ASH
Ash is full of energy and needs someone who can give full attention.
Fully vaccinated and up to date. Neutered
Our family is unable to provide the attention Ash needs due to small yard area and a busy toddler. We are looking for someone who can be his forever home.
Ash is potty trained, kennel trained and knows how to use a dog door. Ash does good at dog parks and so far has had no issue around other dogs. He loves to cuddles and play with toys. Ash does ok on walks but could use more help on a leash. Ash is working on not jumping up.

BLAIR
Blair is a 6 year old cocker spaniel mix who has been with the same owner her whole life. Her elderly owner is unfortunitly not able to care for her any more. She is a super sweet cuddle bug. Please reach out to Kim Sarmir (303) 506-3972 if interested.
Casey is a 90lb border collie mix. We believe he has some kind of livestock guardian dog in him, maybe a Great Pyrenees because of his size and his guarding instincts. He has had a lot of training (especially early on), is a great walker on leash, house broken and crate trained, and loyal/affection to his family. He does, however, have a strong guardian instinct and tends to be on edge with strangers, especially men and especially when his 'space' is intruded upon. Until provoked recently by our son, he has never bit anyone. This unfortunate event is the cause for our needing to find him a new home. We hope that in the right environment with new owners who can continue to give attention to his training he will do very well. Ideally, Casey would have some room to roam, at least a large backyard and probably without other dogs. He would do better with older kids (or no kids) who can understand how to respect his space. Please reach out to Christopher if you are interested 405-315-3529
Murphy is a good, loving, loyal 5 year old boy who is in need of a loving and calmer home. He loves to cuddle on the couch, play catch with a squeaky ball, go on walks, and play off-leash at the dog park. He is a wonderful dog that will be a great addition to a home with older or no kids. Murphy has a lot of energy and forgets his size at times (92 pounds). He loves going on walks, playing catch with his squeaky ball, and going to the dog park. Murphy also loves a calm, quiet night at home where he can cuddle on the couch with you. He loves gentle pets and getting his coat brushed while he lays outside in the sun.
Murphy doesn't love car rides, unless you have a sunroof. He lives his best life when he is able to put his head through the sunroof. While he doesn't give constant kisses, you know how happy he is and how much he loves you when he does give you a sweet little kiss. Murphy may take some time to warm up to everyone in the family. Patience is required to give him the space and time he needs to adjust, but once he does warm up, there will not be a dog that loves you more than him. A typical day for Murphy is waking up next to his favorite people, some leisurely outside time, breakfast, and a quick game of catch. He loves a game of catch the most when it's a squeaky ball or a snowball.
Murphy is able to be home alone if you work (100% potty trained) but will want attention when you come home. Any day Murphy can go on a walk, go to the dog park, or play outside, then it's a great day for Murphy. Murphy doesn't do great in the heat like any dog but is obsessed with the snow. Ironically, Murphy hates the rain and will avoid going outside in it at all costs.
Murphy would thrive in a home that does not have young children and is not stressful. While Murphy is a very loving dog, he is easily stressed out. Even play fighting, water balloon fights, etc. stress Murphy out since he is worried his family is being hurt and he doesn't know who or how to help. Murphy is great with older children that understand how to respect his space, use gentle hands while petting him, and can understand Murphy's size. Murphy does get overzealous at times while playing and forgets where your hands are. He is not being territorial or aggressive, but his new family needs to understand that when playing tug of war with him, he may not be aware where your fingers are.
Murphy successfully lives with two dogs (one large and one small) without any issues. I would recommend a slow introduction, just to be on the safe side. Murphy has completed professional training. He is 100% potty trained, knows his basic commands like sit, stay, down (his least favorite), come, and place. At times, Murphy does forget his commands if he is too excited or stressed. Murphy does know call and response but does not always adhere to it as well as he should. Murphy walks well on a leash if he is by himself, but if another dog is along, he will pull on the leash to be up front with the other dog. Murphy is not the alpha dog and wants to please his family but also wants to be in the front while walking. Murphy does struggle behaviorally when he is stressed out. Murphy has never bitten anyone, but has snipped on multiple occasions when people are yelling, doing loud activities like hammering a nail into the wall, etc. He has a strong sense to protect his family, and this leads him to snipping at people he deems a threat.
Murphy is also easily stressed out by young children who don't understand boundaries. It is imperative that his new home does not have young children.Overall, Murphy is the perfect partner in crime as long as the environment is right and deserves a forever home that will love him.

