🐾Roxie🐾6 year old, spayed female GSP, 40 lbs, currently being fostered in the Denver area.

LOOKING FOR A FOREVER HOME IN 📍COLORADO📍 (or within 3 hours' drive from Denver if you live in a neighboring state)

ABOUT ME:

Hi everyone! I’m Roxie, a 6-year-old GSP, very affectionate and sweet, a true Velcro dog. I am a pointy pocket rocket at 40lbs, and being a very energetic dog, I need lots of exercise every day. I can get some of that exercise in large, fenced yard, but I need a lot more off leash running than that. I have great recall off leash and love going hiking or running in a big dog park like Westminster, Chatfield or Cherry Creek. I need consistent training, especially walking on leash as I can pull a little. I LOVE to play fetch as I am ball obsessed!

If I get a good amount of running exercise, I will be a calm and enjoy a good snooze at home. I just really need to get rid of all my energy so I can enjoy the affection and love on which I thrive. I am crate trained and house broken. I do not get on the furniture but I’m sure I could be convinced to snuggle on the couch with you!

I can be a little shy a first and nervous around loud noises (vacuum, lawn mower, loud trucks, etc.) I get along well with other dogs and would love a canine buddy in my new home. I have never shown any aggression towards a dog or human. Although I love my canine friends, I am not suited to living with cats as I have a very strong prey drive towards birds and small animals. I am great with older children but probably too energetic and strong for young kids, as I wouldn't want to topple anyone over.

I am a very affectionate, sweet and loving girl so time with my people is very important to me. My fosters say I am "the perfect combination of energizer bunny and snuggle bug.” I hope my new family is patient and can give me the consistent training, daily running exercise and love that I yearn for, and make me an important part of their life.

🐾Adoptable Jinx 🐾
3.5 yr old neutered male GSP
LOOKING FOR A FOSTER/FOSTER TO ADOPT OR FOREVER FAMILY IN
📍COLORADO📍

Always wanted to snuggle up with a Shetland pony on your couch, but couldn't deal with their sassiness? Jinx might be perfect for you! He is a hunk of a boy at 80lbs, but he is a sweetheart and gentle giant.

Poor Jinx was rescued from a terrible situation in Utah, he was being attacked incessantly by another male in the household (NB: he is a gentle soul, he was not the instigator and never retaliated) leaving him bleeding and terrified. His owner did not have the resources to help him, so with the help of amazing volunteers, we rescued him and had him vetted and neutered.

Jinx is being fostered in Colorado by a fantastic family who is besotted with him, but their work and travel schedule is changing at the start of June, so Jinx needs to find his forever family or be placed in a new foster home.

ABOUT ME:

I am a lovebug; a really gentle soul who will be loyal and loving companion. I am an all-round good boy with no vices, and I think I am the perfect age for civilized society since I am out the other side of my puppyhood and teenage years.

My foster parents have taught me the commands “come, here, sit, stay, down, off, wait, no, away". I am a star student (if I do say so myself) and am food motivated. I have already lost 10lbs in my foster home and will need my new family to manage my food and exercise so I can work on having a health waistline.

I’m pretty good on leashed walks but I love to snoop and explore so I can get a bit distracted and might forget that I am the size of a small pony! You can see the scars from other dogs attacking me around my eyes and ears, and you can see the emotional scars when big dogs approach me as I tend to freeze. My foster parents have been using positive reinforcement and high value treats to help me be brave, and it is important that my new family is gentle and can understand how to help me build confidence. I enjoy hikes and would love a family who can help me work on my recall so I can enjoy running off leash.

I love watching birds and squirrels all day in the sun. I don’t jump fences, but I supervise everyone going and occasionally saying "hi" with my best voice. I can safely be left for a couple of hours with free roam in the house, I will chill out on my bed or sunbathe on the porch. I enjoy having chew toys and although I might shred my own toys, I know shoes are off limits! I am an opportunist when it comes to counter surfing, so best to keep human treats out of my reach.

My absolute favorite hobby is snuggling on the couch with my family; I really LOVE quality time with my humans. In the evenings, I’ll take myself off to sleep in the dog bed or doggy blanket pile at the foot of the bed.

I am looking for a family who can give me love and attention and wants me to be a core part of their lives. I need daily exercise including regular off leash hikes, a fenced yard for sunbathing and wildlife patrols, and I might enjoy a canine companion, provided that they are smaller well-adjusted female.

❌No cats please!

🐾ADOPTABLE WINSTON🐾 Needs foster or forever home!

Winston's wonderful foster family has a very busy summer coming up so we urgently need to find Winston a new foster or forever home in Colorado. He has been in a foster home for nearly 12 months and really deserves to have his own family.

