Fiona's is here in her Colorado foster home and her favorite thing is to be petted. She could be pet literally all day and be happy, Fiona is an interesting mix of timid but not fearful. She’s very gentle, seems to be friendly with both dogs and young children. She’s starting to come out of her shell and is discovering toys and even the general concept of fetch. She’s getting the hang of leash walking. I think with time she’s going to be a really friendly and confident dog. Fiona has a tender heart and is ready to meet her new family!!

Pearl (Pearl Squirrel as we like to call her) is a little darling with a bit of devil. The basics are that she is crate trained, potty trained and knows quite a few commands. We live on 30 acres unfenced so we trained her (along with our labs) on the Garmin remote collar. She does great with her lab brothers, freely bossing them around with joy, however she doesn't like new, strange dogs. She can be very aggressive on or off leash when encountering dogs she doesn't know. She loves people and will greet strangers with a big tail wag and wiggle. Pearl will do tricks for treats and will show you quickly how smart, sensitive and in tune with her environment she is. She is lightning fast when out running around and is an excellent trail companion outside of the fact that she doesn't like trail encounters. We imagine that cats and chickens would not be a great fit for her. Spoiled is an understatement. She has come to love and expect attention, snuggles on the bed at night and rightly or wrongly so, has staked a claim to a pillow on the couch. It is here that she proudly watches over her domain. She enjoys an occasional counter surf...but we are working on that. She notices when things are new in the house or out of place from where they used to be, so it takes her a minute to adjust..like a vacuum in the middle of the living room. Pearl has the ability to win over hearts easily and ours are full because we know her. Contact Karina at 303.263.2722 if you would like to meet Pearl.

Hey there, I've just arrived at New Hope and my foster family is working hard to write my biography. Check back soon to read more about me or complete an adoption application so that my foster home can set up a meet and greet with you. We just might be the perfect match!

Goldie is a gentle, sweet soul with a heart full of hope for a kind and loving home she so deserves. While initially shy and sometimes startled by sudden movement, this special girl is learning every day what it means to feel safe and loved. She is eager to trust you and once she does, you'll see she's a lovable and silly goof ball, flinging her toys (and the occassional blueberry she wasn't sure she wanted to eat) into the air and getting an adorable case of the zoomies. While she is gaining confidence with new people and experiences, her overall demeanor is calm. She has striking golden eyes and loves cuddling up next to you for some scratchies around her neck and ears. Goldie is crate trained and will put herself to bed on her own. She is potty trained and learned the dog door quickly. She gets along well with other dogs and also cats. She is very eager to please and has picked up basic commands quickly. She is very food motivated, but soft to eat from your hand. She'd be a wonderful running and hiking partner. She is walking well on a slip leash but additional encouragement and training will solidify. Goldie has everything needed to quickly become a loving part of your family.

Hello! My name is Salt and I arrive in Colorado on 4/11. I am so very sweet and smart. I am what my foster mom calls "a blank slate." I probably never lived in a house and have not been socialized, whatever that is... My foster mom also says I am quiet and calm for a puppy and picking up on the potty trains very quickly. I would do great with a family who wants a very young puppy to train from scratch. P.S. I love to cuddle.

Ollie is a 3 year old spayed Aussie mix. She is a spunky gal who is down for an adventure or just hanging out with her people and dog friends. Ollie loves and plays hard with our other dogs and absolutely loves people she has gotten to know but can be a bit timid when first meeting new people or dogs so slow intros will help her be successful. Ollie has been trained by and currently fostered by a professional dog trainer. She walks well on a leash without pulling knows heel, sit, down, “here” (recall), place, kennel and “out” (drop it). She is crate and potty trained. Ollie *can* be reactive to people, dogs and loud trucks/motorcycles but when managed and with guidance through these moments with appropriate communication from her handler, she is able to work through these triggers and remain calm and neutral. Ollie is good with cats, kids over 12 years old and other dogs with slow introductions. ———————————————————— Adopter will receive free Private Lessons for one year after adoption from Reach The Peak Dog Training.

My name is Ella and I live in Divide Colorado. I am a 2 1/2 year old Blue Heeler and I am a Colorado native (not bragging, just saying). I have been spayed but am not leash trained as I live on a large piece of property. I am also not trained for cattle. I currently live with other dogs but I want to be the boss so it may be best if I am the only doggo in my new home. I love the snow and have lots of energy so I will need a job or daily exercise. Please email Susan Tanner at tannersusan47@gmail.com to schedule a meeting or for further information

Edda is a sweet, smart, energetic, and loving dog looking for a family who can provide her with the structure and support she needs to thrive. She's potty trained and sleeps in her crate throughout the night. We're working on helping her become more comfortable in her crate during the day and on a place cot, as she is showing some initial signs of separation anxiety. Given her high energy, Edda would benefit from a calm, structured environment where she can learn to settle and quiet her mind. While Edda enjoys being active and loves going on walks, she is still adjusting to the world around her. She can be easily startled by unfamiliar sounds, so she would do best in a home where she is slowly and carefully exposed to new environments. Patience and understanding will be key as she builds her confidence in new situations. Edda currently lives with two male dogs and has shown that she can get along well with other dogs. We recommend a dog-savvy owner who understands the importance of providing clear structure and managing her high energy. With the right guidance, Edda will continue to blossom into a well-adjusted and loving companion, ready to be your adventure buddy! You can see more of Edda on her foster’s instagram page smokeyandbanditcolorado. Please ask to meet Edda soon!