Domino is a very sweet, 50 pound energetic herding breed mutt that is about 6 years old. She loves people - adults and children, and she LOVES to run. One of her favorite things in the world is just cuddling up next to her favorite humans (which is anyone!), receiving love. She's great with basic training skills like sit, fetch, stay, leave it, and is very good with recall. She's never had any major issues with her health, aside from some issues with her teeth and minor bumps and bruises from romping around. We've been able to manage her teeth with greenies, teeth cleaning, and a solution which you can put into her drinking water.
While she is absolutely fantastic with people, she can be touch and go with other dogs. She was brought up extremely socialized with other dogs, but as she's gotten older, her behaviour around other dogs has become less and less predictable. Unfortunately, we've had issues between her and our other fur babies, and we simply feel like she may flourish to live her best life if she is in a single dog home. Please reach out to chelsea.park87@gmail.com if interested in learning more about Domino.
Hi! My name is Tony. I'm an 8-year old Maltese. I'm being fostered after my original owner passed away. I'm an active, happy little guy who loves toys and treats (especially turkey twists), and will follow you around the house to make sure you're okay.
My foster family has helped me with some medical issues that they suspect was due to neglect from my original owner--I needed a dental extraction due to my previous bad diet, and my back legs are a bit wonky. The vet says this is related to a spinal issue that may have been due to a fall or some past trauma. It means I'm unable to jump up on furniture, and the vet advised me to avoid stairs or long walks to avoid hurting my back (works for me--I love being held like a baby!). My foster family has been working on house-training me. It's been a slow process, so I've been wearing male wraps in the meantime. I'll do best with an owner who's able to keep an eye on my medical issues and make sure I get regular check-ups.
I can be reactive and barky around other animals, so I'd be best suited in a home where it's just me and my human. I also get cranky sometimes when I'm approached, particularly if I'm chewing on a toy/treat or if I'm at rest. It tends to happen more at nighttime--something makes me scared and aggressive, though I usually calm down after a few moments. At nighttime, it's best to let me come to you rather than approaching me. I have a lot of love to give though, and as long as my human is near me and I have a bed, some fresh water, and treats lying around, I'm the happiest guy in the world.

Hi! My name is Bean. I'm a 3-year-old German shepherd/Laborador mix. I'm being fostered because I got into a fight with my best friend, another girl dog. No one was seriously hurt, but my owner said she couldn't take the risk of us fighting again and hurting each other. I'm was really sad about it and so was everyone in my owner's family.
I'm an active, happy girl who loves toys and will play ball for hours. I will follow you around the house to make sure you're okay and sleep at the foot of your bed on my own dog bed. My foster mom calls me a "velcro" dog!
Even though I was born with two minor birth defects, a hump in my spine and a half-length tail, I have no issues with mobility and running around at top speed! I have even run UP a slide at a kid's playground and I am a whiz at catching balls—my previous owners were astonished at my agility and skill! I have been well taken care of my entire life: I have been spayed, vaccinated, given wellness visits and, and microchipped. My previous owners loved me very much and even made me homemade organic dog food!
I can be reactive and barky around other humans if I don't know them (I settle down pretty quickly) and I MUST have a home with no other female dogs! I love all people, though it takes me a minute to warm up. I have had a lot of fun playing with other dogs.

This is Koda - he is a heeler mix. Will be 6 this summer. He went through puppy school when we got him - about 4 months old. He can sit, stay, shake hands, leave it, say goodbye, heal, drop it . He loves to play . Grew up with older kids( 9-20 years old ) . He is not getting along anymore with our older dog at times- eating time, when she walks by his bed and he is sleepy- so we are deciding to rehome him. He is a bit of an anxious dog and barks at all other dogs. He needs to be the only dog at a home. He is very territorial about his food and needs to eat by himself. He is crate trained and likes to lay in it on his own. He needs someone who will play and teach him daily- he has a lot or energy. He does like to nap and can be calm too. He is up to date on all shots and healthy. Please give him a home!

Looking for a New Home for Cosmo
It breaks our hearts, but we are looking to rehome our 40 lbs 9-month-old Australian Cattle Dog mix, Cosmo. He is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and in great health. He is friendly, affectionate, treat-motivated, and incredibly smart. Cosmo loves to play fetch, go on daily walks, solve food puzzles, and then settle down for cuddles. He is fully potty trained, has excellent house manners, and uses a kennel comfortably when needed. He currently has access to a dog door and does well being left out during the day.
Cosmo lives with two young children and has done great with them—he’s gentle, patient, and loves being part of the family. He’s not being rehomed due to any behavioral issues of his own. After being neutered and getting older, he and our other dog began having serious fights. Despite working with animal behaviorists, the situation has escalated, and we’ve been advised that it’s safest to rehome one of them.
Cosmo did sustain some minor injuries in the most recent fight (around his eye), but he is healing well with care and medication. It’s important to note that he has done well with other dogs during supervised puppy playdates, so he may do well with another dog in the home. However, we recommend slow introductions and a thoughtful transition, as his confidence may have been affected by the tension at home.
Things to Know:
Cosmo is leash reactive to other dogs and bikes, but we’ve been actively working on it with training and are already seeing progress. His new home should be committed to continuing this.
He knows basic cues like sit, down, and leave it, and picks up on new things quickly.
He’s cuddly, loyal, and thrives with structure, exercise, and affection.
Cosmo deserves a loving home where he can be the center of attention and feel completely secure. He’ll be a loyal, joyful companion for the right person or family.
If you or someone you know is interested in giving Cosmo the home he deserves, please reach out to Sarah at 970-302-8349 or sarahbeth234@yahoo.com. We’re committed to making sure he finds the right fit.

It breaks my heart to share this, but we’re looking to rehome our sweet dog, Cali.
We have a baby on the way this fall, we’ve come to realize that Cali needs a home without small children where she can truly thrive. Her anxiety is triggered by eye-level children and some other dogs. She'd be best as the only pet.
Cali is a 6-year-old shepherd mix who is incredibly sweet, loving, and well-behaved in a calm, predictable environment. We’ve had her 5 years, she’s crate and potty trained, and great in the home knowing many commands, tricks and goes on walks around the neighborhood.
This decision has been incredibly hard, and we’re reaching out to our community in hopes of finding her that unicorn next home. More details on her are in this link: https://home-home.org/pets/3e2a0db0-6a9c-427d-b1de-0e31e016c3ca and https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/45159949-parker-colorado-shepherd-unknown-type-mix.
