How she is with cats is unknown. Mia is also house trained. She is being fostered in Boulder, CO & we will update with new information as we get to know Mia better.

Shai
​Denver, CO

Looking for a very special home for a super smart dog. Shai (pronounced Shy) is a 4 year old neutered male Husky. He weighs around 75lbs. Shai is house trained. He knows several commands & tricks & is a super smart guy. He loves to play. As is typical for his breed, he has a surplus of energy. He would love a home where he could be someone’s hiking buddy. He seems exceptionally smart & may do well in agility also. Shai also loves to ride in the car. Shai gets along well with other dogs, however he can come on pretty strong in wanting to play & can be too much for some dogs. Shai is good with all types of people but because of his size & rough play would do best in a home with no small children. He can potentially live ok with cats but not cats that would run. It will trigger him to chase. Shai is in the Denver, CO area. Absolutely no apartment homes.

Annie
Adoption Pending
​​Denver, CO

Meet our newest senior Aussie girl we named Annie. She was found wandering a neighborhood in west Texas alone. No one came to the shelter for her. We are guessing her age at 8 years and 45 pounds. She has a calm sweet temperament  and is good with all people. She can be bossy with other dogs so would do best as an only dog. She also chases cats. She is fully vetted and heartworm negative. Annie is a gentle companion who is looking for a family to love her. 

Summer
Adoption Pending
​Denver, CO

Little Miss Summer is a 9-month-old Aussie / Border Collie / Heeler mix who came to us from Kansas.  Although young, this girl clearly has seen some rough stuff in her life, because she was just so excited to be around other dogs and in a home where she gets lots of love and pets.  She will be the perfect addition to a home with an owner that has a lot of activity going on for her to be a part of, but that is also patient to build some trust and rapport with her.  Her first few days with us, Summer would go to ground and adopt submissive posture, clearly a little scared and unsure.  However, now that she has had a chance to settle in, she has definitely come out of her shell and shown a very playful, loving and active personality.  Summer does great around other dogs, cats, and kiddos, and she loves to give snuggles and kisses.  She is learning her basic housebreaking manners with ease, and has picked up the trick of going in and out the dog door quickly.  She is also sleeping overnight in her crate.  Summer has just the right blend of shy and curious in her temperament that she will have you looking forward to adventuring with her next summer!

Shane
Adoption Pending
​Missoula, MT

Shane - DOB Feb. 2017 - Shane is a sweet big guy who loves to go for rides, play in water.  He has good leash manners and knows basic obedience.  He is house trained. He likes to learn and loves to please you.  Shane's past owner passed away leaving him a bit broken hearted but he is ready to love again.  He wants to go anywhere you go but will settle in his crate.  Shane has a unhealthy interest in small running things like chickens...actually he likes to chase.  We were told he will chase cars.  Shane is a large Aussie with a lot of presence and is super handsome.  When he goes for walks in town everyone comments on how handsome he is.  Shane is used to living on a ranch with acreage so we are hoping to find him an active home where he can continue to enjoy hiking or just being active with his owner.  Shane will be neutered on Sept. 9th and available for adoption soon after that.  He is currently near Missoula, Montana.
