Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some precious pups in need of homes? There are heaps of darling dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Denver.
Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.
(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)

Sasha, Labrador retriever and pit bull terrier mix
Sasha is a vivacious female Labrador retriever and pit bull terrier mix being cared for at Planet Pet.
Sasha plays well with others — she gets along great with kids, dogs or cats. She'd prefer to be placed in a household where she isn't spending large periods of time alone. Rest assured: She's already spayed, vaccinated and house-trained.
From Sasha's current caretaker:
Sasha is a very lovable lady who likes to play tug-a-war. She will play catch, if you can manage to get the ball back. She also enjoys walks, running, hiking or any kind of active activity. All in all, this wonderful dog will make the perfect companion for any family that has a completely fenced-in yard with a minimum six-foot fence. She is ready for her forever home.

Max, mastiff mix
Max is an endearing male mastiff mix being kept at Red Fern Animal Rescue.
Max loves other dogs, but is looking for cat-free household. He's already house-trained, neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Max is a special-needs pet, so please inquire about his specific care requirements.
About Max:
Max is an actual angel, complete with his halo! While it doesn’t stop him, Max is partially blind and has to wear his halo to help him get around. He gets around quite well, and can do almost everything a dog with eyes can. During the day, Max can even see shadows! He loves to go on walks and loves to play, but he is also down to hang out and chill with his people. He is a very submissive pup and such a sweet guy.

Maverick is patient, and plays well with kids. Good news: He is already house-trained, crate-trained, neutered and vaccinated.
A bit more on Maverick:
Maverick is a strong husky who recently had his tail surgically removed. He is very adaptable without his tail, and is very bright. The lack of a tail hasn’t slowed this dog down one bit. He is smaller than the average husky, but still is a big boy!
