Story

Pepper is truly a gentle soul. She is calm, quiet and loves attention. She is great with other dogs and kids. She is the best dog on a leash. She was definitely abused as she is very cautious around new people but once she feels comfortable with you she just wants to give you a big hugs all the time. She is not food or dog aggressive and she is potty and kennel trained. She is learning to sit and shake with snacks. Pepper is the younger of the two and has clearly always been with Ginger, if they cannot go the the same home Pepper will need a home with at least one other dog to cuddle. Pepper is just under 50 lbs so she can be classified as a Pocket Pit. Pepper was found on the streets in New Mexico with Ginger. They were both taken to a shelter, their owner was contacted but he refused to pay to re-claim fees. A local rescue that was full offered to pay the fees so he could get his dogs back but he refused to contact them. They were in the shelter for over a month before the shelter hit capacity and were about to be put down when The Noah James Foundation stepped in and arranged to have them transported to Denver to be placed in a foster home. There they are happy and thriving. Pepper is heart worm negative, micro-chipped, spayed as of 12/18/19, and up to date on all her shots. She is one half of a bonded pair so a home that can take both girls would be preferred. We will also drop the price to adopt both to $500 total for both girls.

Story

Ginger loves to give kisses and cuddle. She is a talker and loves to tell you how her day was when you get home. She is full of muscles be a little much for other dogs at first. With some work we have successfully taught Ginger how to play well with other dogs and she is getting more playful every day. We believe Pepper is one of Ginger’s puppies from one of her litter’s while she was with her previous owner. Ginger is not food or dog aggressive but is very food excited. She is potty and kennel trained. Right now she is learning to sit and shake with snacks. Ginger is the older of the bonded pair and very people dependent so we believe she could thrive in a home where she is the only dog getting all of the attention and love. She loves to run and would benefit from someone with an active lifestyle that would be able to be active with her, especially if she is the only dog in the house. In the evening she loves to sit next to a human and cuddle. Despite how large Ginger may look in her pictures she is only slightly over 50 lbs so she can be classified as a Pocket Pit. Ginger was found on the streets in New Mexico with Pepper. They were both taken to a shelter, their owner was contacted but he refused to pay to re-claim fees. A local rescue that was full offered to pay the fees so he could get his dogs back but he refused to contact them. They were in the shelter for over a month before the shelter hit capacity and were about to be put down when The Noah James Foundation stepped in and arranged to have them transported to Denver to be placed in a foster home. There they are happy and thriving. Ginger is heart worm negative, micro-chipped, spayed as of 12/19/19, and up to date on all her shots. She is one half of a bonded pair so a home that can take both girls would be preferred. We will also drop the price to adopt both to $500 total for both girls.

Kodi

Black Mouth Cur German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young

Northglenn, CO

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Due to a new job requiring a relocation, I'm no longer able to provide the time or proper space needed to care for Kodi. Kodi is a neutered 2 year old male German Shepard / Black Mouth Cur mix with a playful personality. He loves to play catch, go on hikes and is great with people. Kodi is house-broken and kennel trained, plus knows multiple commands; sit, lay, shake, play dead and stay and is intelligent with the ability to pick up new tricks/commands easily. Best suited for a single dog home with someone who has plenty of time to spend with Kodi. When introducing to new dogs, best to do it in a neutral setting. He has shown aggression towards other dogs when toys are involved and doesn't particularly get along with smaller dogs, would advise to interact only with larger dogs. Kodi is a sweet, young dog that is looking for adventure and love.

Charlie is a young dog of my blue nose pit. He will be two in April He does need a little training he is house trained but is very skittish and scared of people. He’s very loving and affectionate and enjoys cuddling I live in apartments and he barks at all the neighbors he needs more room to run and play and maybe a little treating to not be a skittish and frightened of people. He is extremely loving calm inside and we’re not around Strangers. We’ve had Charlie since he was born and would love to be able to still see him mercy pictures of him and hope he goes to an amazing home.
