Chinook
Chinook is a 3 to 4 year old Siberian Husky that was transferred to rescue from
an overcrowded municipal shelter in the midwest. This sweetheart of a dog
arrived weighing a mere 33 pounds, with urine burns and incredibly poor muscle
mass. Combined with some superficial chipped teeth, behavior around food and
water, and pretty extreme separation anxiety at the beginning of her time with
us, our vet believes she was left alone in confined spaces for extended periods
of time without regular access to food and water. Her vet check up and blood
work indicate that she is otherwise healthy, with no long-term health concerns.
Chinook is slowly and steadily gaining weight, muscle tone, and energy; her
separation anxiety is also decreasing as time goes on and she becomes more
accustomed to her new normal. Some of her loves include: water, humans (even
small ones seem to be okay in her book), doggie daycare, car rides, tennis
balls, and treats. Chinook walks well on a leash, tolerates brushing like a
professional, and is incredibly affectionate and eager to please. To help with
her separation anxiety, she has been attending day care a few days a week and
she is a total crowd pleaser. She is energetic, and if placed in a home with
another dog, would need a matched energy level as well as a dog that isn't
territorial over their people, as Chinook really loves to be right next to her
humans. Chinook has many typical husky behaviors and would benefit from someone
experienced with the breed or a similar working breed. She is looking for a home
with plenty of patience, calm energy, and a commitment to continue working on
her separation anxiety with slow, safe transitions and reintroduction of a crate
as a safe place. Chinook has been spayed, is microchipped with registration,
fully vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, wormed, flea/tick treated, and is
on heartworm preventative. Her adoption fee is $300.

Delphi
Delphi is a two month old puppy that was saved as a days old newborn. This
little gal has grown up in foster care, and has been exposed to dogs, cats,
chickens and children, and does well with all of them. Delphi is spayed,
vaccinated, microchipped with registration, dewormed, and is parasite free. This
puppy has been well loved, well fed, and well socialized, and cannot wait to be
the star attraction in someone's home as their newest beloved pet. We believe
this litter is lab/great Pyrenees mix as they all are white and have multiple
rear dew claws. They are also huge puppies (much larger than labs and will
likely be bigger than the lab mix mommy who was 70lbs.) These puppies have had
an amazing start in life and we believe that life will just get better from
here. Delphi is $400 to adopt.

Farley
Farley is a 5 month old tri-color hound/shepherd mix who is doing very well in
his foster home. Farley is learning his Sit, Place, and Heel very well and is
cohabitating nicely with his foster mom's cat. Farley hasn't had any accidents
in the home and is doing well in his crate, though he will sing the song of his
people if he doesn't have a cozy bed to lie down on. Farley is looking for a
family with a chill vibe and a willingness to provide him with some calm
structure so he can continue to master his commands and grow into a truly
wonderfully behaved pup. Farley is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped with
registration, dewormed, flea and tick treated, and has been given a heart-worm
prevention. Farley likes other dogs, but sometimes has a bit of a bossy
personality. Any current household dog would either need to be much larger, or
submissive to his quirks. Farley would benefit greatly from continued training
and working with him to be a respectful puppy in all situations. Farley's
adoption fee is $400.

Foxy
Foxy is a 9 week old labrador retriever mix who is already weighing in at 22
pounds. Based on the weight and the suspicions from the shelter where she was

giant breed, such as a mastiff. Foxy is going to be great for a family looking
for a large bundle of love to play with, cuddle with, camp with, and adventure
with. Foxy has a big heart to share and is looking for the right people to give
all her love to. Foxy is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped with registration,
dewormed, flea and tick treated, and has been given a heart-worm prevention. She
loves people of all ages, other dogs, and would do fine with other animals with
proper introduction. Foxy's adoption fee is $400.

Ingrid
Ingrid is a two year old blonde Border Collie that was transferred to us from a
rural municipal shelter. She is a complete delight - housebroken, knows basic
commands, and is great on a leash. Unlike many Border Collies, Ingrid is also
mellow, loving, and cuddly. She hasn't yet met a stranger in human or canine
form, and we think she could be well-suited for nearly any home environment.
Ingrid is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped with registration, heartworm
tested negative, wormed, flea/tick treated, and on heartworm prevention. Her
adoption fee is $300.

really does love everyone, including kiddos, and couldn't be a happier lap-sized
pup. Ivy is housebroken and behaves herself well in the home, though she is
still getting comfortable with a crate (we think it's a new concept) and would
really prefer to be right next to her people at all times. She is spayed, fully
vaccinated, microchipped with registration, heartworm tested negative, wormed,
flea/tick treated, and on heartworm prevention. Ivy's adoption fee is $400.

