AZULA

Azula, aka “Dootie,”  is a sweet 3.5-year-old female pittie who believes 55lbs is definitely not too big for a lap dog! She is high energy and needs to have exercise and play time every day, but by evening she is ready to snuggle up and watch a little Netflix before bed. Azula LOVES people, but will need to be in a home where she is the only pet as she does have a high prey drive and is reactive with other dogs. Azula has had formal training (she scored 100% on basic obedience) and has spent her entire life in a loving home. The ideal home would be an active person (or family), no other pets, a fenced yard, and someone who is not a first-time dog owner. Azula is not a Lucky Day dog, please contact Abbie at abbiefk@hotmail.com for more info.

Fiona is a very energetic, playful, and snuggly 15 month old spayed female lab who weighs about 65lbs and is looking for a forever home who will live and cherish her. She is house trained, current on vaccines and heartworm prevention. Fiona would prefer to be an only dog so that she can soak up all the attention from her owners. She walks well on leash, knows basic commands (sit/down), and well behaved on car rides. Fiona does great with children of all ages. 

She was originally found as a stray at about 6 months of age. She had mild separation anxiety that got better over time. She is currently learning not to counter surf and the “drop it” command. She loves baby carrots and ice cubes as treats. 

She will come with a full bag of her dog food. If interested you can reach current owner at 719-966-2543

Thank you for your interest in Fiona.

Grits! - Courtesy post only, not a Lucky Day dog

This is Grits! We got her as a puppy from a dog rescue organization in Durango and we think she is part Anatolian Shepherd, part red heeler but don't know for sure. She is 6 years old and 52 pounds.  She has a lot of personality!  She is an absolute lover with humans and with a few dogs who she has known since a puppy.  She loves to be outside and is her calmest, happiest self when she's running free in the mountains.  However, she is also content to sleep all day.  She likes daily walks but can also rally for bike rides, skis, backpack trips and loves to go camping!  She does great in the snow.  She is a really well-trained dog (obeys commands, has great recall and heals, is house trained) and does well both on and off leash. She does well with other dogs when meeting them briefly on the trail, but her ideal home would be as a single pet and at a home that is ideally out of town or is quieter as she gets nervous around traffic and loud trucks! She's never lived with cats but it is doubtful she would get along with a cat and she should not be housed with another dog. 

Grits is a sweetheart with humans. Anytime a friend pops by to visit, she wiggles her tail and makes cute whimpering noises until they pet her sufficiently. It is too darn cute!  She would make the right person or family a really great companion!  Currently in Durango. She is not a Lucky Day dog, please contact Ashley on 303-775-8054 or ashleycarruth@gmail.com for details

Alex is a 7-9 year old Male Mix.

He is a handsome boy! He loves his walks or playing fetch with a tennis ball. 
He is currently in a foster home with 3 other dogs, a husband and wife. and loves to hang out and play with them or curl up next to his foster mom for cuddles on the couch. 

He is a flexible boy....he does not need a home with another dog....or if you do have one he will love a fur brother or sister. 

Alex is looking for a home that will take him on walks or hikes. He is up for an adventure. 


At night he does sleep soundly in his crate.


Alex would prefer to have someone that works from home so he feels safe and secure throughout the day.  He will come and lay right at your feet while you work.

He would do best in a home that will continue with training, consistency and structure that are all important. GRFR will work with the adopter and will pay for his training

Currently he is on CBD oil because he is a bit nervous. He gets nervous with men so slow introductions are important- having a treat handy will help Alex learn men are ok.  Continued training is important to help him with building his confidence.

Sweet Colt needs our help!
Courtesy Post only, not a Lucky Day dog, please contact katiebeckley22@gmail.com for details!

Colt is in need of a local CO foster or furever home.  Do you have room for this sweet, happy guy?

His TX foster family says, “He gives the very best hugs! He’s an incredibly sweet, dog and people friendly, house trained loving 4 year old. Colt loves nothing more than affection and rubs, car rides, and being with others. He loves walks, play time with dogs and humans and his very favorite are snuggles with his humans! He’s a big boy 55 lbs but a lap dog at heart! He is affectionate, calm, and quiet particularly when everyone is hanging out together. He is non reactive to both people and other animals. He walks well on a leash without pulling and loves the sunshine! He is learning not to jump and is such a sweet boy! His lab mix side eats much too fast and will come with chew toys, a durable bed and a slow feeder for success!
He is a great affectionate sweet pet and we are so excited for him to get a great loving, Colorado home! We are praying someone opens their hearts and can’t wait to see pictures of him smiling with his family in the beautiful rocky mountains!

