Beulah	Hi!  My name is Beulah.  An update on me was LONG overdue so I got ready for my close up and smiled pretty at my photo session.  And here’s my story…    I am a sweet girl who is a little shy when I first get to meet you, but super affectionate and playful once we’re friends.  I love other dogs and must be placed in a home with another dog friend to help show me the ropes.  I know some basic commands and am really well natured.  I have grown up in rescue and am ready for my chance at a forever family…is that you?  I can’t wait to get to know you (Beulah</B>: Border Collie/Lab Mix, Female, Black and White, DOB 12/08, ~35 lbs.)
Schubert	Hi!  My name is Schubert.  I am really new to rescue, so please check back in for updates as I get to know my new friends better…unless you are already in love.  If so, apply today!! (Schubert: German Shepherd, Male, White, DOB ~01/06), ~75 lbs.)      Schubert is currently being treated for an eye condition called pannus (Chronic Superficial Keratitis - do a web search for more detailed information). It's very manageable with proper medication, but his new family will have to be prepared for the additional vet expense. But trust us - he is so worth it!
Amelia	Hi!  My name is Amelia.  I am really new to rescue, so please check back in for updates as I get to know my new friends better…unless you are already in love.  If so, apply today!! (Amelia: Lab Mix, Female, White, DOB ~01/06), ~50 lbs.)
Timber	Hi!  My name is Timber.  Left at a shelter, I sadly waited and waited for a new family to find me.  Sadly no one came, but thankfully my picture and story made it to my new friends at SCSR before my time was up.  Next thing I know, I was on a transport on my way to Colorado and on to a new life.  And now that you’ve found me – hopefully I will find my way into your heart and home.    I am a fun-loving, playful young man.  I get along great with other dogs, but cats are a little too interesting (and fast!).  I am affectionate and very smart.  I have more to learn and am looking for a patient guardian to help see me through life – we’ll handle all the good and the occasional bad, together – OK?  Please apply today! (Timber: German Shepherd Mix, Male, Black, Tan and White, DOB 09/08), ~80 lbs.)
Juliet	Juliet Update:  Our darling Juliet had a sudden, extreme pressure change in her eyes due to cataracts and glaucoma and underwent surgery to remove both eyes.  Since she was blind, the removal of her eyes was an easy decision since it has now relieved her from a lot of discomfort.  It was a pretty involved surgery and recovery was a little slow, but she is doing a lot better.  That cone became her favorite weapon of choice!  We need your help however to help raise the funds for her surgery which totaled around $950.00.  Please consider a donation today!  Every dollar adds up, so no gift is too small and every penny is appreciated.  Juliet offers big pittie kisses and a wicked wag of her tail – thanks for your kindness and generosity.    Hi! My name is Juliet!  Have you ever heard of something called BSL or Breed Specific Legislation?  Well to me it meant that I lost my family, my home and everything that made me feel safe and comfortable.  I had already been saved from a life of being over bred -can you believe they sold my puppies when so many die in shelters? Then I found a safe place to lay my head and it was decided that I should be BANNED and face certain death in a shelter just for being me.  What was my crime?  Nothing!  Was I still found guilty even though I had done nothing wrong?  Yes!  Did I find myself alone on a shelter’s concrete floor waiting for my “euthanasia date?”  Sadly, yes!  That was until SCSR stepped up to give me another reprieve…they couldn’t resist such a sweet, loving face.  B.S. Legislation is what they called it and I made my way to Colorado to my life of Happily-Ever-After.   You might think that my challenges ended at the shelter.  I do face two more…1) being adopted and 2) being adopted in spite of being blind!   I know that might seem like an overwhelming challenge but you would be surprised how quickly I adapt to my new surroundings.  I am blessed with the joyful spirit and stubborn determination of a pit bull so I know I will be OK.  I get along great with other dogs after proper introductions.  I can’t get enough of cuddle time on the couch with my foster parents.  Are you ready to share your life with a special companion like me?  Please apply today! (Juliet:  American Pit Bull Terrier, Female, Red and White, 45 lbs., DOB ~10/04, Special Needs: BLIND)
Pippa	Hi!  My name is Pippa. Even though I came to rescue very scared, I am coming out of my shell a little more each day. At first I didn’t like to be touched, probably due to my bad past, but now that I have discovered that people love me, I really like to have my ears rubbed. I am very smart. I already know how to sit and lay down.  My favorite thing to do after a long day is play a gymnast on the floor by attempting somersaults to get just the right angle for a belly rub…Maybe that is why my foster family calls me their silly girl. I am looking for a family who likes to laugh and play…Is that you? (Pippa: German Shepherd, Female, White, DOB ~12/04, 65 lbs.)
