Adult Dogs for Adoption in Loveland, CO: 27 Grown-Up Dogs Looking for a Home

True to her guardian instincts, she is protective of her family and property. Because she was raised primarily off leash on small farms and mountain hikes, she struggles with leash reactivity toward unfamiliar dogs approaching her or passing by. She would thrive with someone who understands guardian breeds, has space for her to explore, and is willing to work with her on leash training.

She is absolutely amazing and has the best demeanor. She loves giving lots of kisses and will happily soak up all the love you have to give. Now that she no longer has to take care of her puppies, her inner playful puppy has really started to come out and shine! She thinks it’s absolutely hilarious to steal her foster mom’s shoes and sandals and hide them. And when Corona is in a playful mood, she makes sure everyone knows she’s ready for a good time! Corona also loves looking out the window and keeping an eye on the neighborhood. She is the cutest little nosy neighbor and takes her job as neighborhood watch guard very seriously! Corona is the perfect mix of sweet, cuddly, silly, and playful, and she is sure to bring so much joy and love to her forever family.

She will be great with or without kids around, but any kids just need to be old enough to understand boundaries.

She mostly just wants to hang out and be next to wherever people are at. Rarely jumps up and never tries to play rough with people. In Fenley’s mind, dogs are for playing and people exist for giving out pets and relaxing.

He comes complete with a set of wonderfully unique, chaotic ears that have a mind of their own. He’s fully potty trained, crate trained, and has recently decided that leash walks are actually fantastic. Activity-wise, he’s a solid "moderate." His favorite hobbies include turning the yard into his personal treasure hoard by collecting every single stick and ball he can find, and showing off his impressive pouncing skills.The Ideal Home: Pierogi is looking for a very specific vibe for his forever home. First and foremost, he needs a confident doggy sibling. He currently spends his days wrestling and playing games of canine Twister with his 60-pound fluffy foster sister, and he relies on doggy friends to build his confidence. He is submissive, takes cues like a champ, and absolutely thrives on canine companionship.Cats? No problem at all. He completely respects his feline foster sibling and fully understands who the real boss of the house is.Kids? Because of his rough start, sudden, unpredictable movements spook him. He’d do best in a quiet, low-traffic home with older, chill kids who understand that he needs a minute to process the big wide world.If you have a little patience, a playful resident dog, and a lap ready for premium snuggles, you just found your boy.

Luna is a playful, curious girl who loves fetch, chase, and tug-of-war, and she especially enjoys exploring the world through sniffing on her walks. She has a moderate-to-high energy level and does best with regular exercise and mental enrichment. Luna is very intelligent, knows basic commands, and is both house-trained and crate-trained.
She’s a dog who enjoys having a “job,” whether that’s training, interactive play, or structured activities that keep her engaged. Once she feels comfortable, Luna is incredibly affectionate and forms strong, loving bonds with her people. She enjoys being close to her person and is okay with most dogs and kids, though she may take a little time to warm up in new situations.

Luna can be sensitive to busy or high-traffic environments and may become reactive when overstimulated, but she continues to improve with guidance and routine. She will do best in a calm, predictable home where she can feel safe and supported.

Her ideal home includes a fenced yard and an experienced, patient owner who can provide structure, engagement, and continued training. She would also benefit from a home where someone is around more often, as she enjoys companionship and regular interaction.

With the right environment, Luna is a loyal, loving companion who will truly shine.
