Dogs for Adoption in Roxborough Park, CO: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

If you’re looking for a tiny dog with a big personality and an extra-wiggly greeting waiting for you, Pepper might just be your girl.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
