Interested in adopting a pet — or just gazing at some delightful pooches? 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.)

Meet Oakie:
Howdy, everyone! My name is Oakie, and I am a very handsome, friendly, one-year-old bluetick coonhound boy. I am a large-sized guy, weighing about 67 pounds. I am so excited to be in Colorado and explore this beautiful state with you. I absolutely love people! One of my favorite things to do is sniff everywhere, which is not surprising, since I am a hound. Hounds are so great, because they are affectionate and loyal dogs! I would make a great addition to an active family.

Hi, how are you? My name is Mutu, and I am a sweet and petite six-year-old Labrador mix. I have a gorgeous, golden coat and big, brown eyes that make me super adorable. I am so excited to start my new life here with you in Colorado! I may be on the older side, but I don't act like it. I am mellow most of the time, but I'm also excitable and can be very playful. I love to run around and chase balls — I am a lot of fun in a little package! I am a friendly girl with a sweet disposition.