Dansby	Hi! My name is Dansby. For those of you who visit the SCSR website often, you might recognize my name – but I look a lot different now that I have grown up a bit. For those not familiar with me, I came from a high kill shelter as a puppy and fought and survived parvo shortly after I arrived in Colorado. I am a survivor…and let’s not forget handsome. Life has taken a twist for me and I am back looking for my forever family. Diagnosed with “bad hips,” I was returned to SCSR. I am “defective” I guess…but thankfully my old friends at SCSR don’t see me that way. They see the loving and sweet young man I have become and just like when I battled parvo, they are by my side every step of the way. Now I am sure you are wondering…”Bad hips…? What does that mean? How bad? What does his future hold?” All good questions that no one has exact answers for yet. Since I am still growing, my body is changing and the doctor’s say that time will only tell. For now, I jump, play and wrestle with the best of them. I might not run with the grace of a stallion…it’s more like the hop of a bunny, but is love about style points? My forever family will take me as I am, love me because they love me, not because of what any xray shows. And we will grow together and handle the future when it comes. My foster family will be happy to talk to you about just how wonderful I am and fill you in on all the details, so just email, call or submit an application. I can’t wait to find you – we have a lot of living to do and memories to make. I’ll see you soon…(Dansby: German Shepherd, Male, Black and Tan, DOB ~12/08, 65 lbs.)
Mette	Hi! My name is Mette. The most adorable little girl if I do say so myself.  Other words that describe me are sweet, affectionate and silly (those came from my foster mom).  Just a perfect kid that found herself part of this imperfect world of pain and suffering.  Click to read my story…    Please consider a donation to Mette’s care.  These tough economic times have taken a toll on all of us, but especially on homeless pets – the voiceless victims.  We need your support to make Mette’s recovery possible.  To see her well, to see her run without pain, to see joy erase all memories of her suffering.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Caden	Hi! My name is Caden. Adopted and returned to rescue, life is feeling a little unsettled for me at present. I am such a sweet boy, but a little confused about where I belong and who loves me. As I am settling back into rescue life, I am starting to trust again, but really need a forever home forever so I can blossom and feel safe again. I am a very affectionate and sweet boy. I get along great with other dogs and love to play, but if you ask me, cuddle time on the couch ranks pretty high on my list of good stuff. I can be a little reserved in new situations, but when I fall for you?I am head over heels and back around again! I need a stable home life to help me believe just how good of a boy I am. Is that you? I can't wait to love again (Caden: Male, German Shepherd, White, 75 lbs., DOB ~11/07)    Caden desperately needs a foster home.  Please consider opening up your home and hearts!
Johnny Cash	UPDATE: I have sucessfully lost my extra pounds, but I am still not light on love. Won't you consider me for your next best friend? Hurry up and apply today - we have a lot of cuddling to do! + + + + + + + +   Hi!  My name is Johnny Cash.  The man in white…the big man in white.  Sometimes life doesn’t turn out the way you expect.  One day you are home, safe and loved.  And then, like in my case, you find yourself walking into a shelter – and not walking out with those you thought would always be there for you.  I guess I wasn’t totally out of luck since I was transferred to rescue and on to another chance at someone to call my own.    Did I mention I am big?  I am big in affection, looks and love…oh yes, and in pounds so I am on a little diet.  I get along great with other dogs, but please no kitties.  I know basic commands and have terrific house manners.  What’s missing from my life?  Well, at present it is a second helping at dinner and MOST importantly…you.  Will you be mine?  I can’t wait to meet you (Johnny Cash: German Shepherd, Male, White, DOB ~05/06, 100 lbs.)
Lilli	Hi!  My name is Lilli.  I came into rescue very shy and scared.  Abandoned by my previous owner, I didn’t understand what this new world of rescue was all about.  Having lived with the same person for me entire life, all the newness was a bit overwhelming.  Now that I am settled in, I have learned that people can be awesome – they like to play, give me treats and best of all, seem to be OK with cuddling whenever my little heart desires.  They are just so proud of how far I have come that they can’t resist my cute face.    Now don’t get me wrong, I am still a little shy in new situations, but if you give me a chance to get to know you, you will wonder how you could have ever lived without perfect me.  I love other dogs and kitties are OK to.  I know basic commands but would love to blossom even more with my new guardians in a training class.  Looking for a super-duper snuggle bug?  Then I am the gal for you.  Only the most awesome need apply! (Lilli: German Shepherd, Female, White, DOB ~06/05, 65 lbs.)
