1. Gidget

Young (8 months) · Female · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from Alma

Perfect Home Needed for this sweet little girl!

At just 9 months old, Gidget has already had quite the journey. She found herself on death row in an overcrowded Alabama shelter. She was scared, sweet, and running out of time. Rescue partners saw something special in her and saved her life, even though they didn't have room for one more dog.

And we're so glad they did. But here's the part that breaks our hearts a little. In rescue in Alabama, Gidget didn't have a single adopter interested in her.

Enter EAPL. We brought her here to Colorado because we KNEW we could find this angel a perfect home. That's where you come in.

Read more about Gidget

Gidget is a 35-pound, mahogany-colored beauty with a gentle soul and a funny little secret: She thinks she's a lap dog. All 35 pounds of her. Personal space? Never heard of it.

She's affectionate, loves walks, happily accepts grooming and treats, and gets excited about meeting new people and dogs. She's also a playful puppy who believes squeaky toys are one of life's greatest inventions.

Gidget is still learning what it means to live inside a home. She's working on her house manners and needs someone patient enough to teach her. In return, she'll bring plenty of love, laughter, and probably a squeaky toy or twelve.

Could Gidget be your girl?

Her dream home would have an active, loving family, a fenced yard, plenty of attention, and maybe a canine sibling or two. Cats are still a mystery, but we can test her! She's spayed, vaccinated, and ready for her next chapter.

Gidget's life was saved in Alabama. Now she needs someone to give her a life worth living.

Apply to adopt Gidget at EAPL.com. Her adoption fee is $375

Read more about Ky

Ky is an energetic 3-5 year old miniature schnauzer who loves running around the yard, playing with toys, and is very food motivated. He’s seeking a new home as his current canine sibling and him are not a perfect match.

Things Ky needs:

An only dog home OR a home with an easygoing dog who does not get jealous. Ky is very territorial of his people in true mini schnauzer fashion.

A patient parent (preferably one who has mini schnauzer experience) who can handle my big expressions and backtalk.

A family with no kids or kids above the age of 10.

Things that would make Ky happy:

A yard to run off his energy

An active walker parent

A parent who is home often

Things important for you to know before reaching out about adopting Ky:

He is very vocal. The drive-through is a no for him. People walking on the other side of the street is also a challenge. He likes his personal space when not in his home. A single family home would be ideal due to his likelihood to alert.

What you get:

A perfect little man that likes to cuddle.

A great dance partner.

The best alarm system you will ever invest in.

Up to date on all vaccines, recently his teeth were cleaned, including some extractions, so he’s in tip-top shape. He does still spray although he’s neutered, so close attention on him is needed to help with accidents.

A rehoming fee of $100 will be collected and food, toys, and a collar will be provided for you!

3. Jean

Puppy (8 months) · Female · American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from Alma

Looking for a sweet little energetic love bug? Meet Jean.

She’s 8½ months old, a Staffy mix, and built low to the ground with a big personality on top. Those short legs are deceiving. When the zoomies hit, she’s gone, and all you can do is get out of the way and enjoy the show.

Jean loves to play! She’ll race laps around the yard, wrestle with her dog friends, or just do something goofy for the pure joy of it. She’s always up for whatever comes next.

She’s also crate trained and sleeps through the night. Potty training is still a work in progress, but she’s making real progress every day.

Read more about Jean

Jean needs people who can match her energy, give her plenty of room to burn it off, and love her up when the running is done. She gets along great with other dogs, so a furry sibling could be a bonus.

If you want a dog who will make you laugh every single day, Jean might be the one.

Short legs. Big zoomies. Endless love.

Ready to meet her? Head to EAPL.com to start your application today. Jean's adoption fee is $375.

4. Winter

Puppy (5 months 16 days) · Female · Labrador Retriever / Hound / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from Alma

Looking for a little mischief, a lot of cuddles, and a tiny shadow? Winter could be your girl.

Winter—also known as Winnie or, in honor of spooky season, Winafred—has a BIG personality in a petite package. A gorgeous 5 month old Lab/Hound mix with sleepy hound-like eyes and little splashes of white on her face and paws, she’s already mastered the art of looking innocent.

This spunky girl loves following her humans around, investigating every toy, and romping with her bigger foster brothers. She’s fearless at playtime, but afterward? Your lap is her favorite place to recharge.

