Gus Gus 😊 Gus is a 2 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier who will melt you with his smile 😊 and his big heart of gold. He did great with the kiddos who came to visit last month, gentle and curious 🥹 Please come meet this guy and see what a great doggo he is ❤️ If you can't, please share this post and let's find Gus his human!

This beautiful staffie is an awesome guy, he just wants the love! He is gentle with all the people he has met (young and old), and repsonds so well to affection, love, and treats 🐾🐕 He has a HUGE heart, and truly just wants love...
..and he has some structure he will need in a home to keep him thriving 👍

🐾 Gus is a doggo who needs to be your one and only, his prey drive is too high for him to be around ANY other animals. No dog parks or off leash hikes for this guy, he was not socialized that way, and for his safety and others... he will need an adopter who knows this and loves him enough to give him the structure he needs.

🐾 He has some mission impossible 🥷 skills up his sleeve, lol. This boy was an acrobat in another life (or possibly aTeradactyl, lol) and showed up in this one as a Stafforshire Bull Terrier, lol 😉

We want to find him someone who knows what he needs to keep him safe and thriving, and loves this awesome guy so much that it's just all part of the awesome Gus package ❤️

His adoption fee is half off right now 👍 Adoption fees include spay/neuter, microchip, and up to date vaccines. We are located at 2825 Sherman Ave in Monte Vista (behind Alpine Vet). Our hours are Tues-Fri 11-4 pm and Sat-Sun from 1-5 pm 🐾 You can also reach us at (719) 852-3366.

❤️ Adoption Update ❤️

After 236 days of waiting for a home, Noah is home and running free ❤️🥹🙌

Here's what his adopter had to say: "Noah, now Chance, is living his best life! Chance finally learned how to go up the stairs. He's learned the words enough, move it, get in the back, come on, and let's go. He's really smart and a fast learner. He's also learned wait, and to stay within the yard, even if there isn't a boundary!"

Way to go, Chance! Keep running and learning 😊 We are all sooooooo happy you have a loving home ❤️

Beautiful eyes and a great, big heart...meet 2 year old Penny 🩷 Penny came to us in mid July, and it's taken about a month for her to warm up, feel comfortable, and start to show her true, beautiful self. She will need the same from her adopter... a patient and kind person who is willing to come visit her a few times to help build that trust ❤️ She is just a scared love bug, but once she trusts you... wow 😍...she just loves and loves on you, with kisses and kisses. The affection she gives after she has seen that she can trust you is so beautiful.

Penny is also a ball full of energy 😊 The grin that she gets on her face when she is able to just run free in our playard will just melt your heart. We are not 100% sure she's dog friendly. She hasn't had a problem with us walking the puppies in front of her kennel but we haven't done meet and greets with any of our doggos yet. Just letting her get acclimated and feel more secure first 👍

What else can we tell you about Ms. Penny?! She is pretty close to potty trained, you won't be starting from scratch 👍We have also learned she is not a fan of water. Penny is a 2 year old pittie mix who just wants someone to cuddle up with, a blanket, and lots of love. She is a gentle sweetheart 🩷 Her heart and her trust are precious.

Come meet this sweetheart and introduce yourself 😊 Her adoption fee is half off through Sept 10th with our event 🙌
📍 We are located at 2825 Sherman Ave in Monte Vista
⏰️ Our hours are Tues-Fri 11-4 pm and Sat-Sun from 1-5 pm

When it's hot outside and a cool, quick mist feels soooooooo good 😆❤️ This boy is awesome and we want to find him a great home 😊

Wick is great with meeting new people, walks well on a leash, and just has a gentle nature. His eyes and heart are amazing and he is going to be someone's good buddy and what a lucky human that will be ❤️ Wick is a gem, all heart and loyalty. We have all fallen in love with this boy, and are rooting for him to find a great family! His adoption fee is half off right now with our event 🙌🐾

We think Wick might have been a working dog before he came to us. He circles the perimeter of the play yard, uninterested in toys (but loves to get pets and scratches 🥹), and likes to stay right by your leg if you are walking with him 🤎🐾 This guy is a special guy, checks in with you and is in tune with you, and just has all this HEART. And we got to see his zoomies, and they are AWESOME 😁

Wick is around 5 years young. This big guy (roughly between 60-65 lbs) would love a little room to stretch his legs and smell the grass 😊 He has NOT been happy about meeting other dogs so far, so we are going to say he needs to be your one and only animal in the home ❤️ It's a tough thing to say, we can only judge it based on what we see in kennel behavior which doesn't always tell the full story. But, we think it is what he needs 👌After he settles into a home and routine and shakes off the kennel, he could feel differently or he may not. His heart is so big and he's such a gooooood dog, your heart will be full with just him too ❤️

We thought Wick was a Pyrenees/Lab mix when he first came in, but now we are thinking he is an Akbash. Whatever his DNA is, we know this baby boy is a an awesome guy to have near 💙 Wick was found in an area where dogs are sometimes dumped... we cannot change what brought him here to us, but this boy deserves wayyyyyyy better than this 💔

Come meet him. He's beautiful, inside and out.