Henni	Hi!  My name is Henni.  When my family moved, they didn’t make plans to include me.  Instead of joining them for a new beginning, I was dumped at a shelter and faced a sad fate.  Thankfully, my picture and story made its way West and SCSR opened their moving arms.  Now I am ready for a family that will truly cherish me as a part of the family.    I am wonderfully sweet and affectionate.  I can’t get enough love from my foster family.  I was never taught to share, so I would need to join a family where I am the only pet.  Who wants to share anyway – this way I can be 110% devoted to just you.  I know basic manners and am eager to please.  Ready for a terrific addition to your family?  You’ve found her – apply today!!! (Henni: German Shepherd, Female, White, DOB ~02/03, 55 lbs) Henni desperately needs a foster home.  Please consider opening up your home and hearts!
Frieda	FRIEDA UPDATE:  Frieda has received a clean bill of health from the vet and is ready for adoption.  She has blossomed to 70 lbs. and just needs to gain a little more.  She is a playful and cuddly girl – loves everyone she meets canine and human alike.  Now all she needs is a family to spoil her rotten and bring all the joy to her life that she deserves.  Apply today!!    Read Frieda's entire story here.  See how far this precious little one has come!
Stefan and Sofie	Hi! We are Stefan and Sofie!  Now we know you are wondering…how do such beautiful kids end up homeless?  We wish that looks mattered, but sadly even great dogs get abandoned.  Dumped by our prior owner, we were lucky enough to make it out of the shelter and into rescue.  Now we are just looking for you!   We are a terrific pair (siblings in fact - just a few litters apart) and must be adopted together.  Double the fun, love…and occasional trouble!  We play best with each other and have been known to have our foster family laughing when we play tag in the backyard – we are fast and hurdle each other to avoid the ‘tag!’  We need a family that is going to help us mature into the wonderful kids we are meant to be.  What a great addition we will make to a lucky, lucky family.  Staying together is all we have left...that is until we meet you so hurry up and apply today!!  (Sofie: German Shepherd, Female, White, 60 lbs., DOB ~06/05 | Stefan: German Shepherd, Male, White, 75 lbs., DOB ~01/08)
Jaeger	Hi!  My name is Jaeger.  And guess what…?!?  Somebody loves me!  Now why you might think that is an obvious statement, for me it’s a whole new feeling.  For the first time in my short life I really feel loved.  My foster family shows me love with their words and with their actions.  You see before I came to Colorado, I lived chained in a backyard where no one really cared much about me.  Lucky, an outreach group saw my plight and stepped in to help me.    Now in loving hands, I am going to blossom and become the dog I am meant to be.  I am currently enrolled in a training class and I am learning new stuff everyday.   I am such a strong and loving spirit that my new family will be so lucky to have me in their lives.  I would do best in a household with no other pets or a really active dog friend as I can be a bit much for someone not my speed.  Only those with lots of love to give need apply...are you that lucky family? (Jaeger: German Shepherd, Male, White, DOB 11/07, 65 lbs.)
Z-Diddy	UPDATE:  I am all better!  Off of cage rest and 110% recovered from my heartworm treatment.  I now just need a family - where are you?  I am a mature girl who has a lot of love to give.  I would prefer not to share however so I must be the only dog, please.  But who needs anyone else but little 'ol adorable me!?!  Apply today - I can't wait to love you! + + + + + + + Hi!  My name is Zelda...but my friends call me Z-Diddy (no really...I love that name!).  Rescued in Missouri, I joined the rescue caravan and made my way West and closer to a loving family to adore me.  I have not had an easy life.  One look into my eyes and you can tell I have endured a lot.  The stories I could tell.  I arrived in Colorado heartworm positive and suffering from pneumonia.  I am now under going treatment and am feeling better every day.  My prognosis for recovery from the heartworm (Stage 2) is great so I am now looking forward to my future. I am so grateful to my new rescue family. They are helping me heal - both physically and mentally. I now know what unconditional love feels like...and it feels good. I would do best in a quiet household where I can continue to grow old with dignity and shower my new guardian with lots of love. Are you that special person? Am I the girl for you? Then submit your application today! We'll be so lucky to have each other. (Zelda: Female, German Shepherd/Shiba/Jindo Mix, White, DOB ~01/00, ~45 lbs.) NOTE: Z-Diddy will have her final heartworm treatment on May 11 and will be available for adoption around June 15 (after 30 days of cage rest). If she's not the girl for you, perhaps you would consider a donation for her heartworm treatments. The treatment is expensive and we would appreciate your contribution to Z-Diddy's long and happy future. Thanks for your consideration. Check back for updates on Diddy's recovery.
