Happy Tails Update: Sapphire, now known as Kaiya!

It's always wonderful to see who our puppies grow up to be. Sapphire (now known as Kaiya) came to us as a 10-month-old with that puppy energy. Here's what her family has to say about her now:

"We renamed her to Kaiya, and kept Sapphire as her middle name :)
She is the happiest, derpiest, most affectionate, loving dog ever. She exudes sunshine all the time. We are so so lucky to have her.

She lives with the most handsome tuxedo rescue kitty, Jasper. And a black lab puppy from Boulder Humane Society, Millie!! They are best friends and play together all day long. These girls are absolutely inseparable and soul mates.

Their favorite place to go is Grandma's house! Grandma has a huge backyard and 3 English bulldogs that we visit multiple times a week. They all get along so well, Kaiya & Millie were totally welcomed into the pack.

My boyfriend and I are both first responders, so she has been to plenty of fire stations and has become a wonderfully behaved station dog.

She went on a HUGE adventure this summer, a 3-night rafting trip on the Colorado River! She is a natural swimmer and loves it!!

We got her DNA results through Embark and learned she is 64% German Shepherd, 13% Golden Retriever, 12% Catahoula Leopard Dog, and 11% Great Pyrenees.

She's truly impressed us as she loves everyone and everything; dogs, cats, kids, and babies. No reactivity whatsoever.

I've attached photos of her to this email. I hope you all enjoy. I apologize that it took this long to send you an update. I do plan to bring her by one day, so you all can say hi again.

Thank you for taking such good care of her. We can tell she was so loved :)"

And we can tell that she is so loved now. Thank you for choosing Kaiya, and giving her the absolute best life.

Berry arrived in our night drop at ten years old with three of her daughters, and it was clear she had faced more than any dog ever should. She had almost no hair, painful raw skin, deep scars across her back, and fresh scratch marks on her side. Even her paperwork mentioned โ€œbite marks.โ€ Everything pointed to one heartbreaking truth. ๐’๐ก๐ž ๐ก๐š๐ ๐›๐ž๐ž๐ง ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž๐, ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐.

Our veterinary team immediately got to work. They treated her skin, diagnosed hypothyroidism, started her on medication, helped her lose weight safely, and cared for her alopecia. As tiny fuzzy patches of hair began to grow back, Berry learned she was safe. Slowly, she learned she could trust us. She learned what comfort felt like.

Every part of her healing happened because of supporters like you. ๐˜ฟ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ง๐™จ ๐™ข๐™–๐™ ๐™š ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ž๐™š๐™จ ๐™ก๐™ž๐™ ๐™š ๐˜ฝ๐™š๐™ง๐™ง๐™ฎโ€™๐™จ ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™จ๐™จ๐™ž๐™—๐™ก๐™š.

As her body healed, her personality bloomed. The shy dog who arrived with fear in her eyes started showing her goofy, gentle nature. Then came the adopter who changed her life. She had just lost her own dog and chose to take a chance on Berry, even though Berry was timid during their visit.

The update we received brought our entire staff to tears. Berry, now Bunny, spends her days exploring her yard, lounging in the sun, collecting cozy sweaters, learning new tricks, and snuggling into the laps of her new friends. She finally has the peaceful retirement she always deserved.

Pet of the Week: Nico!

Swipe through to see Nico's treat catching skills ๐Ÿ˜‰. We've been waiting to share this guy with you all! At 70 pounds of pure lap puppy, Nico has made such a big impact on all staff here and we're so glad that we can finally show him off. Here's a little bio about how wonderful Nico truly is.

"Nico has spent 594 days in our care and has become one of the most unforgettable dogs to ever walk through our doors. At four years old, he is a loyal, food motivated pup who has learned so much during his time with us. His bark in the kennel can make him seem intimidating to visitors, yet his friends know him as a polite sweetheart who takes treats gently and works hard to show off his solid obedience skills. Volunteers call him goofy, gentle, and unbelievably smart, and everyone agrees that his squishy face is impossible to resist.

He can be wary of new people, especially men, but the progress he has made is remarkable. When he first arrived, he struggled to feel safe around strangers. Now he warms up much faster, especially when cheese balls or cookies are involved. Once he trusts you, Nico reveals the affectionate side that staff and volunteers adore. He enjoys snuggles, quiet time, and showing off how nicely he walks on leash.

Nico thrives outside of the shelter and is ready for a home that understands him. He is independent, eager to learn, and full of character. With patience, kindness, and a steady supply of treats, he will become a devoted companion. He is ready for someone special to finally see the wonderful dog he truly is."

Nico needs a home where he is the only pet (sorry! โ˜น๏ธ)
Adults only due to wariness.

Ever wondered what a day in the life of our shelter dogs looks like? Hereโ€™s a typical day, told from Pumpkinโ€™s perspective.

Every dog in our care gets (at least) 3 walks a day and most go to a controlled doggy playgroup for their morning walk. Normally our dogs are fed after that first outing of the day, but some dogs (like Pumpkin here) get fed three times a day to monitor their eating a bit closer. We are so lucky to have the staff and volunteers available to make this level of care possible. We couldnโ€™t do it without our dedicated team!!

Meet Royce: equal parts goofball and lovebug

Royce went on a little sleepover expawdition this week, and honestly, he could not have been sweeter. This five year old baby deer lookalike spent most of the weekend trying to be as close to his volunteers as physically possible. He curled up against their legs, tucked himself between their knees, leaned in for pets, and even parked himself right on their feet during walks just to feel safe.

But do not be fooled by the cuddle bug vibes. When the toys came out, Royce turned into a full on tug champion. He gave every toy his whole heart, whether he was gnawing on a chew or playing tug like it was his job. He is a smart little guy too, and he absolutely loved the enrichment games they made for him.

Royce does have some anxieties, especially around crates and new people, but he really tries. With lots of reassurance and patience, he actually chose to hang out in the crate on his own by the end of the sleepover. He just needs someone who will help him build up his confidence and show him that the world is a safe place.

He is house trained, great on leash, and rides nicely in the car with a little lift in. He loves his trusted people with his whole heart. Once he knows you, he is all tail wags, soft eyes, and cuddles.

If you are looking for a goofy, loving, sensitive pup to help flourish, Royce might be your guy. He makes every bit of effort worth it.

Royce is a 5-year-old male,
Who loves dog friends (with a dog meet!)
Can't live with cats (doesn't understand their play-style ๐Ÿ˜‚)
and needs a home with high-school aged children (due to wariness around younger children)
