Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some lovable pups? There are loads of great 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.)
Belle, pug and beagle mix
Belle is a winsome female pug and beagle mix currently housed at PawsCo.
Belle is happy to keep company with other dogs, and doesn't mind children. She is already spayed, house-trained and vaccinated. Belle is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.
A bit more on Belle:
Oh hello there, how do you do? My name is Jezebel (Belle for short), and I just love getting to know new folks and making new friends. And, I would just love to find a forever family to call my very own! I am such an easy-going gal — happy, affectionate and really laid-back overall. I like to spend my days roaming around the backyard at my foster home and taking snoozes. I did lose my vision, so I’m not able to see much at all. You know how they say that when someone loses one sense, the others get stronger? Well, my sense of smell is great, but more importantly, my ability to love people is absolutely huge! I truly just want to love and be a part of the family. I also do have diabetes, and need to be on a strict medication routine to ensure that I stay stable and healthy. Do you want to find out how much love I have to give?

Bromley, Saint Bernard
Bromley is a majestic male Saint Bernard dog currently residing at Colorado Saint Bernard Rescue.
Bromley likes to socialize — he loves spending time around other dogs and cats. No need to worry: He is already house-trained, neutered and vaccinated.
Bromley's current caretakers say:
Welcome Bromley! He is a super sweet boy, who despite his occasional balance issues, loves to play with his doggie friends. He also loves snuggles and hanging out with his foster family. He didn’t mind us clipping his nails, and didn’t mind his vet exam. He would do best in a home with few to no stairs (he can get up them, but not down), and a yard — he loves to lay in the grass and roll around!

Khloe, Labrador retriever mix
Khloe is a darling female Labrador retriever mix being kept at Red Fern Animal Rescue.
Khloe would prefer to be placed in a household free of small children. Rest assured: She is already house-trained, spayed, microchipped and has had all her shots.
Notes from Khloe's caretakers:
Khloe is a sweet, lovable girl! She is a young adult pup at about three years old, and has a medium-length coat because of her lab ancestry. Khloe’s breed is known to be a more excitable dog, who needs to get their energy out. She is very playful, and needs to be taken on walks. She will love to have fun with her new family! However, Khloe also loves her down time when she hangs out.

Sasha, boxer
Sasha is a sweet female boxer dog being cared for at HO-BO Care Boxer Rescue.
Sasha is well-behaved around other dogs. HO-BO Care Boxer Rescue, however, thinks she will do best in a home without small children. She has mastered her house-training etiquette, and she's already spayed and vaccinated.
Here's what Sasha has to say for herself:
Hello, friends. My name is Sasha, and I’m very affectionate with my people. I enjoy playing with toys — especially a good game of tug-o-war! I’d love to find a family that will allow me to sleep in bed with them, so I can feel safe and warm. I’m still a little wary of strangers, so a home without too much commotion would be ideal for me. I love cuddling most of all, so as long as I have someone to cuddle with (human or canine), I’ll be a happy girl.

Sookie, boxer
Sookie is an adorable female boxer dog in the care of HO-BO Care Boxer Rescue.
Sookie gets along great with cats. However, she is looking for a dog-free forever home. She is already house-trained, vaccinated and spayed.
Meet Sookie:
Hey there! My name is Sookie, and I’m in search of a forever home! I’m six years old and so well-behaved. I’m smart as a whip — I know all of my commands, I sit patiently before meal time, am a good listener and am very intuitive to my people. I enjoy playing with toys and taking walks, but am best described as a couch potato. I just love to curl up on the couch next to my people for naps, cuddles or a little sun bathing.