Could Winter fit your life?

Read more about Winter

You enjoy a playful dog who also loves to snuggle.

You’re ready to keep building her skills with treats, praise, and consistency.

You can help her practice settling when she can’t be right beside you.

Winter sleeps quietly in her crate at night. During the day, she may voice a few objections before settling if her people are home. She’s also smart and making great progress with potty training!

She hasn’t met cats or children in her foster home, so those matches are still unknown and would need thoughtful introductions.

Already picturing her curled up in your lap? Take the next step: apply to adopt Winter at
EAPL.com. Her adoption fee is $375!

Meet Sally

Read more about Sally

Hi, I'm Sally! I'm a ~6-year-old golden lab mix (about 55 lbs), and after five wonderful years with my family, I'm looking for my forever home. I'm intelligent, playful, and deeply affectionate — a world-class snuggler who wants to be near my people, wrapped in a blanket on the couch. But I'm just as happy on a long hike, chasing a tennis ball, or splashing through a stream. I'm house- and crate-trained, calm on walks, off-leash recall trained, and I settle happily on my own without chewing or destroying anything when left home alone.

Quick facts:

Age: ~6 years (rescue's estimate)
Breed: Golden lab mix
Weight: 55 lbs
Energy: Medium
Training: House-, crate-, e-collar, and off-leash recall trained
Health: Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped; no known health concerns
Location: Denver, CO

The home where I'll thrive:
I'm a loving but sensitive girl, and I do my best in a calm, predictable home with someone patient who appreciates my adventurous-yet-tentative personality.

Adults-only (no children under 12). Fast, unpredictable young-kid energy overwhelms me.
Only pet. I've been a happy daycare and boarding camper, but I can be reactive toward unfamiliar dogs in my own space — I'd love to be your one and only, with all the attention to myself.
Room to move. I love a backyard plus daily walks, though I've done well in an apartment with enough exercise.

Being fully honest, because the right match matters:
I'm being rehomed for one reason. My family welcomed a baby, and as he's become mobile I've grown anxious around him — recently, I snapped at him. My family isn't willing to risk it, and honestly, neither am I. It's not who I want to be; I'm simply overwhelmed by unpredictable toddler energy. In a calm, adults-only home, I'm the sweet, loyal, joyful dog my family has loved for years. I came from a shelter once before, and we're all hoping this next home is my last, best chapter.

I come with:

Up-to-date vet records and full vaccination history
Microchip, with registration transferred to you
My hard crate and bed, soft travel crate, favorite toys, e-collar and leashes, and current food
A written rundown of my routine, commands, and quirks for a smooth first day

Sally’s adoption fee is $375, which will be donated to a local animal shelter. Please contact sallynewhome2026@gmail.com for additional information.

6. Spinner

Adult (6 years) · Male · Poodle (unknown type) / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat) · 48 mi from Alma

Meet Spinner (and no, we don't get the name either)

Surrendered to the shelter with this name already attached, and we have SO many questions. Does he spin? No. Chase his tail like a top? No. Turn the yard into a racetrack? Also no. Somebody, please explain yourselves.

Here's what we DO know: Spinner is a whopping 75+ lb of pure love, 6 years old, neutered, and handsome as all get out. He's billed as a doodle-ish mix, but give this guy a haircut and he could pass for a mini Irish Wolfhound.

Read more about Spinner

The Spinner Rundown:
Loves car rides
Totally fine home alone while you run errands
Comes to the gym with his foster and just... vibes, soaking up all the attention
Cat-approved — the foster home's resident cat is his ride-or-die bestie

The catch: Spinner does best as an only dog. He's picky about his fellow woof-woofs — didn't love sharing space with the foster home's two very submissive dogs (one a 100+ lb actual Irish Wolfhound, the other a Great Pyr/Lab mix). But give him a human, a car, and maybe a cat? He's set.

7. Betty

Adult (2 years 9 months) · Female · Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from Alma

An open seat in your car and a little patience? You might be Betty’s person.

Betty is a 3-year-old Lab/Pittie mix with floppy ears, soft brown eyes, and a love of going places with her people. Scenic drives, a little off-road exploring, or a quick trip for a pup cup—she’s happy to come along. Daily walks are another favorite, so bring your walking shoes.

