Meet Gretel: A Shy Beauty with a Heart of Gold! Gretel is a stunning pup with a captivating personality that matches her striking good looks! Rescued alongside her siblings from a tough situation in Houston, Gretel has proven resilient, affectionate, and ready to embark on her next big adventure—a loving forever home. With her dazzling pale green eyes, sleek fawn coat, and irresistibly floppy ears, Gretel turns heads everywhere she goes. She may have a touch of hound or possibly Weimaraner in her mix, which gives her a regal yet playful charm. Gretl is approx. one year old and weighs a whopping 35 pounds – a true pocket pitty!

Gretel exudes a shy but curious demeanor. She has started to come out of her shell at her foster home but is still learning how to be a Colorado dog. She is working really hard on being brave about going on hikes and being in the snow and cold. She has come a long way but still prefers to stay inside with her human and snuggle – I mean after all she was dumped in a park to fend for herself – who wouldn’t want to never leave a cozy house!. Her foster mom says she does not have a mean bone in her body and is working hard at getting braver everyday. She is oh so smart and eager to learn and has already learned sit, down wait, and come. She loves to snuggle with her foster siblings (dogs) and gets along with them well and other dogs out and about. She is still getting comfortable playing with them because she gets shy. She is great at self-entertaining. Gretl is a sweet petite girl looking for a snuggle partner both human and dog. She would probably be ok with cats as she is on the submissive side. Are you ready to welcome this green-eyed beauty into your life? Gretel is waiting to meet her perfect match—could it be you?

Hi I’m Klaus! My foster parents tend to call me Buddy and that works just fine as well. I’m not just the cutest little puppy, I’m smart too! In just 2 days I learned how to go to bed in my comfy crate and I settle right on in. I love my cozy crate liner so much that I get to take it with me when I move - yay!!
I’m also well on my way to being potty trained at just 8 weeks old - I pick things up really easily and will have so much fun learning more. When I’m awake I LOVE to play! I’m great with other dogs and kids, and would love as much company as I can get. Chew toys and balls are my favorite - when I get excited I hop around instead of running and is just the cutest thing. I’ve got two speeds - play and sleep. When I’m all tuckered out I curl up in a little ball and snuggle in to the nearest plushie, human or pup that I can find. I'm a black lab mix!

Elsa is a super sweet, affectionate rez dog mix! Her family indicated she is a lab mix and her tan colored spots hint at a sprinkle of Australian Cattle Dog too. The vet indicated she is approximately 1 year of age and she weighs around 35 lbs. Little Elsa is thriving in her foster home and adjusting very quickly to indoor life. She is proving to be a very lovely house guest who is well mannered, polite and going outside to go potty on her frequent bathroom breaks. Leash walks are new for her but she is a smart cookie and got the hang of it in no time. Elsa gets along great with other dogs and lived with several other outdoor dogs on the reservation. She currently resides with her brother Elmer aka Stranger and they get along famously. She shows no fear or apprehension of new people and comes to humans easily with a wagging tail. She is begging to have a home of her own. She’s super gentle, no jumping and quiet. A beautiful girl with a loving spirit.

At just 8 weeks of age, Roxy is already full or charm and vigor! Her owner surrendered her after deciding that he didn't have time for a puppy. Cattle dogs are known for their intelligence, devotion and desire to "have a job". They are not generally couch potatoes so please do your research on the breed. Roxy will make a wonderful companion for a family who enjoys including their pets in their daily activities and providing sufficient physical and mental engagement. What a doll this girl is!

Five dogs are leaving the Navajo Nation today and transitioning to their best lives. No more breeding, no more puppies, no more living on the streets or on a chain. Those in rescue understand the countless hours it took to save them and the unanticipated obstacles that seem to pop-up out of nowhere and blind-side you. But for the cadre of incredible humans who persisted, I am grateful; the animals are grateful.

Tuesday we were asked to help a mama dog and her 7 puppies. They had to be out of the shelter by COB Wed. Miraculously Estella stepped up late Tues afternoon, jumped in her car Wed morning, drove several hours to the shelter, and saved 8 lives. Here's what she posted today.

"I get to kiss 28 tiny toe beans (7 puppies) for about 2 mths !

As if my life couldn’t be completed with these sweet babies who were found in an abandoned car.

Don’t mind me while I’ll be in Heaven and overloading everyone’s feed with updates and pictures.

