Tater
Went home: 4/10/18
|
Tater is a 2 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix. He was found as a stray and no one has come to claim him. Tater is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever met, which is really saying something. He loves to cuddle and get his bell rubbed and be pet, really any kind of attention from a person will do. You can't really see it from this picture, but he is one of the stockiest and squattiest dogs we have right now. Tater weighs about 62 lbs. and is a really strong boy so we are strongly pushing him for great leash manners. Tater also snorts A LOT which is super funny and pretty cute! He needs to be the only dog in the home, but would be fine with kids and a bunch of people. He is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on his vaccinations for $99. Tater has been at the shelter since 4/03/18. Tater has been adopted!

Indira
Went home: 4/05/18
|
Indira is a 1 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix. She is super sweet once she gets to know you, but can be a little nervous at first (it is most likely the noise and stress of the kennel). Indira was brought in by Animal Protection after she was abandoned by her owner and left in the building. She gets along well with other dogs, and would do best in a home with another dog. She loves hot dogs, but is still very nervous in the shelter and needs to be able to do things on her own time. Indira is much more comfortable with women,she is pretty timid and scared around men. We are hoping to work on her with that, as soon as she is comfortable enough to. She is spayed, micro-chipped, and up to date on her vaccinations for $99. Indira has been at the shelter since 3/22/18. Indira has been adopted!

Bell
Went home: 3/31/18
|
Bell is a 1 year old American Pit Bull Terrier/ Retriever/Mix. She probably has multiple different breeds in her. Bell was returned because she did not fit in with her previous family, specifically their other dog when they were fed together. Bell is GREAT with other dogs, she is paired with another dog in her kennel, plays amazing in a group, and will even share her toys with other dogs. She just needs to be fed separate from other dogs, which we recommend for EVERY multi-dog household. Bell loves people and is great with kids as well. She can be a little shy at first, but playing a game of fetch or giving her some treats helps her warm up quickly. We are working with Bell on her basic commands, leash manners, and confidence skills in busy environments, such as the humane society thrift store. She loves to play with any and all toys, but is great with sharing them with everyone. Bell has been spayed, micro-chipped, and is up to date on her vaccinations for $99. Bell has been at the shelter since 2/23/18. Come in, meet Bell, and adopt her! Bell has been adopted!

Kissie
Went home: 3/31/18
|
Kissie is a 5 year 1 month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix. She was surrendered because her owner was moving and unable to keep her. She gets along well with other dogs, can live with cats and would make a great cuddle bug. She is okay with older kids, but younger children make her nervous. She does get anxious when left alone, so she needs to be kenneled or she will chew up anything she can, including cats. Kissie is house trained and crate trained. as well. She loves to snuggle and cuddle more then she likes to run and hike. She does have arthritis in her knees, so she is on supplements to help the pain. She knows many commands such as sit, down, leave it, shake, come, and salute. We are helping her remember her leash manners, and we hope to get her Canine Good Citizens certified. Kissie would do great in a calmer or more mellow home with a nice couch and dog bed to lay on. She is already spayed, micro-chipped, and up to date on her vaccinations for $99. Kissie has been at the shelter since 3/17/18. Kissie has bee adopted!

Harley
Went home: 3/28/18
|
Harley is a 1 year old Husky/ Pit Bull/ Shiba Inu mix. Interesting, right? We think Harley is from the same litter as former PFP dog Elias (can be found on happy tails page) mostly because they look the exact same, came in labeled the same breed by former owners, and are the same age. Harley was surrendered because his owner did not have enough time to give him the care and attention he deserves. He is what we are thinking of as a perfect dog. He's great with other dogs, cats, and kids. He is also house trained and crate trained. Harley is working on his basic commands, and we hope once he masters these along with a few other behaviors he'll be able to pass his CGC. He loves treats and playing with toys. Harley would do best in an active family, as he's still a young pup with a bunch of energy. He is still pretty green, he hasn't had a ton of training prior to being here. Harley is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on his vaccinations for $99. Harley has been at the shelter since 3/17/18. Harley has been adopted!

Micah
Went home: 3/23/18
|
Micah is a 3 year old American Pit Bull/ Shar-Pei mix. He was a transfer from Soul Dog Rescue, where he was found in an Animal Control Office on the Navajo reservation. He can be a little picky with his dog friends, but still plays in a group of dogs. Micah is super sweet, and is a total cuddle bug. Micah came in with what is known as cherry eye. Our shelter La Plata County Humane Society operated to fix this so Micah is now cherry eye free. Micah is a great dog,, but needs help with being comfortable around a bunch of people or being in a new area. He is still very shy when in a busy environment, such as the humane society thrift store, and we are working him a lot in there right now. He is also working on some basic behaviors, such as sit, stay, come, and leave it. He is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on his vaccinations for $99. Micah has been at the shelter since 12/21/17. Micah has been adopted!

