Hi I am Phantom, I am pure love but also anxious when my human is out of reach. I know how to walk and run really well on a leash but lately I have felt more anxious and get very strong on the leash when we pass or see some dogs. I’m currently working on managing my excitement when I see another dog while out on a walk or hike. I've also felt a little overwhelmed if walking next to a busy street. I would benefit from a calm and quiet house full of people love. I've not shown any aggression toward new people coming into the house and loved my teenager humans. I sleep super well overnight in my crate. I can sit pretty all day and am food motivated but not when overly-stimulated. I love to lay at your feet. I am a big strong dog and still learning boundaries. Even though I’m a bit thin, my giant head and longer legs make me on the larger side at 47 pounds. I have a short tail that wags like crazy when I’m excited, and I have the softest dark red and white fur. I am looking for a calm place to land where I can have lots of structure and time with my humans. PS: I am doing well with the farm animals in my foster home (horses, goats, donkeys and haven’t gone near the chickens)

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!

Cinco is a shepherd-heeler mix and is a sibling of Tres and Dos. Cinco is settling in nicely in his foster home and with his foster brother. He started out a bit skittish but is slowly accepting new things once he gets comfortable, He is observant and at ease when he gets to initiate contact. Cinco sleeps through the nite, is potty trained, and good on leash. He is also ok with the crate. Cinco likes to chew and to explore and he also knows how to chill - He loves love and attention as long as he comes to you first. On his walk he seems comfortable with kids. Cinco is learning his place in the world and that he I can be safe in it. Please ask to meet Cinco soon! High-five!

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

Moose is a dynamic social affectionate and energetic pup who would love to be your best friend. Moosie is always happy, joyful and curious. He came to us from KS as a stray. He is a neutered male about a year old. He is fully potty trained and is well mannered. He loves his walks & his toys and he’s wonderful with children. This pup would require daily physical activity as he enjoys the outdoors very much and his superior manners would not make him an ideal dog for crating long hours. Mr. Moose will make some lucky family the best companion ever!

I am VERY much a puppy! learning how to be a civilized dog in a household - a bit destructive, barky, nippy, chewy and I looove to play. I came from a farm with no rules so I am learning everything from scratch. I am only beginning to learn what boundaries are. Nippiness - When I get a lil too mouthy I will get vocal and bark and kinda try to nip for wanting things my way I am learning that the crate is a place I can have down time so I guess I have to get use to it. I do bark at the start but then I settle down and take long naps or throughout the night. I really like to play with my foster brother so far, I get along really great with him! I’m learning that he needs to rest and doesn’t want to play 100% of the time. My foster sister is another story – I am definitely trying to learn the cues from her when I am close enough to touch-noses I am not sure if I want to play-or-I want to dominate She has gotten good about sitting or not reacting but I definitely have a lot to learn as far as not wanting to go after her. I’m learning to interact with people. The more comfortable I get with my people the more I push my boundaries. I try out my sassy act with a bark-bite but I’m not mean at all. I am young and use to being wild and free. I am definitely too big for smaller kids or elderly because I don’t really know my own strength. I just learned what a leash is and so I am still working out how to take nice walks, sit for treats and not pull the entire walk. I am also learning how not to worry about every dog I see along the way. I’ve learned to sit at the door when asked-when going outside for potty-breaks, lil walks in the yard or longer walks. I also am learning to give “paw” as a hidden talent since it feels so nice to be told how much of a “good-boi” I am! I really am sweet but I will give a vocal warning/whine/gentle air nip-if I am not really feeling totally into being pet or engaged with. Again, I am a puppy and learning everything – I would love to find a family willing to teach me, train me and love me.

Skye is 38 pounds of joy, exhuberance and love. She arrived from a shelter in OK just a few weeks ago. It is evident that she has had pups, but now she wants to be a puppy herself. She is around 2 years old and recently spayed. She can be overly exuberant at times, and needs consistent love and support, to be her best self. Kids and other pets may be overstimulating for her. She needs a calm, steady individual or family, who can be patient and kind, while she is learning what is required of her in a family. She learns very quickly and would do well with obedience training. She is quick to learn what is expected of her, and her best judgement is sometimes overcome by her enthusiasm and puppy-like qualities. She enjoys human company and it would be helpful if she could be with someone who stays at home, as she thrives on human contact. She loves everyone, is affectionate, and a wonderful companion. She invents her own games, and may not know how to play safely with other dogs. She likes to play ball, and will chew up ice or frozen treats. Skye is looking for a special person or family to belong to and has a lot of love to give to whoever will give her the chance.

Ripley has gone through a lot in her life. She was adopted then let loose and picked up by a good samaritan. They took her to another shelter where they labeled her as stressed. Now that she is in a foster home, she has blossomed into a playful dog. She is eating well, likes chasing balls outside but seems a little shy of the broom and your hand. We are happy to help Ripley find a forever home where she can finally settle in for love. Please ask to meet Ripley soon.

Hello! I am from Roswell, NM where I was surrendered to a high-kill shelter after my owner passed away. I arrived in Colorado on 3/7 and brought the sunshine after the big snow. More info to come after I settle into my Colorado foster home. Please ask to meet me soon! PS: I overheard my foster say that I am an awesome little dog

Hello! My name is Dos and I am a nervous nelly when it comes to new people and situations. I am a total velcro dog with my foster mom and can be a little protective of her with the other dogs and the rest of the family. After settling in to my foster home, I have learned that it's okay for us all to snuggle together and I don't need to hoard all the love. I am a little pully on a leash, but I LOVE walking. I get very excited when we see other dogs out walking or when they bark at me through a fence. I am super playful (fetch and tug toys are my favorite) and love to play with my foster siblings. They are big dogs, but I am spunky and fast and we have the best time chasing and wrestling. I am a little scared of men at first, but have learned that my foster dad is great for playing and snuggles, and now I love him too (almost as much as mom). I have a very comfy crate with lots of bedding and I happily sleep there all night. I would do best in a home where my humans are home more often than not. I would really love to have a furry sibling or access to other dogs as it really boosts my confidence and helps me feel comfortable. Please ask to meet me soon! PS: I am potty trained.
