Bently is the sweetest boy who absolutely lives for your love and attention. He comes running the second you call him(if he’s not already glued to your side). He’s a pleasure to walk and sticks right beside you and doesn’t pull on the leash at all. At home he’s still a bit unsure of all the noises and movements but wants to be part of the family routine. His crate is his safe place and he retreats to it when something makes him a bit unsure but can easily be coaxed out again. He does great in it overnight or when we leave the house. He’s quickly become good buddies with our Rottweiler Molly and they’ll play non stop if we let them ?? He loves his food and treats but doesn’t seem to resource guard them at all. Bently marked a few times upon arrival in the house but I caught him both times and corrected him and he hasn’t since. He showed his teeth to Molly when we were petting him and she tried to butt in- but once again we corrected and he hasn’t done it since (think he was just a bit insecure). Such a good dog overall!

Hi I'm Winona or Winnie, but you can call me anything so long as you pet me! I LOVE to be petted and I love people. I've met several people and dogs on my walks and I'm great with them. I haven't met anyone I didn't lick, err, I mean like! I'm a little shy because the world is all so new to me, but I'm coming out of my shell. I'm a love bug, very good natured, timid because I want to feel safe but if you pet me, I'll be your bestie! So far I haven't had any accidents and I haven't made even a peep sleeping in my crate at night. I'm still learning my manners but like, who isn't? I just want to feel safe and know I can trust you and I'll snooze quietly waiting for our next adventure.

Hello! I'm Titus! I’m originally from New Mexico and am an energetic fella! I'm about 9 months old, recently neutered and really love being around my people. I have shown to bond well with my humans and am kind with kids ages 7 through 15. I also get along well with other dogs, cats and farm animals. It is my belief that most of the farm animals should play with me. Wheeee! Bock-bock chicken!! My person can call me off from advancing toward the cats and poultry while we are outside doing chores. I do have a good amount of puppy energy and would do best in a home where I'd get a good amount of attention, training and exercise. I can clear a 4 foot fence if left alone in the yard and will find something to pass the time if not given a toy. I am still working on my stop when you ask me to come. Vrooom! So far I'm mostly house-trained and do well with the crate, though I want to be around my human family as much as possible. I am loving and super fun! Please ask to meet me soon. PS: I love stuffy toys and looking out the window.

Trixie is a 3 year old cattle dog from Texas. She is friendly and playful with both people and other dogs. She loves playing with toys and will chase her foster brothers around the yard to play. She has the energy of a young dog, but is also able to relax in between playing. Trixie is potty trained. She is working on learning how to sit and how to settle in her crate. Trixie is a smart and sweet girl and is picking up on training quickly. She is going to be a great addition to her forever family. If you are interested in seeing more photos and videos of Trixie, please visit her fosters Instagram @smokeyandbanditcolorado.

Hallie is the best little puppy. She is very confident and does not shy away in new situations. She loves meeting new people and is confident around her much bigger foster sibling. She is very responsive and already comes when called… unless she has stolen an apple from the tree. Speaking of, she loves apples. She is very sweet and spends most nap times nestled under someone’s neck or the crook of their arm. Close is not close enough. She sleeps through the night in her crate without much of a fuss. While she is not potty trained yet, I’m confident she will be very easy to train.

Meet Titan, a 9 month old cattle mix from Roswell, NM. This sweet boy is looking for a loving and patient home. He's a good listener and is learning his basic commands. Titan loves people and is always eager to greet new friends. He may be a little shy in the city, but with some patience and training, he'll adjust. He's still working on being house-trained, crate-trained, and is comfortable sleeping through the night. Titan is a great companion and would love to be part of a loving family.

Duke just arrived in Colorado. Initial observations by his foster – He is very, very sweet, but initially shy/fearful. Duke is good with all my dogs, who range in size and energy level. He has been frightened by loud noises and quick movements but will probably relax after spending some time in a stable home. He submissive pees if you approach too quickly. He is crate trained; slept through the night in his crate and is potty trained (so far). His current communication mode is by whining but this may fade as he gains confidence in his new surroundings. Duke loves to play and is a gentle, submissive player, while he barely shows any interest in my cat. Does not chase. We will update Duke’s bio as he settles in with his new foster family.

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!

Artemis - the momma, and the dog that raises the bar, and changes your life for the better. This sweet girl has been thru the ringer and gave everything to her healthy puppies. She was neglected, mistreated, and likely lived most of her life as a stray. She needs patience and commitment to support her returning to a healthy weight with frequent meals, and her person to bond with. She's quiet and observant, and she's learning how to trust and be loved. She is for someone with experience and has time to feed her throughout the day and to take extra walks with.

