Panda
Denver, CO
|
|
Panda is an 4-5 month old border collie mix who loves to play and get into a little mischief on the side (mostly stealing slippers...) She is currently living with two adult dogs at her foster home, and is wearing them out with lots of games of chase and wrestling. Panda has been exposed to cats, and is sometimes a little too curious about them, but has not been aggressive. She does well with meeting new people of all ages, and loves playing with children. She is starting to learn basic manners, such as overnight crate training and potty training. Panda will do well with an owner who has some experience training puppies to continue teaching her the fundamental behaviors, such as good leash walking, sit, stay, lay, etc. She is very sweet, loves to cuddle, and already knows her name. Panda is up-to-date on vaccinations for her age. She currently weighs around 20 pounds, and will likely be a smaller/average size dog.

Mick

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.

Zoey
Denver, CO

Zoey is a 1 year old, 57lb, Aussie mix who came to our rescue from a high kill shelter in New Mexico. She is a loving, happy girl who likes to snuggle and be close to her family. Zoey sleeps quietly in her crate, has great recall, and is good in the house. She loves playing with other dogs in a free setting but we have found she is reactive on leash when meeting new dogs. Zoey will thrive in a home where she is not expected to meet and greet new dogs on leash. Patience and training will be required to modify this behavior so she can overcome her anxiety. Zoey is a great young dog with lots of potential.
Ziggy
Denver, CO
Ziggy is a 9 month old, neutered, 30 pound Border Collie mix. He is a young, high energy, eager dog that is ready to learn. Ziggy is working on his social skills and doing well with crate training. He is friendly with people and dogs and takes treats very gently. We are practicing walking nicely on a leash. Ziggy will make an awesome hiking or running buddy, he definitely needs plenty of exercise for his mind and body, he will not be content to wait at home for an evening walk. We have learned he is afraid of being taken by the collar so he will need some reward training to overcome his fear.

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.

Stela
COURTESY LISTING
Denver, CO

Hi, my name is Stela and I'm a pretty, all black, almost two year old Kelpie/Shepherd mix who was surrendered to Front Range German Shepherd Rescue because the HOA said my mom had too many animals in her condo. I lived peacefully with dogs and even cats with whom I loved to play and snuggle. I am house trained and crate trained (this is my quiet space), and I've spent time at doggy daycare where I received very good "report cards". My former owner said my leash manners need work (barking and pulling) around other dogs and people, and her stress likely passed down the leash to me. I've not lived in a home with small children, so a home without them may be best. More info to come. My adoption fee is $350, and if you are interested, please go to adoptagsd.org.

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.
Please email rugby_chase@hotmail.com regarding Izzy.

Special Dogs with Special Needs
DASH
Cheyenne WY
Dash is a young Australian Cattle Dog about 2 years old at 30 pounds. We are looking for a very special foster or adopter who can help Dash socialize and learn good experiences with people. When handled he is submissive and shows no aggression.. Dash will need to stay in very close quarters with his human and learn trust. This young boy has tons of potential. He is neutered, fully vetted and house trained. If you can help us with Dash please let us know.
PEPPER
Cody WY
Special Home Needed! This is Pepper! She’s been an adoption fail due to her prey drive! She wants to catch cats and has no tolerance for other dogs. Sounds like a terrible profile, right? She loves humans! She will melt your heart! She needs an owner who can manage a dog who only wants to bond to their human and not get the silly notion she wants to be social with other dogs on leash or off. She’s three years old - spayed - current vacs. She came from a high kill shelter in Texas and was housed with four other big dogs which might explain her quick response to other dogs - perhaps PTSD but she is absolutely amazing with people of all ages and sizes. She is most likely German Shepherd and Belgian Sheepdog.
