Oh, hello! I'm Elvira. I get startled sometimes. Please excuse me. Oh, you want to cuddle? Great!
I'm located in Colorado and just getting settled into my foster home. I have already shown I walk well on a leash and love the fellow dog in the home with me!
I'm not a HUGE fan of crates BUT do remarkably well in the house when left out and about! According to the dog camera, I just play with my dog friend here and didn't get into ANY trouble. Nope. Not me!
I met some kids the other day and did great. I was quite comfortable and friendly around the elementary children I saw. I'm pretty comfortable with women but a little hesitant around men. That being said, I am very cuddly and like nothing more than to share the couch or bed with you at night.
Ready to meet a potty trained, lovely little lady? Great! Apply to meet Elvira!

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

Read more about Asher

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!

If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.

The adoption fee for this pet is $400. Our adoption fee covers the following:

Spay/neuter

Microchip

DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.

Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.

Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.

Please fill out an adoption application by clicking

. Please give us 72 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process!

Beatrice #3 | 4-month-old Lab mix | Your playful little cuddle bug

Read more about Beatrice

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!

If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along.

Bindi #2 | 4-Month-Old Lab Mix | Playful, Snuggly, and Full of Puppy Charm!

Read more about Bindi

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 #1 | 4-month-old Lab mix | Your little prancing sweetheart

Read more about Benzo

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.

Brenda #2 | 4 months old, Lab mix | Happy little water-loving pup

Read more about Brenda

Brenda is a sweet, playful, and incredibly smart 4-month-old Lab mix who is always ready for her next adventure. She loves being outside, playing fetch, chewing on bones, splashing in the water, and generally keeping busy. She is very inquisitive and learns quickly — she already knows her name and several commands, including come, wait, leave it, off, and down.

Brenda is currently living with a male puppy and an adult female dog and does well with both. She has also had positive interactions with cats. She is still working on her manners around other dogs while on leash and can bark or growl when she sees them. She also likes to jump up to greet people, but she is just a baby and is working on learning that all four paws belong on the floor.

She is doing great with her kennel training, easily settles into her crate, and sleeps through the night. She is almost completely house trained and will stand by the door when she needs to go outside, although an occasional accident is still possible while she is learning.

Brenda is a happy little greeter who loves attention and will rest her head on you or roll over for belly rubs. She also has a funny habit of hiding her toys. She is food-, toy-, and affection-motivated, which should make continued training a lot of fun.

Brenda would love an active, outdoorsy home with a yard and people who are around frequently. She came to ARR as a stray from Houston, TX and is ready to find a family who will help her grow into the wonderful adult dog she is already showing us she can be.

Sassy #7 | 15-year-old Pomeranian/Corgi mix | A whole lot of love in a little, fluffy package

Read more about Sassy

Meet Sassy, a 14-pound bundle of sweetness with a big personality and an even bigger heart! Her shelter paperwork lists her as a Collie, but one look at this fluffy little lady and you’ll likely agree she’s much more of a Pomgi (Pomeranian/Corgi mix)! At 15 years young, Sassy has perfected the art of enjoying the good life: snuggling with her people, collecting affection, enjoying her favorite treats, and taking in the neighborhood from her stroller. She may be a little chunky, but she’s absolutely adorable and has plenty of love left to give!

Sassy is a low-energy girl who would much rather relax beside her favorite person than run marathons. She enjoys short strolls, car rides, itty-bitty stuffed toys, and all the treats she’s allowed to have. While she’s definitely not looking to become a fitness influencer, she does need some daily activity to help her shed a few pounds and stay healthy. Her signature move is resting her whole body on you and giving you a thousand kisses. She’s also a bit of a mama’s girl and will do her best to keep you in sight, even if navigating the stairs takes a little extra effort.

Sassy is also the PERFECT brewery dog, if that’s your thing! She absolutely loves meeting people and making new friends when she's out and about. With her adorable face and friendly personality, she'll have everyone wrapped around her little paw in no time. Just be prepared for her to steal the show!

Sassy is looking for a very specific type of home: adult-only, quiet, and preferably shared by just one or two people who are home most of the time. She needs to be the only dog in the household. Although she enjoys meeting other dogs in public, she can be territorial about her personal space at home and may become snippy when another dog gets too close. She is also comfortable around cats and generally ignores them. A home without children is a must; Sassy will be happiest with adults who can offer her the calm, predictable environment she needs.

Sassy has some significant medical needs, including severe hip dysplasia, advanced arthritis, mobility challenges, and chronic ear infections. She’s receiving medication to help manage her pain and keep her comfortable, and she has shown improvement with treatment. She also has some hearing loss, so she likely won't respond when you call her name. She appears to be mostly housetrained, though she occasionally uses a potty pad indoors. She doesn't need a crate; a comfortable, safe space to relax is much more her style.

Sassy needs a mellow, loving home where she can enjoy her golden years in comfort. With her mobility limitations, a home without lots of stairs would be ideal, but she still wants to be included in her people's daily activities. A cozy bed, gentle strolls, and someone committed to managing her medical needs will go a long way toward keeping her happy. Her foster family has even installed a bed rail to prevent her from accidentally falling off the bed at night!

Sassy may be a little bit of a hot mess, but she's a happy one! She has so much love to give and deserves to spend her remaining years surrounded by people who adore her. If you have a quiet home, lots of time for companionship, and room in your heart for a one-and-only senior girl, Sassy could be just the companion you've been looking for.

