Randy Bobandy

Randy Bobandy is one of the cutest and unique looking dogs out there. Inside he is very laid back and cuddly. He loves chomping bones, playing fetch, and stealing as much of the blanket as he can. He absolutely loves and craves being outside and would prefer to outside for extended periods of time. An ideal home would have a decent size yard that is fenced in and secure. He is an escape artist and looks for ways to gain as much space and freedom as he can, especially when bunnies are near! He can get along with other dogs but it is hit and miss. He plays a bit aggressive but has never attacked or injured another dog. It is more that he annoys them by playing with a little too much energy or at the wrong times. Living or spending consistent time with a calm, chill dog, he tends to match their energy and settle in to a comfortable existence. He is great with people, including children. He has met small children in the neighborhood and in public and behaved so calmly. Even with three small children crowding him and rubbing his face and ear excitedly, he remains very calm and loving. An ideal home would have the space, time and resources to train, stimulate and exercise him with consistency and love. He wants about 2-3 miles of walking/running time per day and will stand about 30 minutes of training sessions before growing bored. Overall, he is the sweetest, loving and playful companion and we can’t wait to find him the perfect place for him to grow and play and live his best life!

Zeke

Akyra

Akyra is a 4-6 year old female Malamute who has spent her entire life until now outdoors on a concrete slab with little interaction. In spite of this she is sweet and friendly with an adorable and goofy personality. She loves walks and belly rubs. Akyra shows excitement and reactivity with other dogs and would be best as an only pet for now.

Luca

I would like to introduce Luca. He is a sweet 4-year-old Husky mix, possibly with some German Shepherd. We have a DNA kit but haven’t swabbed him yet. Luca is tall and lean, weighs about 82 lbs, and stands about 5 feet tall on his hind legs. He is up to date on his vaccinations.

We’ve had the joy of having him for the past 2 years. Luca can be a bit shy around new people, big crowds, and even the wind, but once he warms up to you, he becomes a loyal and loving friend. He’s fully potty trained and has never been crated since we got him, though he was crated with his first family. He roams freely around the apartment and has never destroyed or chewed on anything.

Luca generally gets along well with other pets, though sometimes he tries to assert his dominance. He doesn’t do well with chickens. Contrary to the energetic reputation of Huskies, he is very mellow indoors. However, he would love an active family to keep him engaged.

Unfortunately, I am heartbroken to have to rehome him. For the past six months, I’ve been searching for a place that allows pets, but every place I find has size restrictions or chooses other applicants. Luca would match well with someone who is patient and gentle but active. Finding a loving home for him is my top priority.

Lupita & Suzie

Two wonderful dogs looking for their perfect home- with no cats!

Ziji

Family looking for a new home for our 7 year shepherd mix, Ziji. We have a 4 1/2 year old and a 6 month old and since having the second baby, we have come to the difficult decision that Ziji is not able to be with a family with small children. Ziji is athletic and loves to run, loyal and always by your side, and very smart. She can exhibit fear aggression behavior towards other dogs and sometimes people, so she needs a home with someone who is willing to give her plenty of exercise and positive reinforcement for these behaviors. Ziji has been with us since she was a small puppy, adopted from the shelter. She is a great companion but we do not feel that she is ready for another baby and toddler to be as this causes her too much stress and makes us feel concerned. If you would like more information, please contact Rebecca Schild at 303-810-4230.

Choco

I first saw Choco, with two of his littermates, about five months old, in the yard of a friend’s neighbor in Glenwood Springs, early in 2020. It was evident that all three were not doing well and their owner readily gave them up to me. Shortly afterwards, as the pandemic lockdown was beginning, the three puppies, my other dog, my cat, and I moved to a small town on the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico where we enjoyed an outdoor, off-leash life until nearly the present day.

Choco, like his siblings, is now a healthy, well-adjusted adult…neutered, current on vaccinations, and taking a parasite prophylactic monthly. At 42 pounds, he resembles a Belgian Shepherd. He is a happy and playful spirit, socialized to people and other dogs, and at least one cat, with whom he lived for about two years.  For most of our time in Baja, we walked, ran, and/or cycled on- and off-leash in the morning, afternoon, and evening, often for distances approaching, sometimes exceeding, five miles a day. He would be happiest in a home where he could join others in the household on walks, runs, and bike rides.

While all my dogs are affectionate, Choco leads the pack. He stays closest to me by day, frequently checking in, and sleeps closest to me by night. My days begin with a face lick. He also has a competitive nature, usually the one to return with the ball when we play fetch. If that’s at the beach, while the others are sizing up the waves and thinking, “Umm, I dunnoooooo,” he’s already crashed through them chest first and is nearly to the ball.

Finding a place to rent with five pets was difficult in Mexico. It’s impossible in Denver. It was my intent to offer Choco and his two siblings for adoption once they got on their feet and we returned to Colorado, which we are now doing. Placing the three in permanent homes there will be both joyous and heartbreaking for all of us. I’ve learned that that is the nature of successful fostering.