❤️Winston is a sweet 3-yr-old male GSP mix. Our best guess is an adorable combination of GSP and Bluetick Coonhound.❤️

Being GSP-lite, Winston has a lot of the great qualities of a GSP, without the vigorous exercise requirements! He is loyal, easy going, and loves having a human around to keep him company. He only needs a couple of 30–45 minute walks a day to stay happy and healthy. Whilst he loves a gentle trot alongside his family, he might not be the best choice for a seasoned marathon runner! He loves fetching a ball in the yard, walks nicely on a leash, and has great recall.

Winston bonds closely with his family, BUT he does find the noises and excitement of small humans a bit confusing, so he needs to be placed in a patient, adult-only home. He is fully house trained, knows basic commands and is very trainable and eager to learn new things. He does not need to sleep in a crate, but he likes to use it as a safe space if things get hectic around him.

Submissive dogs are Winston's preferred playmates. He will typically ignore a more dominant dog. He has not been exposed to cats, but given his demeanor, we think he would adapt to kitties. He is not a fan of car rides so he would be better suited to home where he can go out on hikes/walks without driving too much. He would love a fenced yard for ball games and playing with other family dogs.

Adoption fee: $350

He is going to be such a wonderful loyal companion for his new family!

Fostering saves lives:
We are always looking for foster homes so we can save wonderful GSPs from terrible situations where their welfare, or even their life, may be at risk. There is a constant stream of great dogs in desperate need who need rescue, but we cannot help them without foster families. We cover expenses such as food and vet fees.

Please text 720-373-7274 if you can help by being a foster for Winston.

If you can't foster or adopt Winston, PLEASE SHARE HIS POSTS to help this sweet boy find a great home.

Bane has an adoption pending!

❤️Mile High GSP transport volunteers rock!❤️

Yesterday, superstars Jim Carroll and father-daughter duo Bradley Bryant and Courtney Messman each drove a leg of Bane's journey from Fort Worth,TX to Denver, CO.

Thanks to all 3 of them and Ronny (who looked after Bane in his home in Texas for many months), Bane began his new life in Colorado last night. Bane was a gentleman with everyone he met along the way, so watch this space for his bio once he is settled in with his foster mama!

Zoe and Sanza have been adopted by their foster families!

UPDATE 4/11/26:

PETSITTER/FOSTER SECURED
❤️THANK YOU! ❤️

Our pleas for a special foster/ petsitter came at the eleventh hour and we were really worried that we might be out of options. How wrong we were!

So many of you shared the post and sent it to friends, family and neighbors in your networks and we had several fantastic people step forward offering to help care for Zoe and Sanza. Tonight these sisters are safely installed with a wonderful family who love GSPs, and their foster family can pack their bags for their trip tomorrow instead of cancelling their vacation!

Our rescue community is absolutely fantastic and we are truly humbled by your willingness to help these 2 sweet girls.

URGENT: We have an 🚨emergency🚨 for these two pups and need your help finding a petsitter/ foster for April 12-29.

This gorgeous pair of female purebred GSP sisters, Zoe ( black & white), and Sanza (liver & white), are about 10 months old.

Their wonderful foster family is headed out on vacation for 3 weeks this Sunday April 12th until Wednesday April 29th.

We had a perfect temporary foster family lined up to cover this trip. Unfortunately, Sanza tested positive for ringworm TODAY and the temporary foster family now cannot host them due to their other pets. Ringworm can be contagious to pets and other people, so precautions have to be taken to reduce the risk of it spreading. We cannot send them to a boarding facility, and we think it is best to quarantine Zoe in case she develops ringworm too

We are desperately looking for your help, please send this post to any friends, neighbors and dog lovers who might be able to care for these 2 beautiful girls!

The unicorn emergency foster home/petsitter we are looking for has:

❌No other dogs or cats
✅LOVES DOGS!
✅A yard with 6 ft fence where they can play (they are both athletic so a smaller fence might not be safe)
✅ Someone able to apply topical anti-fungal treatment to Sanza, possibly giving her a medicated bath if required
✅ Ability to restrict dogs from beds and couches, ideally keeping the dogs in an easily disinfected room (tile or vinyl floors would be perfect)
✅Willingness to do daily vacuuming, twice weekly washing of blankets and towels being used by dogs, and to wear gloves & apron when handling Sanza
✅Ability to take Sanza to one vet appointment in either Highlands Ranch or Parker
✅Ability to take both dogs on daily leashed walks/runs in quieter areas where they are less likely to meet other dogs.

They are sweet, playful pups who are eager to learn and love people. They are housetrained and will soon be looking for their forever homes.

We know this is a HUGE ask of anyone at extremely short notice. We will cover their food, medication and any cleaning supplies that are needed, as well as paying a daily rate for having these pups in your home for 17 days.

If we can find a trusted petsitter who would be willing to care for them at their current foster's house (near Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood, CO) for the whole period, the rescue could pay for that.

PLEASE TEXT/CALL (720) 373-7274 IF YOU CAN HELP

‼️TO DONATE‼️

This is a very challenging emergency and substantial unexpected expense for the rescue to cover for both these girls. If you would like to support Sanza's recovery and help us with petsitting costs for both girls, we would be so grateful!