Sugar #7| 1-year-old Yellow Lab mix | A big bundle of love with a serious case of the zoomies

Read more about Sugar

Sugar is a 40-pound Yellow Lab mix with a huge heart, endless energy, and SO much love to give! This sweet, playful girl loves everyone she meets and is always ready to share kisses, snuggles, and plenty of happy tail wags. She loves playing fetch, going for walks, romping around the yard, and making friends with other dogs. When playtime is over, she’s happy to soak up affection, curl up nearby, and enjoy some well-earned rest. Kongs, puzzle toys, and anything crunchy are also big hits with this fun-loving girl!

Sugar is still learning her manners and working on housetraining, but she’s eager to please and responds well to praise and gentle, consistent guidance. She’s learning not to jump on people, play-bite, or turn shoes, clothes, and plants into chew toys. She’s comfortable in her crate and can stay home alone for a few hours, though she may bark or whine before settling in. As a high-energy pup, Sugar needs plenty of daily exercise, mental stimulation, and supervision to help her make good choices. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal, especially since she loves to chase squirrels and play fetch!

Sugar gets along well with other dogs and would love a playful canine companion who can keep up with her enthusiasm. She can be a little vocal when meeting new dogs, but she settles in with proper introductions. She hasn’t met cats or children yet, and because she’s energetic and still learning her manners, older kids who understand how to interact respectfully with dogs may be the best fit.

If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate adventure buddy who will keep you smiling with her goofy antics, shower you with kisses, and remind you every day how much you’re loved, Sugar could be your girl! She has so much potential and a heart of gold—she just needs a family ready to help her grow into the wonderful companion she’s meant to be.

Jessie #3 | 3-year-old Corgi/Australian Shepherd mix | Born to Move, Built to Cuddle

Read more about Jessie

Jessie is a 27-pound sweetheart with a BIG personality and an even bigger supply of energy! This handsome Corgi/Australian Shepherd mix is friendly, playful, affectionate, and always ready for his next adventure. He loves people, enjoys playing with other dogs, and is just as happy soaking up attention on the couch as he is heading out for a walk.

Let's be clear: Jessie is a HIGH-energy dog who needs an active home committed to meeting his physical and mental needs. Long walks, hikes, running, interactive play, and enrichment activities will be important parts of his daily routine. His foster took him on a seven-mile hike, and he still had energy to spare! A quick stroll around the block won't cut it for this guy. He needs a family that genuinely enjoys an active lifestyle and will give him plenty of appropriate outlets for all that energy.

The good news is that Jessie can settle down nicely at home once he's had the activity he needs. He loves snuggling with his people and relaxing alongside his foster's dog. He's also doing well with house training and crate training, sleeps through the night, and can stay home alone for three to four hours.

Jessie is social with other dogs and has shown friendly curiosity toward cats, backing off when they set boundaries. He knows sit and down, is highly motivated by treats, and enjoys toys, especially rope toys and squeaky stuffed animals. He's still working on his leash manners and greeting skills, as his excitement can lead to pulling and jumping up on people. Continued training, consistency, and mental stimulation will be essential to help him thrive.

Jessie is looking for an active home that understands his energy level and is ready to make exercise, enrichment, and training a priority. In return, you'll get a loving, playful companion who's always up for doing things together and happy to finish the day with some quality cuddle time. If you're looking for a couch potato, Jessie probably isn't your guy. But if you're searching for an energetic adventure partner with a heart of gold, he might be exactly who you've been waiting for!

Left Eye | 8-Year-Old Collie/Shepherd Mix | Sweet, Gentle Companion

Left Eye is an 8-year-old Collie/Shepherd mix weighing about 29 pounds, with a beautiful black-and-white coat and a calm, gentle personality. She loves a peaceful lifestyle, cozy naps, and having her person nearby.

Read more about Left Eye

She’s house trained and easygoing at home, happy to curl up in her bed most of the day. She enjoys short walks around the block but prefers heading home to her favorite resting spot rather than going on long adventures.

Left Eye seems to do reasonably well around other dogs initially, but over time, she becomes increasingly submissive and timid. She may be happiest as the only pet, where she can relax and enjoy all the love and attention. She has shown a tendency to chase cats, so a cat-free home is recommended.

She can be shy when meeting new people, especially men, and will need a patient person who gives her time to feel comfortable and build trust. She is definitely more at ease with women so a single female adopter is the ideal, although the most important thing is finding someone who understands her gentle, sensitive nature. Once she feels safe, she enjoys affection, belly rubs, and quiet time with her person. She also loves soft squeaky toys and often carries them around the house and takes them to bed.

Left Eye experiences separation anxiety and may howl when left alone, so she needs a house rather than an apartment. She would do best with someone who is home most of the time and can provide a calm, predictable environment.

Left Eye has ongoing medical needs following the removal of cancerous tumors and currently takes chemotherapy medication, which she will need for at least a year. Regular veterinary checkups are important to monitor her progress.
ARR will cover her chemotherapy medications for six months following adoption and sponsor her adoption fee.

Left Eye is looking for a patient, understanding adopter who can offer a quiet home, plenty of companionship, and time to help her build confidence. A woman in a single-person household, with Left Eye as her only pet, may be her ideal match. In return, this sweet girl will offer gentle companionship and lots of love once she knows she's safe.

Adopting a dog in Commerce City

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.