Rune is a sweet, affectionate, active, and silly rescue pup. He is very smart and well trained. He has never had issues with chewing or counter-surfing. He loves to cuddle with people, and learn new tricks. He is very smart and loves to show off all the many tricks he knows (sit, stay, lay, weave through legs, spin, right paw, left paw, "come" to sit facing me, heel to sit at my side, and more). He would do best with older children. He can be dog reactive and should be introduced correctly and slowly to others. Call 602.524.9305 if interested.

I might be 2 years old but I am still full of puppy energy. I've been with my foster mom for almost a week now and I have learned two commands, "sit" and "flat". We are working on "wait" and "down" too. I love to go for walks and do pretty good on a leash. Other animals, cars and bikes are sure hard to ignore though. I think I would LOVE to have a big yard to run in, especially when I get the zoomies. My favorite thing is to be close to my person. I am the best snuggler. Honestly, close is not close enough. I want to lay right on top of you, snuggle up and fall asleep. I like my crate and sleep in it at night but during the day it's no fun. I can't be trusted to roam the house alone just yet because when I am bored, I find things to tear apart. I am a fast learner though and I want to make my person happy. I think I would do best with another dog in the house that will play with me and to help me learn the rules. I think I would like to have kids around too but they should be a little older because I still like to jump when I am happy.

Tyson is so friendly that he can’t get close enough to you for snuggles. He is 53lbs of lap dog trying to lick your face. He is very much a velcro dog (he likes to stay close to his people). He loves leash walks and doesn’t pull. Tyson is heartworm positive and currently undergoing treatment. This condition requires low exercise until treatment is completed. Tyson would love to meet and play with new dogs, but it would be best to limit his interactions until his treatment is completed. Tyson is already neutered. He is excellent in his crate and has only marked in the house a couple of times. Luckily, he responds very well to verbal corrections. This sweet love bug would love to meet you, so make sure you put an application in with his name on it!

Willie just arrived in Colorado and we will learn more as we go - Here is what we know so far: Willie knows no stranger. Willie is a really good boy, gets along well with other dogs, and enjoys being your shadow. He is an active puppy who loves walks, playing outside, learning new tricks, and running after toys (still working on fetching). He is working on not pulling during walks and learns quickly what can go in his mouth. Willie has a very sweet demeanor who just wants to be loved by his human.

Fuego was saved by his owners from his first home as they threatened that they were going to abandon him. He took a while to warm up, but once he did he became a very lively dog. Fuego lives up to his breed and has every little quirk and trait that heelers are expected to have. Unfortunately for Fuego, his owners who saved him can no longer take care of him. The amount of training and exercise he needs cannot be maintained at his current household. Fuego deserves more, he has potential to become an amazing dog and his current family knows it. Fuego is highly trainable, but needs a lot of work and dedication. He currently resides in a military home which the inconsistent lifestyle is a major stressor for him. Fuego is reactive to strangers, so his new owners would need extra patience. He loves the current toddler that he lives with but it’s unknown how he’ll react with other children. Fuego torments cats in a cattle dog kind of way but has never done any harm to them. He needs a big yard to run around and more chances to socialize. Fuego is loved, which is why this tough decision must be made. DOB: August 2023 Neutered, shots UTD Crate trained Located in Kansas **Please reach out to Hannah at 253-503-9952 if you are interested in adopting Fuego.

This is Jax. He is a 10 month old Australian Shepherd Blue Heeler mix. He was rescued off of Craigslist but unfortunately his current owner cannot provide him with the lifestyle he needs. He needs a home that will allow him to do what he was born to do which is heard livestock. He is full of energy but is very obedient and easy to train when he is getting the exercise he needs. He would make an amazing farm dog and be a loving addition to your family since he was raised around a toddler and is great with kids. Please contact Brittney at 720-928-1893 if you are interested or have any questions.

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

Ivy may be petite, but she is chock full of heeler personality! She is sweet, snuggly, playful, energetic, and feisty, but she is very under-socialized. This pup is a challenge and will need an experienced handler. Ivy struggles with walks in the bustling neighborhood of her foster home. She has anxious energy that leads her to pull on the leash, lunge, bark, and nip her foster siblings. At home, Ivy is still working on potty training and hasn't been destructive in the house. She is very athletic and curious, and will use that to her advantage to get onto furniture or counter tops. She enjoys playing on her own, but also wants to play with her foster family. Ivy needs a calming home and lots of guidance to become the best dog she can be.

Ranger loves playing with other dogs and cuddling with his person. He is high energy and may do best with an experienced dog owner. He is strong and stubborn, athletic and loving.
