*Shelby the Great Dane and Mountain Cur Mix: Duo Dog of Month for June 2011

Hi there! My name is Shelby, I am a mix between a Great Dane and Mountain Cur (Google it) – or so my vet tells me based on my unique markings.

I was found by my parents on February 15th, 2011 which is the anniversary of when they started dating. I was rescued from a high-kill shelter in San Antonio, TX and was thrilled when we quickly moved to Colorado, where my parents are originally from. They started dating at a local spot called Shelby’s – hence my awesome name – and yes it can be a boys name too!

I have loved every day in Colorado so far, especially our home in the mountains and the snow; I have so much fun in the snow! I have a ton of energy and love to play with my toys. Some of them last longer than others because I like to play rough, so often get new ones. When I go to the dog park, none of the other dogs believe that I am only 5 months old at first because I am quite big, but then they see my puppy tendencies when I begin to play.

Everyone tends to fall in love with me as soon as they meet me…my personality is quite magnetic!

Delilah the MaxFund Hound Mix: Duo Dog of Month for October 2010

Delilah
Nice to meet you, my name is Delilah and much like the radio host I can make you fall in love… WITH ME! I am a Hound mix, about 3 years old.

I enjoy long walks, long leashes and long belly rubs. I am a pretty silly gal who gets along with basically any human young and old, and almost all dogs as well. There are a few critters that I am not compatible with including cats, squirrels and even small dogs. Basically, any small animal that may be fun to chase after and catch is not safe around me, so please do not try to make me live with one. The hound in me is very strong and I just can’t help but follow the voice in my head that tells me to “chase it, chase it, catch it!” when I come across such a creature. However, as long as you have me on a leash I will follow your rules and show you how obedient I am, especially if there are treats involved! I sit very well for a treat! Not to mention, being a hound gives me the cutest puppy eyes and ears that flap around when I run, making it look like I could take off flying with enough speed!

If you are impressed by these skills then you should also know that I am the best “sniffer” in town! I can lead the way on any trail by following the scents of nature all around me! Sometimes I even try to sniff under water! That never seems to work out though; I just end up blowing bubbles and getting my ears all wet. That’s okay though, I am always up for an adventure because there is just so much more for me to explore!

I hope there is someone as easygoing and loving as I am who wants to listen to the soothing sounds of “hoooooooooooowl!” as we go through our life’s adventures together. Maybe it could be you! You can view my adoption profile here!

Baxter the Sharpei/Shepherd: Duo Dog of the Month August 2010

Baxer was adopted from the Boulder Humane Society when he was 14 weeks old. He is an almost 3 year old Sharpei/Shepherd mix (and perhaps also Ridgeback). Since Baxer is somewhat unsure of his heritage, he will get a DNA test for Christmas this year! His personality is sweet, stubborn and he gets puppy A.D.D at times. Baxer's favorite game is to play ball.

Kaia is an 18-month-old German Shepherd little girl. She spends the majority of her day playing fetch with her favorite toys chicken and elephant. Kaia passionately looks forward to her walks in the park, but mostly her hikes in the beautiful Colorado mountains. Kaia is very talented, she can do the basic tricks sit, down, stay - but her signature trick is picking up her toys and putting them in the "toy box". The most gentle loving and beautiful girl around.
