OKLAHOMA HOARDING CASE

We recently helped 8 dogs from a terrible HOARDING situation in Oklahoma.  These poor babies were abandoned with no food or water and left to fend for themselves.  Sadly, some were already deceased by the time we were informed of their situation. Those fortunate enough to survive are now here with us in Colorado where they are working on socialization and getting much needed vetting!   These babies are looking forward to loving forever homes and significantly brighter future! Here are some pictures of where they came from.  With your help, we’ll keep giving them every ounce of support we can manage and continue to help others in need!  Please consider donating!

Dogs of the week!

Dillon, 5 years, Male, Great Dane/Pitbull, Dog & kid friendly, NO CATS, $350, CO Springs
Meet Dillon! This poor soul was a stray in Texas for two whole years and finally caught by another rescue because he had a terrible infection in his jaw. While we were able to treat his infection, it took much longer to coax him out of his shell. He loves dogs and is very dog friendly, but is no NOT cat friendly. He is house trained and crate trained! We feel his ideal home will be a quiet one. Dillon needs a patient family, while he learns to be a house dog and also learns how to show affection. He’s a sweet boy who will sit next to you and let you rub his belly all day! Dillon is located in Colorado Springs.
Stitch, 2 years, Male, Husky X, $350, Windsor
Stitch is a Husky through and through! He is 4 years old, independent, and he enjoys hanging out in the sun. Stitch's playful side comes out when there is a tennis ball around, he loves playing keep away and chasing the ball around! Stitch is looking for a home with a fenced yard and one without other dogs and kids. He is currently located in Windsor and his adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Hulk, 4 years, Male, Great Dane, $500, Arvada
Hubba hubba!!! 😍 This amazingly handsome boy is named Hulk! We’ve learned that he’s best with a no-kiddo household as the kids make him a bit nervous. We’re looking for an experienced Dane owner who wants a 150 lb shadow. Once he’s comfortable with you, all he wants to do is play and snuggle; he is an incredibly affectionate boy. He's approximately 4 years old but has all the energy of a gigantic puppy. Hulk is also heart worm positive, so the most important thing for any family interested in him is going to be safely getting him through that treatment which is covered by Big Bones. While he is dog friendly (and a very playful 150 lbs), his new home will need to be capable of keeping him calm during treatment which lasts several weeks. Typical for his breed, he is a very heavy leaner! He isn’t sure yet if he is comfortable with cats running around but he did well with meeting them while they were crated. His ideal adopter will be comfortable being the alpha of the pack and comfortable with a bit of a ‘space-invader’! He will need some help working through some separation anxiety so an adopter home often will be a must. He’s soaking up as much love and pack-time as possible. This big boy will also need a home with a 6' fence! He loves the couch, loves pillows, and LOVES waking his foster dad up in the morning! Hulk is located in Arvada and his adoption fee is 500 dollars.
Blake, 1 year, Male, Chihuahua X, Good w/Dogs, $400, Greeley
Hi! I'm Blake, a 1ish year old Chihuahua mix and I'm looking for a super special human that will understand how scared I am of people and have patience with me while I learn to trust. I came from a situation where I didn't get to see many people but when I did, my experiences weren't very positive. I love my crate, I am happy to potty in the right places, and I like other dogs, but I don't know what it's like to be a dog who is loved by humans. I will let my foster mom pick me up, but I don't understand why she wants to. Nobody ever picked me up before she did. Can you teach me about the good life and how wonderful humans can be? I’m currently in Greeley and my adoption fee is 400 dollars.
Delilah, 1-2 years, Female, Shepherd X, Good w/Kids & Dogs, $350, Ft Collins
Delilah is a 1-2 year old Shepherd mix who is ready for her own forever after! She’s a sweet girl who’s done being a baby mama and is looking for a loving home where she will be doted on! Delilah is located in Fort Collins and her adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Red, 1 year, Male, Redbone Coonhound X, Good w/Dogs & Kids, $350, Windsor
Meet Sawyer! He is a 1 year old Redbone Coonhound mix with a beautiful soft red & tan coat and legs for days. Sawyer has spent most of his short life in a shelter and he is SO ready for a family and a home to call his own. He is a quick learner and responds well to encouragement when experiencing new things. Sawyer is dog and kid friendly, and he enjoys sniffing and smelling all the things, so he would love a backyard with a secure fence. If you are the active family Sawyer is looking for, you can meet him in Windsor! His adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Russet, 4 years, Male, Chihuahua X, Good w/Dogs. $350, Greeley
Russet and Yukon were also among those saved from the hoarding situation in Oklahoma and we’re so happy that we were able to bring these babies to Colorado to find a better life! Russet is an absolute sweetheart! He was the first to warm up to his foster and has loved getting attention ever since. He does a little dance when he gets excited! He’s very quiet and loves to play with other dogs. He’s about 4 years old. Each has an adoption fee of 350 dollars and are located in Greeley.
Ore Ida, 6-8 yrs, Female, Chihuahua X, Good w/Dogs, $350 Greeley
Ore-Ida is a sweet, quiet girl who does have all 4 legs, we swear. 😂 A 6-8 year old Chihuahua mix (12lbs), she gets along well with other dogs and seems to be potty trained. Ore-Ida loves to sleep and hunker down under the blankets! Such a good cuddler! She is located in Greeley and her adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Fred, 12 years, Male, Mini Poodle X, $250, Greeley
Meet Fred, a 12 year old Miniature Poodle X who is quite the funny looking guy with an equally funny personality. He loves to be by his person and be anywhere warm. He barks at you to tell you a story and gives the best side kisses from his permanently hanging tongue. Fred is located in Greeley and his adoption fee is 250 dollars.
Loca, 1.5 years, Female, Chihuahua X, $350, Keenesburg
These amazing ears belong to Loca! She is a 1.5 year old female Chihuahua mix who is the sweetest thing ever! She loves to sit right next to you or on your lap. She also loves to follow her people around. She sleeps through the night and is almost potty trained. She does great on a leash. So what gives? This little houdini can scale an 8 foot fence so her ideal home would commit to walking her in the yard while leashed or not have a yard at all! She is located in Keenesburg and her adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Boo, 9 weeks, Female, Border Collie X, Good w/Dogs, $400, Ft Collins
Boo is an 9 week old Border Collie mix who is ready for a family of her own. Her hobbies include running away with dirty socks, visiting pumpkin patches and following her humans around the house. She's practicing sleeping through the night, potty training and crate training. Making good progress! She is located in Ft Collins and her adoption fee is 400 dollars.
Emmitt, 10 months, Male, Weimaraner X, Good w/Dogs & Kids, $400, Denver
This handsome face belongs to Emmitt, a 10 month old Weimaraner mix. He’s a very playful boy with puppy energy that’s typical for his breed. He’s also super smart and food motivated which makes training a breeze! He loves playing with toys and other dogs and is also kid friendly. Emmitt is very affectionate, would make a great hiking buddy and would probably excel at agility training! His ideal home would be active and would continue his training to hone his manners. A furry play buddy in the house would be a bonus! This boy has a strong prey drive, so no cats or bunnies in the house! Emmitt is located in Denver and his adoption fee is 400 dollars.
