We are temporarily closed. We will be back in 2026
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.
Libby
Libby is a 11-month-old Heeler/Shepherd mix with a big personality and even bigger energy! Weighing in at about 50 pounds, this fun-loving pup is both potty trained and kennel trained, and she’s a great passenger in the car.
Libby loves going for walks and is already learning to walk nicely on a leash. She’s an active girl who would thrive in a home with a fenced backyard and another playful, energetic dog to be her best buddy. While she hasn’t been around kids yet, we think she’d do great with older children—she’s still working on not jumping, so she might be too much for little ones right now.
Libby’s ideal adopter is someone active, patient, and ready to keep up with her high energy and playful spirit. She’s incredibly sweet, loving, and eager to bond with her people. Libby had a tough start—abandoned as a newborn without her mom, she was bottle-fed and lovingly raised by rescuers. This early connection with humans has made her especially affectionate and people focused.
Because she plays hard, we recommend she not live with very small or senior dogs. She hasn’t been tested with cats but doesn’t show signs of prey drive.
Libby is spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $10

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.