Betty takes time to feel comfortable with new people. Slow introductions and a patient approach help her build trust. Sudden movements can startle her, so she’s looking for a home with adults or teenagers who can respect her pace.

Read more about Betty

She can enjoy other dogs, too, especially those who give her space and don’t rush to greet her. Thoughtful introductions will help determine a good match.

If you enjoy walks, car rides, and giving a dog time to settle in, Betty could be a wonderful companion.

Could Betty be the dog for you? Apply to adopt at EAPL.com.

8. Piper

Puppy (6 months) · Female · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from Alma

Meet Piper!

Piper is a young puppy who loves everyone and everything the whole world has to offer! Every day, she wakes up excited about anything and everything. She wants nothing more than to give you kisses, be petted and talked to, enjoy a snack, take a nap, investigate a shoe, sniff around the yard, and play!

Her sweet nature and playful personality will melt your heart. Piper has a beautiful wiry coat with slight brindling on her muzzle and paws.

Read more about Piper

She is almost fully housetrained, does not soil her kennel overnight, and is learning to walk on a leash. Piper is eager to please her person and loves being part of the family. She gets along wonderfully with the other dogs in the house as well as the cat.

Piper would make a wonderful companion or family pet for someone who will shower her with affection and give her plenty of outdoor walks and playtime so she can get her puppy wiggles out!

9. Panda

Adult (15 years 4 months) · Female · Shih Tzu (medium coat) · 48 mi from Alma

PRANCING PANDA

This adorable little senior furball only wants two things: 1) to lay by your feet, and 2) to PRANCE across a grassy field!

When Panda arrived, we thought she was just a frail, blind Shih Tzu. But with a healthy diet, lots of love, and daily walks, she's rediscovered her joy — and gets more tail-waggy every day. Panda is mostly blind and mostly deaf, but that doesn't stop her from staying glued to your side and happily trotting along in the yard or on walks.

Read more about Panda

She's housebroken, quiet, docile, a great eater, and an even better sleeper (through the night, every night!). She's also a surprisingly fantastic leash walker. Panda is indifferent to other dogs and cats and isn't much of a player — though that could change with time and patience.

Panda would thrive in a home looking for a chill cuddle buddy with yard or park access. She's not a match for an active household with young kids, and she needs daily eye drops for glaucoma. She may whine in her crate at first, but with a little crate training, she settles in and sleeps soundly on her own.

If you want the joy of earning love by giving love, Panda is the galloping gal for you.

(you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up in Colorado, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances delaying pick up. Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.

20. Pretty Girl

Adult · Female · German Shepherd Dog / Mixed · 49 mi from Alma

This pup will be available to meet starting on 11/7Volunteer notes - I met pretty girl yesterday and she is THE BEST! very chill energy, potty trained, dog friendly but in a neutral chill way. She sat with me on the lawn for a while when I was posting content for other euth list dogs. Highly recommend! Pretty Girl has a fitting name. She is absolutely stunning. This sweet girl, in a shelter environment, can be found quietly hanging out in her kennel and relaxing. Outside, she walks well on a loose leash, approaches everyone with a gentle, friendly temperament, and is content to sit by your side.

    How to adopt from Evergreen Animal Protective League

    THE FIRST STEP to adopting an EAPL animal is to fill out a DOG ADOPTION APPLICATION. EAPL is a foster-based rescue. We do not have a shelter facility where applicants can come look at multiple animals at one time. All of our animals are in foster homes that range from Denver, to Evergreen, to Northeast Colorado - where they are loved and cared for until they are placed in a forever home. The adoption process begins when you complete an online Adoption Application, naming either one or a few of our Available Animals or providing a description of the type of animal you hope to adopt. Completing an application does not restrict you to a specific animal, nor does it obligate you to adopt. Once we have received your application and determined that you are a good match for the requested animal, we will contact you. The foster parent will then contact you to arrange a time for you to meet the animal, at which time you can decide if you would like to complete the adoption. You may be asked to visit the animal more than once before taking it home. After your initial meeting with the animal, one of our volunteers will conduct a home visit. This may occur before you take the animal home or when the animal is delivered to you. Once the adoption is approved, you will need to complete our Preliminary Adoption Agreement and pay the adoption fee. We will keep in contact over the next few days to make sure everyone is happy. If so, we will mail out an official Adoption Contract for

Adopting a dog in Alma

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