Butters is a 2.5-year-old, 25-pound terrier mix with a cute, scruffy coat and soft, gentle demeanor.🐾💕 If you notice a bit of shyness in her eyes, you would be correct. Butters spent her early years outside or in a cold garage, longing for warmth and companionship. Her owners really wanted nothing to do with her so she is just now learning that life can be wonderful! Butters is blossoming in her foster home and discovering the joys of cuddles and gentle pets. Her foster parents absolutely adore her! She’s doing well with house training, reliably going potty outside when given breaks, and she’s fully crate-trained. She loves having an open crate as her safe retreat when she needs a little extra comfort. While still a little reticent in new situations, Butters enjoys human attention and will thrive in a calm, patient home where she can continue building her confidence. If you’re looking for a sweet, petite companion who just wants to be loved, Butters might be your perfect match! 🏡❤️

FOSTER FOUND!
Can anyone foster this mama Border Collie mix and her 7 puppies. She gave birth outside under a shed and they are now at the animal shelter. Animal control says mom is dog friendly and weighs around 40 lbs. There are 4 female puppies and 3 males. Approximately 10 to 12 days old. This is an 8 week commitment. The rescue will furnish food and supplies. A current foster application is required and can be completed here: https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-foster-application/

Laya is an adorable, happy little girl with a playful and adventurous spirit. She’s a dog’s best friend and would absolutely thrive with a furry sibling to romp around with. While she might take a little time to warm up to new humans, once she does, she’ll be your loyal companion for life. Laya had genetic testing done and she is Husky / Border Collie and Chow Chow. She weighs 32 to 35 lbs
Peanut butter is the key to her heart! Laya loves nibbling on bones, chomps, and anything peanut buttery. Treat her to a chicken or peanut butter snack, and you’ll see her eyes light up as she eagerly comes to you.
This smart girl knows her basics like “sit,” “lie down,” “wait,” and “let’s go outside.” And oh, how she loves the outdoors! Snow is her absolute favorite – she could spend hours digging and burying her face in the frosty fluff. A backyard where she can explore and play would make her the happiest pup in the world.
Laya’s a quiet sweetheart who rarely barks, but when she can’t see you, she’ll let out an irresistibly cute bark to remind you she’s there. She’s not one to manipulate or cause mischief; she just wants to explore the world, one wag at a time.
If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who’s happiest outside and would make an amazing addition to a dog-friendly home, Laya might just be the perfect match! She is 1 year of age. We are requiring another dog in Laya's new home as she LOVES other dogs.

Some updated pics of Lola's puppies. Caution, can addiction and require a puppy fix. At nearly 5 weeks of age, Bernie, Betty, Coco, Gabby, Julia, Mike, Pippa and Trooper are busy learning how to eat puppy gruel so mama Lola can get a reprieve from her feeding schedule. Of course, that means more work for foster mom and dad so thank you Janet and Greg! Mom is a 23 pound min-pin / dachshund mix and so far dad has not come forward so his breed is unknown. They are accepting pre-applications a https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/

Thank you for saving and fostering these kitties!.

Why yes I DID just pick up 4 more foster babies! So excited to partner with Dr. Sarah Giebel in Amarillo, Texas who is getting these fabulous felines out of high kill shelters, vetting them, and sending them to us where there’s many more adopters. Glenda Pelszynski is the hero in the pink Gracie's Project van who drives these kitties along with a bunch of doggos to rescues here in Colorado to find better lives!

Behind the scenes is Lilly Jo, founder of Circle 2 Rescue who is the most amazing rescuer I know and gives me whatever support I need to undertake any rescue project I find, Jess Kemeny for getting all of this food donated that I sent back to Amarillo (and she’s also an amazing foster), and my AMAZING farmsitter Tina White, who always says YES to any fosters I may have while out of town. Because of her, we can save even more lives!

To all those suffering the incomprehensible horror of these fires, we are sending love.

Photos you can feel.

The intense fire surprised Mr. Mario Alberto, who is deaf man, in the middle of the night. His humble house and his vehicle were on fire, but his only concern was his best friend, Gordo, who was still inside him. Desperate, he even tried to put out the fire with a hose but the flames were destroying everything, including his hopes of finding his dog alive.

He kept pointing out to the firefighters that nothing mattered more than his pet and when he thought he would never see him again, suddenly in the midst of the raging flames, one of them came out with his pet.