I'm Ivy Willow, small in stature, huge in personality. I'm looking for a home with strong pack leaders, large secure yard, and a male dog buddy with a mellow personality. I require lots of exercise as I'm not quite a year old. I'm good riding in the car, crate trained for periods less than 4 hours, walk well on leash. I know many commands as I'm VERY smart. NOT good around cats or children as my prey drive causes me to chase & nip. I'm working on being less socially reactive towards strangers & other dogs. My fosters whom I love to cuddle with have several dogs that I've fit right in with, so I know my potential. But truthfully I'm a work in progress. So I'll need direction & patience to help me to grow. If you think we could be the right fit for my journey then complete an adoption application & pick me as one of your dogs of interest. Thanks! Ivy Willow

Mack was rescued from Roswell, NM. She had delivered puppies there and all were transported up to New Hope Cattle Dogs Rescue in Colorado. Now that she is not nursing anymore (her pups are available for adoption), she is coming around and playing with her foster’s dogs. More info to come. Please ask to meet Mack soon.

I am Benji and I look like the cutest, tiniest little polar bear. I am playful and boucy, but also one of the the more mellow pups in our litter. I can play hard, but am just as happy to roll over for belly rubs from my humans. I love exploring every nook and cranny in the backyard. I'm looking for an owner to explore with me...and give me lots of belly rubs of course.

I am Cinch, and I'm a gorgeous red boy and the biggest pup of the bunch. My dad must have been a tall guy because I have long legs! I love attention and if I see my humans nearby I will cry for them to come love on me. I am happy and playful and will make a great family member for an owner who can give me the time and attention I need.

I am Mabel and I may look like a beautiful, brown shepherd but I am all cattle dog attitude. I am an active and playful little girl. My favorite activity is to join in with the big dogs in my foster home, whatever they are up to. I love to run in my back yard and wrestle with my siblings, but am also quick to ask for snuggles from my humans. I would make the perfect addition to an active family.

I lam Arlo and I look like the cutest little teddy bear with my brown cheeks and merle belly. I am a frisky little boy, always in the thick of it with my siblings. I play a little rough and will likely be an active, athletic dog. I love playing tug and chewing on sticks in the back yard (after stealing them from my siblings, of course). I would love to find a busy, active owner that can include me in their adventures.

Mikko has become a beloved favorite at The Dog Ranch. Sweet, loving he has captured the hearts of everyone he meets. 2yrs old, 35 lbs, he is up to date on all his vaccinations, neutered, heartworm negative. Mikko would do best as the only dog in the home for now. But with the right guidance & patient introduction, he could learn to coexist with another dog. To make his transition smoother, we're offering to cover the cost of training in his foster or adopters home. email: AdoptRoadToHome@gmail.com Call or text to: 516-728-0293

We adopted Petey as a puppy at a local animal shelter. We have had Petey for 2 years and love him to pieces. Petey loves his people, and loves to cuddle when ever one of us is sick or tired. He loves his walks and we are working on not pulling so much on the leash but there is so much to smell. He is kind of getting interested in fetch but that usually turns to keep away or tug of war. He loves to find a random stick but is not destructive to anything in the house other than a trash can if left out or unlocked. Petey needs to find a new home because he is not getting along with the neighbor's dog and it is causing friction with the humans. For more information on Petey, PLEASE CALL JOE DIRECTLY AT 303.887.7754.

I am Cleao and I am a beautiful, dainty girl with the shiniest black coat to contrast my merle belly and socks. Don't let my size fool you, I am the true alpha female of the litter. I am strong willed and go toe-to-toe with even the big dogs in my foster home. I am smart and always watching. I will make a great companion for an owner who is strong and patient and who will keep me active and engage my whip-sharp mind every day.

Hi, I'm Riley. I'm a fantastic, mature girl who is looking for a great family. I have a wonderful home right now but unfortunately there is already another little girl and we both want to be the queen...and that doesn't work with heelers. So, I need a place where I can where my crown and be the princess that I was born to be. I'm fantastically smart and would love to be in a home where I can achieve my full potential. If you can provide me with a castle, please contact Ben at jammedat@gmail.com.

Hey there, I'm Venus I'm about 3 months old and my foster mom says I'm so smart! I love all people and dogs I meet, plus I'm a great little hiker! Of course I have a lot of cattle dog energy, so I'm up for anything and everything! If you love adventure like I do, please fill out an application to meet me.

Hello! My name is Roper and I arrived on 4/5 from Pampa, TX. I was found with another dog near a busy highway. I am 3 years old, neutered, handsome and high energy. I may need some time to adjust to city living as I can be vocal when I see something new like a big truck while I am riding in the car or a squirrel in the backyard. I am learning the doggie door and I enjoy playing with Windy who is also available for adoption. Overall, I am good with other dogs but sometimes I like to pretend like I am tough and it ends in a squabble between dogs. I need help smoothing this part of me out. I am very good with people. Please ask to meet me soon. PS: I like to chase cars and I have a mullet on my tail

The next adoption event is on May 4, 2025 from 11 am to 1 pm at The Bark Club located at 3225 S. Wadsworth Blvd., Unit F, Lakewood, CO. Please fill out an online adoption application at coloradoheelers.com PRIOR to attending!

Hello! My name is Nutmeg and I arrive in Colorado on 4/13. More info to come as I settle into my foster home. See you soon!

Hello! My name is Pepper and I arrived in Colorado on 4/11. I am so very sweet and smart. I probably never lived in a house and have not been socialized, whatever that is...I am a little cautious about new things but I am motivated by food and TOYS!! I am good in my crate and am working on potty training. I would do great with a family who wants a very young and energetic puppy to train from scratch, especially if they have toys.
