This is Tulip, a 9-month-old pup we took in. She’s a happy, fun-loving, and affectionate girl—the perfect mix of sugar and spice. She does like to chase cats (she’s a puppy, after all), but only to play with them. Tulip takes social cues and corrections very well from older dogs, but like a sassy pup, she also likes to push limits sometimes. She will do best in a home with someone home most of the time and with a more submissive dog as a fur sibling. Want to meet her? Call Cindy at 970-353-1385.

This is Grace, our 1-year-old Terrier/Poodle mix! She’s a friendly and happy young dog, 48 pounds, who adores people and is great with other dogs. Grace was found in the country when the temperature was single digits and below. A good Samaritan started feeding her and bought her a doghouse since he wasn’t able to catch her. We were finally able to trap her, and as soon as we did, she realized she was safe and that no one was going to hurt her ever again. She immediately became a total lovebug, relishing all the attention she was getting.

We don’t know her past, but it appears she wasn’t in loving home. Despite that, she’s a very loving and sweet dog. She’s also a typical pup! She’s high energy, and she needs a little work on her manners, as most young dogs do. We’d like a home with a six-foot fence and someone who can give this girl the attention she deserves. If you’d like to meet her, call Cindy at 970-353-1385.

Hi again rescues! There is only one dog so far this week in the La Junta Shelter. His time is up SUNDAY 2/25. Please let us know if your rescue can help and we will arrange transport to Pueblo, Colo Springs or the Denver area. We can also get dogs to other areas if we can find a volunteer to do so!
Meet Mason 🐾 (4 month old male, 26 lbs)
My name is Mason and I was named by the shelter manager's 3 year old granddaughter, who is currently obsessed with me. I love her too! Getting loved on my humans is pretty much my favorite thing. I am about 4 months old and 26 pounds of squishy goodness. I am a super happy boy and ready to start my new chapter! Can you please help me get a freedom ride??

The La Junta & Rocky Ford shelters are holding facilities for police stations and DO NOT operate like city shelters. They do NOT allow adoptions due to city laws. Only approved PACFA 501c3 rescues can pull dogs from these shelters. Our organization is set up to network the dogs in these shelters to ALREADY approved rescue groups and then coordinate the transportation. We are just volunteers who network the dogs in these 2 shelters to help get them more exposure. These shelters usually give each dog a Duramane 5 Max vaccine but that is all the vetting they receive. There are no vets on staff. We also coordinate transports each week (usually Saturday or Sunday) to the Denver area which is a 5-6 hour round trip drive – we just do the best we can but we are so grateful to have all of you guys to help save these pups! THANK YOU RESCUES

***We have a new pup up for adoption!*** This is Hank, a Heeler/Border Collie mix. He's just 1 1/2 years old and weights 42 pounds. Hank is totally housebroken, very affectionate, super smart (he's been through training), loyal, energetic, and all-around amazing. He loves to play with toys and play fetch, and he's good with other dogs (no cats, though). Sweet Hank rides well in a car and has even learned how to pull humans on a skateboard! We are looking for a forever home with someone home most of the time, with another young dog (preferably female) for him to play with, and with someone who has Heeler experience. Please call Cindy at 970-353-1385 for more info.

This is Aster, one of four pups we recently took in. Like the others, he’s a Golden Retriever/Poodle/Australian Cattle Dog/Kelpie mix, and like the others, he spent the first 14 weeks of his life living in a kennel. Despite that, he’s a happy boy and loving boy with tons of energy. Want to hike a 14er? He’s your dog, and once you get to the top, he will say, “On to the next one!” But Aster also loves to chill and just cuddle and relax with people. In fact, his favorite thing in the world is being with people.

He's nine months old and spent time around cats, chickens, horses, rabbits, and guinea pigs when he was younger, so if you have a homestead or farm, he might be a good match. Aster would do best in a home with someone home most of the time and with a dog who is more submissive and doesn't mind playing a lot. Want to meet him? Call Cindy at 970-353-1385.

This is Zinnia, a 9-month-old Golden Retriever/Poodle/Australian Cattle Dog/Kelpie mix. Our little Zinnia is a little reserved and will grow very attached to her forever parent. You will find her close to her person—or darting around pretending to be a greyhound! (She would be an amazing hiking buddy.) She loves to be out and about and she loves to play. She’s great with other dogs and takes social cues and corrections very well, but Zinnia prefers humans!
She would do best in a home that can give her an opportunity to run and has someone at home most of the time. A confident dog to help her get along in life would be a plus. To meet Zinnia, call Cindy at 970-353-1385.

Hi PACFA approved rescues! We have an incredibly precious doggie name Sunshine located in the La Junta, CO Shelter that is ready for transport this Sunday. This girl has been through it and deserves so much love. Please let us know if you can help Sunshine. 🙏

Thank you so much for all you do for HWY 50 doggies!!

Meet Sunshine (1 year old female, 29lbs) ☀️
My name is Sunshine and I am an absolute sweetheart with a story that will break your heart. My former person was down and out for a while, and eventually passed away. I was the only one there with him when he died and I was alone for 4 days before someone found my dad but I never left his side. The police notified my dad’s family but no one wanted me. I’m so sad and also very confused as to what is happening now. As you can see, I was not fed for some time and am incredibly malnourished. The shelter is feeding me small amounts so I can start putting on some weight again. I feel there’s a spot of sunshine coming back into my life and I am ready to be loved and treasured forever. I promise to be your sunshine. Will you help me out of here? 🐾

💵💌Nala comes with $150 to whichever rescue can bring her in!

Located in the La Junta Shelter - needs out by SUNDAY 1/21.

Thank you so much for all you do for HWY 50 doggies!!

Meet Nala 🐾 (30lb female, dog friendly, 4 months old).
This sweet baby girl was found abandoned near McDonald’s. She is around 4 months old and she weighed 24lbs when she arrived at the shelter and was protective of her food because she wasn’t sure if she would eat again. She weighs 30lbs now and is becoming more trusting of people and loves to play! She was so shy at first and was clearly not loved in her short life…now that she has been at the shelter for a little while and received snuggles and love from the shelter momma she has a little pep in her step and is ready to know love! ❤