Pete is a handsome character who has been with us in foster care for about a year and a half.  We were lucky enough to save him within hours of euthanasia at an animal control facility on the Navajo Nation.  He's a cattle dog mix who is about two years old and weighs 35 lbs.  He is fully vetted and up to date on his vaccinations.  He's a loyal, devoted companion who really loves his people.  He loves to go for car rides, walks, and really loves to play.  He's fully crate trained and sleeps quietly in his crate through the night.  He's goofy and eager to please, and has come a really long way since his arrival with us!

Pete learned some behaviors on the reservation that don't serve him well now and his rescue journey has been about relearning how to behave around other dogs and when he's in a new environment.  He can be reactive with some dogs and other dogs he'll be best buddies with.  He does really well with playful, submissive dogs who don't want to be in charge, because that's what he likes to be.  He listens well when we correct him and spent 2 weeks at a board and train facility last summer where he learned new commands and social skills.  He walks really well on leash but does like to chase cars, so a gentle leader or a no-pull harness has worked the best for us.  He does like to chase cats if they run from him but leaves them alone when given the "leave it" command, and if they are relaxed around him.  He is really full of personality and is affectionate and fun to have around!  He is happy with the simple things in life and gets so excited at meal times and when he is being petted and loved on by his people.  He loves playing with toys and tennis balls and is happy just to be with people.  He doesn't need a lot and would be totally happy in home where he stayed in his crate while his people were at work and got to play in the yard at the end of the day.  He would also be super happy on a ranch or farm where he could ride around with his person on farm machinery and do his cattle dog thing.  He does need a fenced in yard.

Please feel free to edit this however you'd like!  I never know if I say too many negatives or am just being honest.  

If someone is interested in learning more about him they can call me at 970-749-1968 or visit our website at www.durangoanimalconnection.com

A very special dog looking for his new person. He is a healthy, well adjusted, neutered, vaccinated 42 pound amazing companion. Choco has a happy, playful spirit, socialized to people and other dogs and at least one cat who he lived with for 2 years. He is an excellent exercise buddy and can keep up on all the adventures you want to do. Great off leash with nice recall (once bonded of course). His current owner feels he would be happiest in a home where he could join others in the household on walks, runs and even bike rides.

Courtesy post for Shiloh!

Hey, I am looking for a foster home with lots of room to roam/romp and play.  Would you like to consider fostering me or better yet ADOPT me! Contact eaplevergreen@eapl.com Hi, my name is Shiloh. 14 mo and 93 pounds!  I am a sweet goofy-boy looking for a forever home. I love to be close to you and follow you around the house (after all you need my assistance, don't you?)  I love my dog friends and would love to have a dog friend to call my own,  I might prefer a female.   My foster home tells me that not everyone wants kisses from me (BUT I have sooooooooooooo many to share!). My foster says I am just a happy boy who thinks everyone loves me (they do, I know they do --- LOOK at me!) I am crate and, house trained. My favorite command is "come" because I get all the love and attention as soon as I show up to greet you. I just want a forever home where I can grow and have my own family!  Will you be my new home? My adoption fee is $375  Put in an application at eapl.com

Samson is a 3 year old lab mix who hitched a ride from Iowa after the holidays to find his forever home. His family is going through a divorce and he just wasn't getting the love and attention he deserved. 

He is a big, very sweet boy, weighing in at just under 100 pounds with a snoot that is higher than your average countertop and puppy energy to spare. Neutered and up to date on vaccinations. He is house trained, crate trained-ish (will occasionally whine at first, but sleeps in there all night with no issues), and knows basic commands but is still working on his impulse control. He loves walks and does pretty well on a leash...rabbits and squirrels seem to get him most excited, but he responds to treats and positive reinforcement. His recall skills are quite impressive and he checks in often with you; we think he'd be an excellent hiking partner! He is good with other dogs and would probably do best in a home with another canine companion, but does like to play hard and sometimes doesn't know his own size. He gets along with dog savvy cats, too.

His previous home had young kiddos and he did fine, but he's big and needs regular exercise. A big, fenced in yard and an active home is a must. 

He LOVES snuggling and attention, content to lounge with you and chomp a bone after a day of adventuring. If you're looking for part dog/part baby deer with ears that can't decide which way to go, Samson might be the fella for you. 

We are asking a rehoming fee of $100 to ensure he goes to a good home, but we will be sending him with a new crate as well as food and bowls, a leash, toys, and a bed.
