Please note that we only adopt to homes in or near by Penrose, Canon City, Pueblo west, Colorado Springs, and Denver. We also do not adopt to families with small children for the protection of both the dog and the children.
Available dogs are listed below. Please read carefully the information provided as you scroll down.
Cash
Cash is a 7-year-old Yorkie or Yorkie mix who weighs about 17 pounds and has a long tail. He’s an easygoing, mellow little guy who’s happiest living life at a relaxed pace.
Cash came to us with a severe yeast infection in his right ear, which has been treated. His future family should continue to keep an eye on that ear to help prevent it from returning. Other than that, he has no known health issues and has recently had a dental.
He was surrendered due to having accidents in the house. Cash does best when taken outside frequently and enjoys going for walks. Belly bands are not a great fit for him due to his rounded figure, and losing a couple of pounds would likely help overall.
Cash is a pretty chill dude. He enjoys attention and pets, is not a big barker, and would be perfectly content spending much of the day lounging, with walks being the highlight of his routine.
Cash would do best in a quiet home with no small children.
He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped.
Cash’s adoption fee is $275.

Libby
Libby is an 11-month-old Heeler/Malinois mix who had a tough start in life—abandoned as a newborn and bottle-raised by rescuers—which helped shape her incredibly affectionate, people-focused nature. She loves deeply and forms strong bonds with her humans.
With a big personality, a gorgeous Malinois-style head, and even bigger energy, Libby is an exceptionally smart, fun-loving young pup. At about 50 pounds, she is potty trained, kennel trained, and rides wonderfully in the car.
Libby loves her walks and is learning to walk politely on a leash. She’s an active, enthusiastic girl who would thrive in a home with a fenced yard and another playful, energetic dog. She does well with all dogs and has never shown aggression. Because she can be a bit rambunctious, we recommend older children and households without very small or senior dogs. She hasn’t been tested with cats but hasn’t shown signs of prey drive.
This playful pup enjoys tug-of-war, fetch, and cuddling up at the end of the day—whether in her kennel or in your bed, if allowed. Because she is extremely intelligent and requires both mental and physical stimulation, Libby needs an adopter who is not only active and patient but also confident with training and excited to help her reach her full potential.
Libby is spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $100.

All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, microchipped, and have their teeth cleaned if needed.
All applications must have a specific dog in mind for us to begin the adoption process. I'm sorry but we are not staffed to process applications for general future reference, and we are not set up to recall individuals with requests for a dog based on descriptions of what they are looking for.

To prospective adopters:
It is true rescuers are more particular of who they adopt dogs to. We see all the horrible treatment of animals every day. We literally rescue dogs from the poor or abusive treatment of humans. In my personal opinion, society has evolved to where owning a dog is a right and privilege. Most people consider only what they want and not what is right for the dog. That is why once a dog is in our hands, and consequently in our hearts, we make sure that anyone who adopts an animal from us has a good life to offer the dog. It is not an easy task. Everyone wants a dog. We try to screen people first before getting too involved with helping them find a dog, or we would be simply selling dogs. We are also a strictly a volunteer organization. Most of us work at least part-time jobs. Our time to the rescue is valuable and limited. We believe that anyone who is sincerely a wonderful potential adopter will endure the process.
