Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some cuddly canines up for adoption? There are dozens of endearing dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Aurora.
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.

Gage, chihuahua mix
Gage is a lovable male chihuahua mix being kept at Animal Rescue of the Rockies.
Gage is happy to keep company with other dogs. He's already neutered, he has had all his shots, and he is house-trained.
From Gage's current caretaker:
Take 13 pounds of sweetness, add a snaggle-toothed smile, and they equal Gage. Happiest when lying on someone's lap, this loyal and loving lap dog doesn't move unless absolutely necessary, and then it's to race through the house and wrestle with his doggy foster brother. He also enjoys relaxing in his bed, eagerly anticipating the next snuggle session, and he is well behaved enough to be left alone during the day.

Ralphie, chihuahua and terrier mix
Ralphie is a male chihuahua and terrier mix in the care of Animal Rescue of the Rockies.
He's vaccinated and neutered.
Ralphie's current caretakers say:
With eyes as soft as his coat is sleek, 13-pound Ralphie is shy in new situations, but once his trust is won, so is his heart. In fact, he thrives on closeness and cuddles, and nothing would please him more than sleeping soundly through the night with his head on your shoulder. As active as he is affectionate, he loves to go on long walks and hikes, and when he can't do either, he works off his energy by racing around the back yard.

Louise, mountain dog and greater Swiss mountain dog mix
Louise is a sweet female mountain dog and greater Swiss mountain dog mix currently residing at Animal Rescue of the Rockies.
She's already spayed and vaccinated.
Notes from Louise's caretakers:
Louise is 45 pounds of playfulness and sweetness who thrives on the attention and affection of her foster family. Easygoing and eager to please, she gets along easily with people of all ages and faithfully follows her foster mom through the house just to be near her. Enthralled by toys, she relishes taking them out of the toy box one at a time until the box is empty, and revels in going for walks, walking well on leash (she's reactive towards other dogs and is working with a trainer on her socialization skills).

Baby, pit bull terrier
Baby is a darling female pit bull terrier being kept at Animal Rescue of the Rockies.
She is already spayed, and she has had all her shots.
Baby's current caretakers say:
To say Baby loves giving kisses is an understatement. This social sweetheart thrives on the attention, touch and praise of her foster parents and will do anything for a treat. As she settles into her new surroundings, she's growing calmer and more relaxed each day, and not only does she enjoy going for walks, where she's honing her leash skills, but she also enjoys playing with dogs of all sizes and tug-of-war with people and dogs alike.
