He approaches life with a cheerful attitude and will never turn down a treat!
Shadow presents himself as the sophisticated gentleman of the pair. He has a little more dignity about him - or at least he’d like you to think so!
At seven years old, River and Shadow still have so much love and adventure ahead of them. They are vocal, energetic, and full of personality! If you are looking for a pair of best friends to be part of your family, fill out an application and mention River and Shadow!

I quickly hit it off with the other dogs in my foster home, from the king of the castle to the little puppy. I'm learning that I don't need to resource guard random things. It helps when the other dogs ignore me because that makes it no fun at all.
I'm a 65 pound lap husky who will accept all the attention you can give me! I'm the dog who will be by right there by your side no matter what you're doing. I'm happy to join in work video calls by climbing into your lap if I'm not getting enough attention. I helped my foster mom put together a shelf by hanging my head over her shoulder and forcing myself into her lap. After a snuggle I just slept curled up next to her. I can help you pick up kids at school. You will need to book some extra time because I will attract a crowd! I recently attended a long outdoor event where I was petted and/or hugged by approximately 476 people and loved every minute of it. I became BFFs with a toddler who wouldn't leave my side and was so well behaved that someone thought I was a service dog. One guy came back to find me afterwards to get "just one more lean" from me.
If adding a playful bundle of love to your home is on your to-do list, fill out an application and mention Hermes!

I LOVE people, attention, and cuddles. I'm not overly needy though, I mostly hang out curled up on the couch. I'm a little shy when I first meet people out in public, but I warm up quickly. I am very gentle and tolerant with kids, even when they're super snuggly and huggy!
I'm a great eater, even with my prescription diet.
I do amazing in my crate and have also done well free roaming when my people are gone. I will wait by the door for a minute or two after you leave, but then go back to my comfy couch. I have had no accidents in the house. I'm non-destructive if you keep your things picked up (I may have taken the opportunity to nibble a glove and a pair of sunglasses once - oops!)
Overall I'm low to medium energy. I can go for a 2-3 mile hike, but I don't need a ton of exercise. I do great on car rides and walk well on a leash!
I enjoy meeting calm dogs, but I don't appreciate overly playful dogs who get in my face. I wouldn't mind another calm dog sibling who gives me space. I could also live very happily as an only dog getting all the attention and snuggles for myself! I'm very interested in bunnies and the neighbor's cat, so I should probably have a home without small animals.
If you're willing to share your couch with me, fill out an application and mention Olympus!

When I was in the shelter I was paired with an even shyer dog who became more confident by spending time with me.
Are you looking for a buddy to enjoy quiet times, snacks, and the kind of peace you only find under open skies? Fill out an application and mention me, your park Ranger!

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Put in an application at eapl.com.

Her adoption fee is $375.

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.

Meet Ellie, a sweet, fluffy girl with a big heart and so much love to give! At around 18 pounds already, this German Shepherd mix is likely to grow into a big girl. She's an affectionate cuddle bug who loves attention, especially from her favorite person, and is happiest when she's soaking up love. Ellie is also a sensitive, delicate little soul who is still discovering just how wonderful the world can be. She can be a little shy when meeting new people or experiencing new things, but a gentle approach, a few tasty treats, and some patience go a long way with this girl. Get down on her level and call her gently, and she'll often come right over for some affection.

Ellie's ideal home will be a calm, loving environment with a securely fenced yard where she can play, explore, and settle in at her own pace. She'll thrive with a family who understands that some things may take her a little longer and is happy to celebrate all the little milestones along the way. With gentle encouragement, positive experiences, and lots of reassurance, we know she'll grow into the happy, self-assured girl she's meant to be!

Like any puppy, Ellie has lots to learn! She's just beginning her house-training journey and working on basic commands, so she'll need a family willing to guide her with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. She's also getting comfortable with her crate and learning all about the routines of family life. She's very food motivated, which makes treats a wonderful way to build trust and make learning fun!

This playful girl loves toys, stuffed animals, treats, and even playing in the water! She has a moderate energy level and enjoys playtime, but when her puppy energy runs out, she's more than happy to curl up for some cozy cuddles. New or unexpected things can sometimes startle her, and she may bark while she figures them out, but she's learning more about the world every day.

Ellie has done well with dogs of all sizes and is also good with cats! A calm, older dog with a playful side would be an ideal companion for her. Someone who can show her the ropes, offer a little reassurance, and still enjoy some puppy playtime would be wonderful. She hasn't been formally introduced to children yet, so that relationship would need to be approached thoughtfully. She's definitely a mama's girl and seems to gravitate toward women, but with time and gentle encouragement, she can continue building trust with everyone in her family.

Ellie's story began in the desert near the Texas-New Mexico border, where she, her brother, and her mama were found when the puppies were only a week or two old. A kind person took in the whole family and cared for them, but Ellie needed a little extra help finding her forever home and eventually came into ARR's care. She spent much of her early life in a shed, where she was loved but had fewer opportunities for the everyday socialization and early learning that help puppies feel comfortable in new situations. She's now making up for lost time and discovering all the wonderful things life has to offer, one little adventure at a time.

Ellie is looking for a special family with a little extra patience, a lot of love, and a willingness to help her spread her wings (or paws!). A calm home with a fenced yard and, ideally, a friendly older dog would be the perfect setting for her. She has all the makings of a wonderful companion, and there's something pretty special about getting to watch a shy little girl come into her own. We can't wait for Ellie to find t

Meet Asher, a 35-pound bundle of sweetness with kind eyes and a heart full of love! This handsome grey-and-white boy may start out a little shy and skittish, especially around men, but give him a few minutes and he warms up quickly. Once he feels comfortable, he’s all about being near his people, cuddling on the couch, and asking for affection by resting his head on you, offering you his paw, or rolling over for belly rubs. He even has an adorable little prance that’s sure to make you smile!