Jasper
Jasper is a whole lot of charm wrapped up in the relatively small body of
Chihuahua mixed with something mysterious. At seven years old, Jasper is aged to
absolute perfection. He is well-socialized and friendly with people and dogs,
and doesn't seem to be overly bothered by cats - but if they run away from him,
he may give chase. In typical Chihuahua fashion, he can be a little stubborn and
single-person oriented. Jasper does love to eat, and should not be free fed or
be left alone with any other pets' food, as he will help himself. He does fine
in a crate, and is housebroken with regular trips and close monitoring. Jasper
is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped with registration, wormed, and has
been flea and tick treated. His adoption fee is $300.

Jem
Jem is a two year old Great Dane that was surrendered to a local municipal
shelter when her owners couldn't handle her size or energy level. It seems that
Jem wasn't particularly well-socialized as a pup, and lacks some general
obedience training and confidence, which makes her a little timid. With time and
structure, she is thriving outside of the shelter, but would do best in a home
with large breed experience and probably in a home with a fenced backyard. Jem
is affectionate, housebroken and non-destructive, but is very strong and still
working on her leash skills. She definitely needs regular exercise (she loves to
run and play) and continued training to make her the best dog she can be. Jem is
indifferent to her foster parents' resident cat, and has done fine with dogs she
has met while out and about, but would need appropriate introductions to other
dogs in her potential forever home. Her preference would be to be next to her
people at all times, and she doesn't really understand how big she is, making
her a love, but perhaps not best-suited for small children. Jem is spayed, fully
vaccinated, microchipped with registration, wormed, flea/tick treated, and has
been started on heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $300.

Jett
Jett is a three year old Newfoundland Mix that was surrendered to a local
municipal shelter when his owners couldn't keep him. This handsome guy is just
as energetic as he is friendly - which is very! Jett would benefit from
continued leash and general obedience training, but is very well-mannered in the
house and is housebroken. He does fine in a crate, and follows a strict bedtime
in foster to be sure he gets his beauty rest. Jett would love an active family,
and maybe one with a backyard for lots of romps and playtime. We think he would
be fine in a home with children, and is also fine with other dogs, but he does
have a lot of energy and doesn't fully understand his size, so could be a little
intimidating or overpowering for younger kiddos. Jett is neutered, fully
vaccinated, microchipped with registration, wormed, on heartworm preventative,
and has been flea and tick treated. His adoption fee is $300.

Junebug
Junebug is a seven year old wirehaired Dachshund mix. In her previous home, she
came to rely on her much more outgoing brother and we are loving getting to know
her as her own dog. Junebug has really started to come out of her shell in
foster, and is doing well with the resident dog and cats (she's interested, but
not harmful). She enjoys being close to people, seeks out affection, is
housebroken, and walks well on a leash. Junebug would appreciate being in a home
with another dog. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped with
registration, wormed, flea/tick treated, and has been started on heartworm
preventative. Junebug's adoption fee is $300.

Dakota
Dakota is a 4.5 month old lab/mastiff mix that was rescued from out of state
where she had been found by a good samaritan and hand raised in foster care
until she was big enough to catch transport and make it here to Denver. Dakota
is spayed, vaccinated for age, flea and tick treated, dewormed, microchipped
with registration, and is on heartworm preventative. Dakota is working on
general obedience, house and crate training, and loving life as a pet in a home
with a foster family while she waits for the perfect home to spot her. She is
great with other animals and people of all ages. Dakota is $400 to adopt, and
based on head and paw size, will be on the larger end of the sale as an adult.

is really good with potty training and always goes outside.) Farrah is a very
affectionate and mellow dog. She sleeps all night in her spot, doesn't chew on
things other than her toys and does not bark unless she is saying hello. Farrah
loves other dogs, does well with cats, and would be an amazing companion for a