Adoption fees include spay/neuter, microchip, and up to date vaccines. We are located at 2825 Sherman Ave in Monte Vista. Our hours are Tues-Fri 11-4 pm and Sat-Sun from 1-5 pm. You can also reach us at (719) 852-3366.

Precious & Rocko 🩷💙
This older married couple keep us smiling with their games, antics, and personalities! They need a loving home with a fenced yard, an adopter who loves GSD fur 😁 and rooooom to play! They have been waiting 136 days 💔 and we would love to find them a home where they can play and thrive! Their adoption fees are half off thru Sept 10th with our campaign 🙌

These big ol' bears are secretly hockey players under cover 🏒 Bowls and balls turn into championship games ☺️🏆 Precious is 8 and Rocko is 10, but they do not act 8 and 10 😆 They are both active, wiggly, happy, curious, and playful! They loooooove to play and ham it up! They love everyone... dogs, people, and kids... and each other 😊

This dynamic duo will need a secure fenced yard (they like to wander when they get bored) and would love a home with lots of love, affection, and play time! Precious loves to dig if she gets the chance, and Rocko loves to collect all the balls into a pile and keep them away from Precious 😁❤️ They are awesome doggos and they are buds ❤️ They need to be adopted together, their bond is too strong to separate them. We know there is a GSD lover out there who would give a great life to these two pups ❤️ Please share this post and help us find that human!

Want to meet these awesome goobers?! 😊Please come by! Adoption fees include spay/neuter, microchip, and up to date vaccines. We are located at 2825 Sherman Ave in Monte Vista. Our hours are Tues-Fri 11-4 pm and Sat-Sun from 1-5 pm 🐾 You can also reach us at (719) 852-3366.

Update: Joker was adopted!!
Happy 5 month birthday today Joker! Joker is the last little dude left from his litter 🐾 He is such an awesome dog, we think there is someone special out there for him 😊

Joker is a sweetheart and a cuddler! When we say sweetheart, we mean SWEETHEART 💕This 5 month old baby boy is in tune with what's going on around him and so friendly with dogs and people. He is up for playing (his whole face lights up 🥹) but he is also an observant little guy, could be something he grows into more after he gets thru the puppy phase 💕

Joker is just a lovebug ❤️ He makes the saddest bath face 😆 and has done well in the car for us 🚗 He keeps you smiling with that growing, wiry, stumbling body of his... he's just a beautiful, happy, young guy and we want to find him a great family who loves him 😊 His breed mix is Pyrenees/Akbash and we expect him to be 60-70+ lbs full grown.

Want to fall in love with the cutest q-tip? Come meet Joker!

When you love your bath, but maybe also hate your bath...it's just easy to take it out on the towel 😆 Desmond got cleaned up and lived to tell about it 😊

This scruffy giant of a doggo is allll love and happiness 😊 Desmond is 3 years old, and we think he does some body building in his spare time 💪 He made it to the vet to get neutered, and weighed in at 82 lbs! We have gone thru different guesses with his breed mix, leaning toward a large poodle mix now after talking with the vet. Maybe a Newfypoo? Or an Irish Woolfadoodle? Whatever our mystery man is, he is intelligent, happy, curious, friendly, and LOVES to play ❤️😊

Desmond seems like he could potentially be dog friendly 🐾 We think the stress of the shelter is masking that he actually likes other dogs. Let's feel it out with a meet and greet if you have any other doggos and see how they do 👍We would love to get him out of a kennel and with a good human who has room for him to run, so he can shake off the feeling of being caged in. Because of his large size, older children in the home would be better than little ones.

Desmond is such a happy, big guy but a yard will do him better than walks will 👍 This strong ol' guy views a leash like it's time to run out the gate 😆 and will need an experienced and strong 💪 adopter to get him back and forth to the vet or any outings that require a leash 👍 We have noticed he is food protective, we would recommend him being fed separately from any other doggos you have until they adjust 🐾

He is a happy guy (so happy, he just wants to play!), playful and intelligent and HIS SMILE IS AWESOME ❤️ Come meet this great boy today 😊 Our hours are Tues-Fri 11-4 pm and Sat-Sun from 1-5 pm. We are located at 2825 Sherman Ave in Monte Vista (behind Alpine Vet), and you can also reach us at (719) 852-3366 🐾
