🐶 Dog of the Day: Opal! 🐶
Meet Opal, the stunning 1-year-old Shepherd mix with a heart as soft as her luxurious fur! This sweet girl is the perfect balance of playful and snuggly—she loves romping around with other dogs just as much as she loves curling up for couch cuddles.
Opal comes professionally trained, is crate and potty trained, knows how to use a dog door, and sleeps soundly through the night. While she can be a little shy at first, she’s a total daddy’s girl who thrives with calm, patient men and would love an active family to continue her socialization.
She’s also a bit of an athlete—Opal can easily clear a 4-foot fence to go say hi to the neighbors, so she’ll need a home with a 6-foot fence or taller to keep her safe!
Opal would love to have another dog in the home to help her feel confident and playful. If there are kids in the home, older children would be best to respect her initial shyness and need for a calm environment.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a bright smile and an even brighter future, Opal is your girl! Could she be the missing piece to your family?

Dog of the Day: Meet Dotty! 🐾
Dotty is a gentle soul with a heart full of love, waiting for the right home to help her shine. Though she’s been through a lot, Dotty’s resilience is inspiring. She might be a little shy at first, quietly observing her surroundings and taking her time to feel safe. Don’t mistake her initial caution for hesitation—she’s simply learning that the world can be kind.
Since Dotty is so shy, she’s one of our special stay-at-home cuties, preferring a calm, quiet environment where she can feel secure. She will thrive best in a home with another dog, to guide her and help her with her confidence
Once Dotty feels at ease, her sweet and loving nature truly blossoms. She adores calm, patient environments where she can build trust and form strong bonds. Dotty is house and crate trained, great with kids, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Her ideal home is quiet and full of love, just the kind of setting where she can continue to grow and thrive.
If you think you can give Dotty the calm and caring home she deserves, she’s ready to reward you with a lifetime of companionship and unconditional love! 🐶❤️

🐾 Training Tips Tuesday | Hydration on the Go! 💧🐶
Brought to us by Jordan's K9's Jordan's Canines and Video of recently adopted Shadow (Formerly known as Billie Jean)
Did you know teaching your dog to drink from a water bottle can be a game-changer during outdoor adventures or travel? 🥤 While water bowls are great, they’re not always available or convenient. Training your pup to drink directly from a bottle ensures they stay hydrated wherever you go. Here's how to get started:
Introduce Slowly: Familiarize your pup with the bottle by letting them sniff it first. Reward them with treats or praise for any interest they show! tilt the bottle slowly, remember your dog will still have to take in the water with their tongue
Practice: Incorporate this into your daily walks or outings until it becomes second nature.
Teaching this skill can save the day when exploring the great outdoors or navigating an unexpected situation. Stay hydrated, stay happy! 🌟
Got tips of your own for hydration on the go? Share them below—we’d love to hear from you. 🐕💙

🎉 Dog of the Day: Meet Jedidiah! 🎉
Say hello to Jedidiah—aka Jed, Jeddy, or “handsome bo-bandsome”! 😍 This 2-year-old, big-hearted goofball is pure joy wrapped in fur. Don’t let his size fool you—he’s a playful puppy at heart, ready to bring energy and love into your life!
After months in a shelter, Jed’s thriving in his foster home, mastering house and crate training like a champ. He’s super smart, eager to please, and working on polishing those puppy manners (he’s almost there!).
Jed’s dream home? A family with bigger kids, a playful doggie sibling (preferably a chill female), and maybe even a confident cat. With a little patience and a lot of love, Jed will reward you with endless cuddles, loyalty, and tail wags.
Could you be his forever family? 💌 Reach out to Karl’s Canine Krew today!

🌟🐾 Meet Pickles, Our Dog of the Day! 🐾🌟
Say hello to Pickles, the ultimate big-dog mashup! 🐕 This sweet boy is a mix of Pitbull, Staffordshire Terrier, American Bulldog, Boxer, and Great Dane—an adorable cuddle monster with a personality as big as his heart! 💕
Pickles is a social butterfly who loves hanging out with his doggy friends and has plenty to say about it. He’s also incredibly smart, mastering commands like sit, stay, off, and fetch in no time! 🧠✨ Though he’s working on his leash manners, he’s already accident-free indoors and ready to please.
When outside, Pickles is all about fun—playing games like chase and tug-of-war bring out his goofy side. But when he’s indoors? He transforms into the ultimate couch potato, happiest when snuggled up with his humans. 🛋️🐶
Pickles is kennel trained and sleeps soundly in his own bed, though don’t be surprised if he follows you from room to room—he just loves being close to his people! ❤️
A Special Note: When Pickles was a pup, he experienced an injury or illness that caused some neurological damage. This unique gait of his makes stairs tricky, so he’ll thrive in a home without them. He may also be more prone to arthritis as he ages, but with the right care, he’s ready for a long, happy life by your side! 🐾
If you’re looking for a loyal, snuggly, and ridiculously smart best friend who will always stick by your side, Pickles is your guy! 💖

Kiki is celebrating her birthday by doing what she loves most—soaking up affection, learning new things, and dreaming of her future forever home. ❤️ She’s an incredible reminder of what second chances can do.

🎥✨ Meet Sky, our Dog of the Day! 🐾
This gorgeous girl is full of energy and love, ready to find her forever home. 💕 Sky is a mixed breed beauty—likely a Belgian Malinois and Husky mix—house and crate trained for an easy transition into your life. But don’t be fooled; this active pup needs 1-2 hours of daily exercise and plenty of space to run. 🏃♂️ A big, fenced yard would be her dream come true!
Sky is affectionate with adults and loves her people but prefers slower introductions with other dogs and calmer environments without young children. 🐕💖 If you’re an active, outdoorsy person or family with space for Sky’s playtime, this loyal companion could be your perfect match!
📅 Schedule a meet-and-greet today to see if you and Sky are meant to be. Who knows? She might just run straight into your heart. 🐶💨

🐾 DOG OF THE DAY: MEET HANK! 🐾
Looking for a loyal companion? Meet Hank, a charming 2-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog mix weighing 60 pounds. This sweet country boy started his journey as a stray in Texas but made his way to Colorado, where he’s now searching for his forever home. Could it be yours?
🌟 A little about Hank:
He loves the outdoors, whether it’s playing or going on walks.
Hank is a polite walker—no pulling on the leash!
He’s dog-friendly but independent. He’d enjoy a canine companion or solo outings to the dog park.
Hank prefers to eat in peace, as he didn’t always know where his next meal was coming from.
He’s potty trained, kennel trained, and even knows how to use a doggy door (though he might need some time to adjust in a new home).
He’s great in his kennel and sleeps soundly through the night.
Hank is laid-back and loves lounging on a big dog bed but also gets excited for attention. Because of this, he’d do best with older kids who won’t mind his enthusiasm.
Hank is ready to ride into the sunset with his forever family. If you’re looking for a loyal, laid-back cowboy who’s full of love, Hank might just be the perfect match.
