Interested in adopting a pet — or just gazing at some lovable pups up for adoption? There are dozens of deserving dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Colorado Springs.

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.)


Newt, chihuahua and miniature pinscher mix

Newt is a female chihuahua and miniature pinscher mix currently residing at All Breed Rescue & Training.

Newt loves cats and dogs. All Breed Rescue & Training, however, thinks she will do best in a home without small children. She's already house-trained, spayed and vaccinated.

More about Newt:

I will attach myself to you and never want to leave your side. I will follow you around wherever you go, and I am always ready to cuddle. Someone retired or who works from home would be ideal.