Asher is a playful, energetic boy who thrives when he has plenty of activity and opportunities to explore. He loves playing fetch, going for walks, and spending time with his favorite humans. A quick stroll around the block won't cut it for this guy! He’ll be happiest with an active family who enjoys long walks, hikes, outdoor adventures, and daily play sessions. With plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, he can settle nicely at home, but an active lifestyle is where he truly shines. If he needs a little help entertaining himself, a tasty chew bone or favorite chew toy does the trick, giving him a fun and appropriate outlet for his energy.

Asher is friendly with dogs of all sizes and would love a canine companion to play with, though he has a submissive, gentle approach to making friends. He’s also fantastic with children, both young and older, making him a lovely candidate for an active family home. He hasn’t met cats yet, so his compatibility with feline friends is unknown.

This good boy is doing great with his house manners and hasn’t had any accidents in his foster home. When he needs to go outside, he’ll whine or stand by the door to let you know. He also does beautifully when left home alone for a few hours, without a crate, and has shown no signs of separation anxiety. He sleeps well through the night, knows how to sit, and is working on improving his leash skills and learning not to pull.

Asher is looking for a loving, active home that will give him the exercise, engagement, and companionship he needs to thrive. In return, you'll get a sweet, affectionate, playful sidekick who's ready to join you on life's adventures and then snuggle up with you after a busy day. And if you happen to have Greenies or baby carrots, you may just become his favorite person ever!

Beatrice is a 4-month-old Lab mix who is everything you would expect from a puppy: playful, friendly, cuddly, and full of puppy energy! She loves toys, especially plush toys, and is always happy to play fetch or romp around with her canine friends. And when we say she loves other dogs, we mean she LOVE, LOVE, LOVES playing with them! She is incredibly social and thrives on having a playful canine buddy. She also has a sweet habit of resting her head on you and loves to sleep right beside you—or sometimes right on your head!

Beatrice is doing really well with her house training and is almost there, although her new family should expect that accidents can happen while she adjusts to a new home. She sleeps well through the night and has done well when left home alone for 3–4 hours with another dog in the house. She may whine or bark a little at first when crated, but she settles down with time. She is still very much a puppy and is working on things like play biting, jumping on people, and learning that not everything is a chew toy. She is food motivated, loves toys and affection, and is responding well to structure and boundaries.

Beatrice is making great progress with her leash skills. She is fine with cats, and although she hasn't met children yet, we expect her to do well with kids of any age. She has had positive interactions with all the dogs she has met and absolutely adores playing with her resident canine friend. She doesn't seem to have a preference for men or women and is equally happy to make friends with everyone.

Beatrice came to us as a stray and is now looking for a family who is ready for all the fun, energy, and learning that comes with a young puppy. Her ideal home would have a yard where she can run and play, along with another confident, playful pup who can be her best friend and help show her the ropes. Her family should be ready to continue working on training, manners, and basic commands. If you're looking for a friendly, playful puppy who loves her canine friends just as much as she loves cuddles, Beatrice may be your girl!

Bindi is an adorable 4-month old brindle Lab mix with a big personality and plenty of puppy energy! This sweet, playful girl loves toys, playing fetch, and chewing on her favorite fish bone. She’s also a total cuddlebug who enjoys resting her head on you, showing off her belly for rubs, and doing the cutest little dances and prances. Bindi is motivated by both treats and affection, making her a fun little companion who is eager to learn.

Bindi is a social girl who gets along well with dogs of all sizes. She can be a little nervous around bigger dogs at first, but she warms up quickly and is soon ready to join the fun. She would love a home with at least one other dog, as she really enjoys having a canine friend around for company and playtime. An active family or adult who can keep up with her energy and include her in daily adventures would be a great match. She hasn’t met cats or children yet, so her compatibility with them is unknown.

Bindi is doing well with housetraining and is almost there! She has had a couple of accidents but is learning quickly and will stand by the door when she needs to go outside. She already knows several commands, including “come,” “sit,” “stay,” and “wait.” Leash walking isn’t her favorite activity just yet, but with patience and practice, she can continue building confidence.

Like many puppies, Bindi is still working on some of her manners. She may whine or bark when left alone, and she occasionally gets mouthy during play. The good news is that her play biting has already improved as she’s gotten older, and she’ll benefit from continued training and positive reinforcement.

Bindi is a fun-loving, affectionate puppy looking for an active home where she can keep learning, enjoy plenty of playtime, and grow up alongside a friendly dog companion. If you’re looking for a sweet, spirited little sidekick who will keep you smiling and happily snuggle up when playtime is over, Bindi could be your girl!

Benzo is a 4-month-old, Lab mix who is a sweet, friendly, playful little guy with plenty of puppy charm. He loves toys, chews, fetch, walks, and spending time with his people. He is also quite the character and has an adorable little dance and prance that will make you smile. When he's not showing off his moves, he loves resting his head on you and snuggling.

Benzo is almost house trained and will stand by the door when he needs to go outside. He is doing great with his kennel training and sleeps through the night. He enjoys a couple of short walks and some backyard play each day and then is happy to settle down. He already knows several commands, including come, wait, leave it, off, down, and no. He is food and toy motivated and responds well to training.

Benzo loves dogs of all sizes and has also done well with cats. He hasn't met children yet, so that is still an unknown. He can whine or bark a little when crated and is still working on his puppy habit of jumping on people, but overall he is calm, affectionate, and eager to please.

Benzo came to us as a stray from Houston, Texas, and would love an active family who enjoys spending time outdoors and can continue his training. A home with another dog would be a bonus, as he absolutely loves his 6-year-old canine foster sister. As with any puppy settling into a new home, accidents can happen while he adjusts to his new environment.
