1. Pepper
2 Years · Female · Terrier / Mixed · 21 mi from Monument



Meet Pepper!
Pepper is a sweet, ~2-year-old, 8-pound bundle of wiggles who is ready to find her forever home! This little girl has a huge heart and will greet you with the happiest wiggles and a whole lot of love.
Pepper loves other dogs and would be happiest in a home with a friendly pup to show her the ropes and keep her company. She can be a little skittish at times, so she would do best in a calmer home.
Once she feels comfortable, Pepper’s sweet personality really shines. She’s affectionate, playful, and just an all-around adorable little companion. She is also crate trained and potty trained in her foster home!

2. Moxey
1 Year · Male · Terrier / Mixed · 21 mi from Monument




Meet Moxey, a sweet little fluff ball who is about 1 year old and weighs approximately 25–30 pounds. His paperwork says he is a Cairn Terrier mix, although we think “adorable white cloud with caramel highlights” may be more accurate!
Moxey may need a moment to get comfortable, but he warms up quickly and lets his sweet personality shine. He is beginning to discover how much fun toys can be and absolutely loves chewing on dog bones. He is also working on crate training and learning that potty time happens outside.

Moxey is a lovable young pup who is still learning the ropes and would thrive with a patient family ready to continue his training and help him build confidence. With a little guidance, plenty of love, and a good supply of bones, Moxey will make a wonderful companion!

This pup will be available to meet starting on 11/7Volunteer notes - Meet Ed, an absolute rockstar with a heart of gold! This handsome boy is great with other dogs, knows how to sit, and is a total people pleaser with the greatest smile that can light up any room. Sadly, Ed’s story is heartbreaking. His previous owners moved out of their apartment complex and left him behind to fend for himself, never coming back for him.

Despite everything he has endured, Ed still wears his heart on his sleeve and greets the world with love.

15. Cadbury aka Judge
Adult · Male · Cocker Spaniel · 21 mi from Monument

He loves everyone he meets, human or canine, and firmly believes that every interaction should involve kisses, affection, and possibly an inappropriate amount of enthusiasm. He’s great with other dogs, although his fellow four-legged friends may occasionally need to remind him that personal boundaries are, in fact, a thing.Cadbury is also a devoted romantic. His current girlfriend is his dog bed, and their relationship is… passionate. We ask that you respect their privacy during this special time.Behind that adorable face is a gentleman with a few medical maintenance requirements.
Read more about Cadbury aka Judge
Cadbury has allergies that may require lifelong medication, and consistent, tailored grooming is incredibly important in keeping his allergies under control. His future family should be prepared to stay on top of his medical and grooming needs to keep this little man feeling his best!As far as house manners go, Cadbury has been a perfect gentleman! He hasn’t had a single accident in his foster home. He loves bones and antler chews and is always happy to entertain himself with a good chew session or romantic evening with his dog bed. Crate training, however, is not currently listed on his résumé. He has cried when kenneled and would appreciate a patient family willing to help him work on his independence.Cadbury’s ideal family is one that can keep up with his grooming and medical needs, appreciate his larger-than-life personality, and understand that personal space is simply not a concept he subscribes to.If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, affectionate little man with a big personality, a few extra maintenance requirements, and a questionable romantic history, Cadbury is your guy!They were rescued from a shelter in New Mexico.Meet and greets are by appointment only.

She's great with other dogs once she's had a chance to make introductions, and she's quickly making herself right at home. These days, her favorite activity is flopping over for belly rubs while snoring like a little trucker. Honestly, she's got the relaxation thing figured out.She's also a pretty great walking buddy! Bertha recently went for a stroll and did wonderfully on leash, walking without pulling and seeming to enjoy every minute.

She's happy to get out and explore, but given her French Bulldog build, she's probably better suited to leisurely walks and shorter adventures than strenuous exercise or long, demanding outings. She's more of a stroll-and-then-nap kind of girl!At night, Bertha slept perfectly in her crate, making herself quite the easy houseguest. She's sweet, funny, affectionate, and full of character. If you're looking for a companion who will keep you smiling, happily soak up your attention, and provide plenty of entertainment with her ridiculous little snores, Big Bertha might just be your girl!They were rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas.Meet and greets are by appointment only.