Lilly
Went home: 3/23/18
|
Lilly is a 1 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix. She was found in the Bisti Wilderness area, and was brought to the shelter by some kind people who knew we would be able to find her a new home. When they originally found her, the shelter was very full and they were asked to hang onto her for a couple days until more dogs got adopted and we had a space for her. While they were temporarily keeping her, they fell in love and were able to learn a lot about this super sweet girl. Lilly has no problems with cats and absolutely adores kids. She did, however, have a little problem living with their small dog. She was fine when on a walk, but found some difficulties in the house. This could be caused by many factors, Lilly was in heat when they found her, and their current 3 dogs can be a bit unbalanced when it comes to adding other dogs into their house. Once Lilly arrived at the shelter, she was put into a play group with numerous dogs. Her main "problem" right now is she does not know how to play with other dogs, so she gets a little nervous when other dogs run around or come up to her. She is quickly learning and we think she will have no problem pretty soon. This super sweet girl loves to cuddle with any and everyone. She sometimes thinks she is a lap dog, and has no problem crawling up onto you lap. She would thrive in a home who loved to cuddle and snuggle with her. Lilly has since been spayed, micro-chipped, and is now up to date on her vaccinations for $99. Lilly has been at the shelter since 3/12/18. Lilly has been adopted!

Mario
Went home: 3/23/18
|
Mario is a 5 year 2 month old American Pit Bull Terrier/ Shar Pei mix. This amazing boy was returned to the shelter because he was showing some discomforts around their kids, including all of the children that walked by his house when leaving or going to school. He was originally transferred in from a rescue group in the Navajo Reservation, where he evidently did not have the best life. Mario has made some progress with confidence building, but still has a long way to go. He would do best with a dog experienced family, and someone who is willing to show lots of patients with him and how he learns to handle himself in the world. Mario is good with other dogs, but can be picky in some situations. With people he is comfortable with (Which includes us at PFP) he is an amazing dog. He does this cute little dance when you walk past his kennel, and occasionally howls when super excited. Mario would do best in a home with another strong and confident dog, he tends to learn towards other dogs for support during a situation that makes him nervous. Mario is house trained and crate trained, but may chew up some stuff when left alone for a while. HE does need to go to a kid-free home, but has no problems living with cats. Mario is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on his vaccinations for $99. He has been at the shelter this time since 3/13/18. Come by and visit Mario, he's one of the sweetest boys you'll meet! Mario has been adopted!

Melody
Went hone: 3/05/18
|
Melody is a 2 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix. She was returned to the shelter because she did not like the grandchildren of the family. Melody is great with other dogs, but needs to go to a kid-free home. She is house trained and trusted indoors unsupervised. Melody has a medical condition known as epilepsy, so it is very important she gets medication every day to prevent and manage her seizures. If she does not get this medication, it can be life threatening. Because of this, many people have overlooked her, which we think is unfair towards her. Melody is spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on her vaccinations for $99. She has been at the shelter since 2/24/18. Melody has been adopted!

Gotti
Went home: 2/24/18
|
Gotti is a 4 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix, who came from a cruelty case on the reservation. He was found with a chain embedded in his neck, but it has since healed. . He is very food motivated and loves to eat. Gotti is still stressed out in the shelter environment, and can be very reactive. He recently pent some time at the shelter trainer's house, where we discovered what an awesome dog he is. Gotti gets along great with other dogs when he is out of the shelter, but is still very stressed out when he is at the shelter. Gotti is learning some basic manners, as well as appropriate leash manners and walking past other dogs. He is really sweet once he is comfortable with where he is. Gotti is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on his vaccinations for $99. Gotti has been at the shelter since 1/05/17, but hasn't been up for adoption until the end of January. Gotti has been adopted!

Sadie
Went home: 2/24/18
|
Sadie is a 1 year 4 month old Pit Bull Terrier/ Rough Collie/ Mix. There is a high chance that multiple breeds make up the Sadie we know and love. She was surrendered to the shelter because her previous owner did not have time to care for her or work on some of her behaviors. Sadie is what we call a "green" dog, meaning she has a great temperament but has not had any training yet so she's got a lot to learn. Sadie can be a little shy at first, but we are working on her socialization and she is getting better every day. She is also learning some basic commands, as well as how to properly behave on a leash and walk past distractions appropriately. She is great with kids of all ages (she temporarily lived with toddlers and was awesome) but needs to go to a home without cats. Sadie has not yet mastered the art of potty training, but is a quick learner and we believe that it should be fairly simple for her new owners to teach her. She is great in the car, and loves to be taken on rides. Sadie is spayed, micro-chipped, and up to date on her vaccinations for $99. Sadie has been at the shelter since 2/9/18. Sadie has been adopted!

Arnie
Went home: 2/20/2018
|
Arnie is an almost 3 month old Pt Bull Terrier mix. He was found as a stray and no one has come to claim him. This sweet boy is shaping up to be a good sized dog and we are thinking he is going to be on the heavier side of pitties. He is great with other dogs and kids, and should have no problem with cats. He already has a great automatic sit and is working on down and easy leash manners. Since he is a puppy, there is very little we can say about his personalty in the long run, but right now he's an awesome happy go lucky pup. Arnie is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on his vaccines for $149. Arie has been adopted!

