Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some cuddly canines? There are loads of endearing 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.)


Copper, Boston terrier

Copper is a charming female Boston terrier dog currently housed at PawsCo.

Copper is ready to make friends — she gets along swimmingly with cats, dogs and children. Rest assured: She is already spayed, vaccinated and house-trained.

Meet Copper:

I’m the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet. Just ask anyone! I love humans big and small, young and old, and they love me. My senses aren’t what they used to be; well, not my sight and hearing anyway. I am completely blind and very hard of hearing, as well. But, what I lack in vision and hearing, I make up for with the canine superpower — my sense of smell! Plus, my sense of love. I don’t let a lack of sight interfere with treats, walks or even using the doggie door. Once I get the hang of my new home, I’ll roam around independently without problem. I’m a chill kind of lady. I love to snuggle and take long naps in my comfy bed, but if I sense you nearby, I’ll invite you to join me!

Hazel, Australian cattle dog mix

Hazel is a delightful female Australian cattle dog mix being kept at Red Fern Animal Rescue.

Hazel is happy to keep company with other dogs, and doesn't mind children. No need to worry: She is already house-trained, spayed, microchipped and has had all her shots. Hazel is a special-needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.

From Hazel's current caretaker:

Sweet and playful Hazel is deaf, but she is incredibly smart, so she’ll learn hand signals easily! She is shy at first, though very sweet after she warms up. Hazel would love a family to take her on daily walks and engage her in fun activities.
