Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some cuddly canines? There are dozens of darling 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.)


Jager, Labrador retriever and German shepherd mix

Jager is a lovable male Labrador retriever and German shepherd mix currently residing at MaxFund No-Kill Animal Shelter.

Jager gets along great with other dogs, and doesn't mind children. However, he is looking for cat-free family. No need to worry: He is already neutered, vaccinated and house-trained. Jager is a special needs pet, so please inquire about his specific care requirements.

About Jager:

Have you ever seen a more handsome boy? I mean, look at that face! And, I have the sweetest personality to go along with it! My name is Jager, and I am an eight-year-old Lab and German Shepherd mix male. I have a beautiful black coat and the cutest, graying face there is! I am a large boy, weighing about 76 pounds. I am on the hunt for a forever home! I am a super-sweet love bug who listens very well. Could I be a perfect fit for you?

Molly, Australian cattle dog mix

Molly is a sweet female Australian cattle dog mix in the care of MaxFund No-Kill Animal Shelter.

Molly loves being around people, and would be well-suited for a family with children. No other pets please: She is looking for home without other dogs or cats. Her vaccinations are already up to date, she's spayed and she has mastered her house-training etiquette.

Here's what Molly has to say for herself:

Fun fact: Molly means star of the sea, and this Molly here will soon mean star of your life! If you like the sound of that, let me tell you more about myself — you will definitely love what you hear! I am an adorable, 11-year-old Australian cattle dog. I love attention, and I always want to be a part of the party because of how sweet I am. I can be a tad shy at first, but I love meeting new people. I love to sunbathe, so if you have a backyard or a sunny area in the home to get this coat looking great for the summer, give me your address and I am home!

Nemo, boxer and American bulldog mix

Nemo is a winsome male boxer and American bulldog mix being kept at HO-BO Care Boxer Rescue.

Meet Nemo:

I am a three-year-old black and white male American bulldog and boxer mix. I am the sweetest boy you will ever meet! I am great with other dogs big and small, and I love every person I meet. I am what humans call a gentle giant.

Mila, boxer

Mila is an endearing female boxer dog in the care of HO-BO Care Boxer Rescue.

Mila gets along well with other dogs. Fear not: She's already house-trained, vaccinated and spayed.

A bit more on Mila:

Hi folks! My name is Mila, and I'd like to formally introduce myself. See, I'm a little nervous around new people, so a proper introduction is very important to me. But, once you and I are buddies, I want to be around you all the time! I'll lean right into you to get my pets, and I'm very gentle, playful and loving. I'm looking for a family that is willing to accept that I still have some insecurities, and will work with me to overcome them. Underneath my fears and insecurities, I am a happy and wiggly boxer girl. I love to play ball and zoom around the backyard. I love sleeping in bed, and waking up next to someone that loves me as much as I love them. I love to love, and can't wait to find a human pal that can see the potential in me.

Opal, boxer

Opal is a charming female boxer dog being kept at HO-BO Care Boxer Rescue.

Opal would prefer to be placed in a forever home without children or cats. No need for concern: She is already house-trained, spayed and vaccinated.

Get to know Opal:

Hey there, my name is Opal and I am two years old. Because I was found out wandering around on my own one day, the nice people that saved me do not know much about my past. With that being said, I am extremely sweet and very loyal to those I know. I think I need a quiet family I know I can trust, and that will slowly help me gain my confidence around other people. I am a very smart girl, so I do know my basic commands and will be really eager to learn more from my new family! I’ve also heard people describe me with words like beautiful and gorgeous. I can neither confirm nor deny this, so you’ll just have to take another look and see if you agree!
