Dakota


Dakota is a 2.5 month old lab/mastiff mix that was rescued from out of state
where she had been found by a good samaritan and hand raised in foster care
until she was big enough to catch transport and make it here to Denver. Dakota
is spayed, vaccinated for age, flea and tick treated, dewormed, microchipped
with registration, and is on heartworm preventative. Dakota is working on
general obedience, house and crate training, and loving life as a pet in a home
with a foster family while she waits for the perfect home to spot her. She is
great with other animals and people of all ages. Dakota is $400 to adopt, and
based on head and paw size, will be on the larger end of the sale as an adult.

Dixie


Dixie is a 6 month old mixed breed pup (her head looks a bit beagle, and she is
solidly a smaller middle sized dog). She was transferred to our organization
because her original location was a rural out of state shelter, and she is
warming up to a lovely pet quality companion. Dixie is working on crate and
housetraining, general obedience, and becoming a little more outgoing with
consistency and safety now that she is no longer in a loud shelter environment.
Dixie loves other dogs, does great with people of all ages, and we think would
likely do fine with a properly introduced feline. Dixie is spayed, vaccinated,
microchipped, flea and tick treated, dewormed, has tested negative for heartworm
and is on preventative. She is a lovely girl who just needs a chance with a
loving family. Dixie is $400 to adopt.

continue with puppy training and exercise! Casey has been neutered, is
microchipped with registration, has been wormed, flea/tick treated, and is up to
date on vaccinations for his age. His adoption fee is $400.

Cricket


Cricket is a three year old German Shepherd who was saved from a very
overcrowded midwestern shelter. Cricket is a doll; she loves riding in the car
(especially when they involve pup cups from the local coffee shop) and is
warming up beautifully after what we expect was an undersocialized start in
life. She is making great progress with crate and housetraining; with her GSD
smarts, we think she'll have it all mastered in no time. Cricket is looking for
a home with dog experience (GSD experience would be even better) and a
commitment to helping this girl shine. Cricket has been spayed, is microchipped
with registration, has been wormed, flea/tick treated, heartworm tested
negative, on prevention, and is up to date on vaccinations for her age. Her
adoption fee is $300.

Diego


Diego is an 11 month old chihuahua/rat terrier mix that was rescued from a very
rural shelter where he just didn't get the exposure he needed to find his
forever family. Diego has had some training as he knows sit (and possibly some
other commands) and is very people friendly. Diego also enjoys other dogs and
would be fine with cats (he is extremely tiny), and he would be an excellent
choice as a dog in a home or town house where he only got limited exercise as he
is most happy curled up on the couch or under the covers with his people. Diego
is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped with registration, flea and tick treated,
dewormed, has tested negative for heartworm and is on a monthly preventative.
Diego would love to love you and be your bestest little buddy. He is $400 to
adopt.

Dolly


Dolly is an 11 month old shepherd mix that was transferred from a rural shelter
where she just had no hopes of adoption. Dolly likes other dogs and does fine
with people if given the opportunity to warm up (and does even better if you
have some yummy treats to move the meeting forward.) She is very calm and we
think she would likely do fine with felines in the home with a monitored
introduction. Dolly is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped with registration, flea
and tick treated, dewormed, heartworm tested negative and is on preventative.
Dolly continues to improve with basic obedience and house training, and would be
an excellent relatively low maintenance canine for someone interested in a
companion for hikes, walks, and naps. Dolly is $400 to adopt.

Donovan


Donovan is an 8 month old husky/shiba inu mix who has the happiest smile. He had
the distinct disadvantage of winding up at a very rural municipal shelter
through no fault of his own, and is now looking for an opportunity at a better
life here in Colorado. Donovan is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped with
registration, flea and tick treated, dewormed, has tested negative for heartworm
and is on heartworm prevention. Donovan is working on general obedience and
being fully housetrained without supervision, but he is doing very well so far.
Donovan likes other dogs and people of all ages (we are not sure how he would
act with cats, but he is on the smaller side so as long as initial introductions
were supervised, he should be able to get along with a feline friend. Donovan is
an adorable dog in the perfect middle size range. He is $400 to adopt.

Dorothy


Dorothy is a 5 month old yellow lab mix (that may have some great pyrenees in
her if her rear double dew claws are any indication.) She has a lush, almost
white coat, but her smile and goofiness is all lab pup. Dorothy is working on
crate and house training, and she is very willing and wanting to please, so her
obedience training is coming along nicely. Dorothy is spayed, vaccinated,
microchipped with registration, flea and tick treated, dewormed, and is negative
for heartworms while on a preventative medication. She loves other dogs, adores
children, and would likely do great with a feline who either had good
established boundaries with canines, or one that wanted to be her friend.
Dorothy is all the best things that people love in our four legged companions,
and would be an amazing addition to a family that wanted an active participant
in the pet department. She is $400 to adopt.

Dover


Dover is a 6 month old purebred yellow lab who has the most outstanding
personality besides being Derek Zoolander gorgeous (but also derpy). He was
transferred from a very rural shelter out of state where he had been picked up
as a stray. Dover seems like he probably had a decent home before his time in
county lock up, but not being neutered didn't help with his desire to roam. No
one came forward to claim him, and due to the location of the shelter, he also
got ignored for adoption. Dover is a honey love of a dog - he is now neutered,
vaccinated, microchipped with registration, flea and tick treated, dewormed, has
been tested negative for heartworm and is on prevention. While he doesn't love
his crate, he is learning the structure of having to use one, and is picking up
housetraining more consistently as a result. Dover has never met a stranger - he
loves people and animals of all types, and would be an amazing family dog or a
dog for a first time owner that can commit to at least some obedience training
and exercise. Dover is $400 to adopt.

Dylan


Dylan is one of those funny looking low rider dogs as a 3.5 year old basset
hound mix. He weighs less than a basset, and has a very happy go lucky and care
free demeanor. Dylan is working hard on crate and house training, and he loves
treats and other dogs in addition to people of all ages. Dylan loves belly rubs
and would love to join a family or household where he could be an active part of
activities like walks or hikes or even just backyard bbqs. Dylan is neutered,
vaccinated, microchipped with registration, dewormed, flea and tick treated, is
on heart worm prevention and tested negative for heartworms. Dylan would be an
amazing addition and conversation piece if he is just given the chance. He is
$300 to adopt.