Rolo
Went home: 2/17/18
|
Rolo is a 3 year old American Pit Bull terrier mix. This sweet boy was found as a stray and no one came to claim him, so he is not up for adoption. Rolo is a sweet boy once he gets to know you, and loves to cuddle and be pet. He is ok with other dogs, but needs to be introduced in a special way or he will become stressed out and does not do well. Some people say he has a face only a mother could love, but he has a fantastic personality once he's comfortable around you. Rolo loves to lay in the some and would be well suited as a couch dog. He is working on learning some new commands, and then we will hopefully t=run hi through his CGC test. Rolo is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on his vaccinations for $99. Rolo has been at the shelter since 1/06/17. Rolo has been adopted!

Forest
Went home: 2/16/18
|
Forest is a 10 month old American Pit Bull Terrier mix. This amazing boy was found as a stray and no one came to claim him. Forest is fantastic with other dogs and loves people as well! He received an "A" on his temperament test, meaning he is ready to be adopted and would fit in a variety of homes. Forest would love to go to an active home, one that would take him on lots of walks, runs and hikes. He would not do well as a dog who is given little exercise or is left alone for extremely long periods of time. Forest is learning his basics and maintaining his good leash manners. Once we are confident in this guy and he has learned some harder skills, we will work to get him his Canine Good Citizen award. Forest is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on his vaccinations for $99. Forest has been at the shelter since 1/25/18. Forest has been adopted!

Elias
Went home: 2/11/18
|
Elias is a 1 year old Pit Bull Terrier/Husky/ Shiba Inu mix. While that might sound like a bizarre mix, most of it is based off of looks and behavior traits similar to those breeds. Basically, we have very little idea of what his breed heritage is. Elias was brought to the the shelter when his previous owner abandoned him in his old apartment, until the landlord found him. The landlord was able to care for him temporarily, but later realized he needed to surrender Elias. While he was caring for this pup, he learned that Elias was crate trained, and in the process of being house trained. Elias loves to play with toys, especially balls. He is also great with other dogs and would do great in a multi-dog household. Elias can be a little nervous at first, but warms up quickly, even quicker when treats are involved. This amazing boy loves to have his ears rubbed, and will lean on you while you rub them. He has been neutered, micro-chipped and is up to date on his vaccines for $99. Elias has been at the shelter since 1/27/17. Elias has been adopted!

Spock
|
|
Spock is a 2 month old American Pit Bull Terrier mix.. This sweet boy was transferred from a local animal rescue organization called Durango Animal Connections. Spock got his name after a birth defect which caused his front right paw deformed. While this is not a major health problem for him, he is a little slower and more clumsy then some other puppies (what puppy ISN"T clumsy though). Spock is one of the cutest and snuggliest puppies we have met in a while, and he is determined to not let his paw slow him down. Spock is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on his vaccinations for $149. Spock has been at the shelter since 2/01/18. Spock has been adopted!

Daisy
Went home: 1/26/18
|
Daisy is a 2 year old American Pit Bull Terrier/ Heeler mix. She was a transfer from the Southern Ute Animal Control office. She is good with other dogs, and is more of a rough and rowdy player. Daisy is super sweet, and is working on mastering her basic commands, as well as appropriate leash manners and being polite in a crowd of people. Once she has these down, we would love to get her CGC certified. She would do good in a home with older children, ones who respect her and don't pull her tail or grab her ears. Really, what dog wants that? This sweet girl is very excitable and is still learning how to adjust to a shelter environment. She was spayed when she came in, and is now micro-chipped and up to date on her vaccinations for $99. Daisy has been adopted!

Taz
Went home: 1/25/18
|
Taz is a 4 year old American Pit Bull Terrier/ Heeler mix. This big boy is very friendly, and loves to meet new people. He is a return to the shelter because his owner passed away and no one could care for him. He was brought in with another dog who he is very attached to, but she was adopted and he was not. He misses her very much and cries a lot, which is understandable for him seeing he just lost his owner and his best friend and lifelong playmate. We are recommending Taz go into a home with an existing dog, preferable female. He has no problem with males, but his old friend was a female which we hope might help him feel better. He is great with other dogs, and loves to play with groups. This big boy is 80 pounds of sweetness, although with a little diet he could slim down to 75 pounds. Taz loves to play with the ball and other toys, and is currently refreshing his basic manners. Once he has these mastered, we hope to CGC Taz. He is already neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on his vaccinations. Taz has been at the shelter since 1/02/18. Taz has been adopted!

She also needs to go to a cat-free home, but would love to go to a home with kids! She is already house trained, and is trusted indoors unsupervised for a reasonable amount of time. Callie has a leaky bladder, so she is on medication to prevent her from accidentally peeing everywhere.

Went home: 1/07/18
