Meet Sally, our most recent medical case

There is so much cruelty and hurt in the world today on so many different levels. One thing to remember though is, for every person doing harm there is an army of people doing good. Each day we see the worst in people. We see their ugliness. We see their evilness. What we also see is their compassion. We see their kindness. We see their desire to change the world they live in. Click here to learn about our very own Sally, the sweet and courageous pit bull, and the army of people behind her doing good!

Dogs of the week!

Mickey, 3 years, Male, Cane Corso, Windsor, $400, dog-friendly, older kid-friendly
Mickey is a bit of a goof ball that’s learning more and more each day. He hasn't spent much time in a home so he would love to find a home with someone who will be patient with him and can initially spend some time with him to help in his adjustment. He’s quite playful and relatively outgoing for his breed. He is dog-friendly but would do best with a confident female dog. He has a heart of gold and will be your most loyal companion. He misses his people when they're gone so he will need a strong crate that he cannot escape from. He would do best in a home with older kids or no kids.
Cooper, 10 months, Male, Windsor, $350, dog-friendly, older (12+) kid-friendly, house-trained, crate-trained
It's time to celebrate Cooper! He is a 10 month old Heeler mix who dreams of finding his furever home. He is a small boy at about 35 lbs but he makes up for his size with his courage and strength. He has made tremendous progress in the 4 months that he has been in his foster home. He absolutely loves other dogs (so much so that he needs a home with another dog) and is still learning to trust humans again. He has a lot of skills under his belt already and he is crate-trained, house-trained, and knows basic commands. He is still working on his confidence on leash and enjoys romping around like a puppy should. He would do best in a home without kids or kids over 12 years of age and a backyard. Most of all, he needs a family that will be patient with him as he learns to trust. But trust us, this special boy is worth the wait! If you're interested in checking out Cooper, please apply!
Raphael, 9 years, Male, Rottweiler, Windsor, $300, mellow dog friendly, no kids
Raphael is a 9 year old Rottweiler that still has a lot of gas in his tank! Overall he is mellow and calm, but he also loves toys and to play. He does have some arthritis in his hips, but he seems to be a brand new man with his pain management regimen. Raphael is looking for a kid free home and would love to be the only dog or he could live with another mellow companion. He knows the best is yet to come and if that could be with you please apply!
Bonnie, 4 years, Female, Lab/Rottweiler mix, Windsor, $350, most dog-friendly, kid friendly, needs 6ft fence
Bonnie is a 4 year old Lab/Rottie mix and this mix has given her some gorgeous markings! She has a heart of gold, quiet disposition (she doesn't bark at our rescue), and adores people. Bonnie is looking for a home with a 6 ft. fence and a family that is home often so that she can gain the confidence she needs to be a family dog. Bonnie can live as the only dog or with another like sized dog (she is about 75lbs). If a sweetheart is what you are looking for, please apply!
Tanner, 1.5 years, Male, Mastiff, Windsor, $400, dog-friendly, kid-friendly
Tanner will steal your heart with his soulful eyes. He is a 1.5 year old Mastiff who would love a home that can help him continue his transformation from a puppy to a dapper young man! Tanner is dog and kid friendly, has a happy outlook on life, and responds well to training.
Wrigley, 10 month old, male, American Bulldog mix, Fort Collins, $400, dog-friendly, kid-friendly, Ectrodactyly (lobster claws) on both front legs
The wondrous Wrigley just had a special photo shoot to show you all that he is single and ready to mingle! This 10 month old English Bulldog mix is an amazing boy who is so full of life. He doesn't let anything get him down, including a condition known as Ectrodactyly, or lobster claw, which he has in both of his front legs. He has learned to navigate the world and loves to snuggle up with his humans and interact with doggie friends. He condition does require some accommodations so he is looking for a family that can accommodate his needs. He is a smaller boy, weighing in at 35 lbs currently and he's not expected to grow a lot more. Stairs and some furniture can be challenging for him so he'd love someone who could help him over these hurdles. Soft floors (think carpet or rugs) are best for his condition. He is special, inside and out, and the joy he brings to his humans is totally worth any special accommodations he needs! Big thanks to Rebecca Weskamp for catching such a great action shot!
Sammy, 2 years, Male, Cairn Terrier/Lhasa Apso mix, Severance, $500, dog-friendly, older kid-friendly
Sweet Sammy! This 2 year old Cairn Terrier/Lhasa Apso mix is oh so perfect. He is house-trained, good with older kids, and enjoys playing with other dogs. He is a bit on the skinny side so he is working on gaining a couple pounds in his foster home in Severance. He would love a family who enjoys little dog snuggles and would take him on car rides here and there. If you've been searching for a boy like Sammy, please apply today.
Millie, 2 years, Female, Terrier mix, Windsor, $350, dog-friendly, kid-friendly
Millie is a 2 year old Terrier mix who at first was not sure about snow, but she has come to love it! She is about 23lbs, loves to run around and play, and is good with dogs and kids.
