EXTENSION CENSUS DEADLINE CLOSE OF BUSINESS Tuesday MARCH 10, 2026 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION OR FOSTER Name: Denver Animal ID: A881803 Age: 2 y/o Weight: 50.5lbs Web Link: https://24Petconnect.com/DetailsMain/PIMA/A881803 About: Denver’s deadline is being extended through the end of business today due to a possible interested party. While the first meet and greet with one of the initial IPs unfortunately did not work out, we want to allow time for the remaining interest to be fully explored. If you love the Rocky Mountains but the altitude doesn’t quite agree with you, we have another option for your adventuring needs: Meet Denver the doggo! This energetic youngster is eager to assist with all your outdoor activities. With a bit of training and guidance, he’s ready to be your hiking buddy or overlanding amigo—you name it! While Denver has an adventurous spirit, it is important to know that he is a sensitive soul who needs a patient partner. Denver can be an incredibly sweet boy, but meeting new people is a big deal for him. He starts off very nervous and requires plenty of time and very tasty treats to start winning him over. The key to his heart is always working at Denver’s pace. Because he is so sensitive, he will need ample time to decompress in a new home. His new family must be committed to never forcing interactions; this means no baths, nail trims, or invasive handling that he hasn’t consented to while he is still building trust. By respecting his boundaries and letting him lead the way, you’ll get to see the side of him that staff and volunteers have fallen in love with: • “Denver was a gentleman on our first date. He walked perfectly around the park without pulling and sat pretty for pictures. He is such a good boy!” • “On our walk, Denver was calm and easy to leash. He walked on a loose leash most of the time and was very comfortable with me petting his back.” • “I took Denver out and oh my goodness, he was such a sweetie! He was catching treats straight out of the air. After our walk, he requested snuggles by putting his paws up on my treat pouch for head pats and neck scratches. If the chair had been big enough, I’m sure he would have crawled all the way into my lap!” When he isn’t soliciting snuggles from his inner circle, Denver loves spending his time outdoors—whether it’s a long hike or just chasing toys around a yard. Denver has been tolerant and independent when meeting other dogs in playgroups, but he would like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. If you are a patient adventurer looking for a loyal expedition associate, ask to meet Denver today! Available for foster care (2+ weeks) or adoption through PACC. Interested parties: Must visit PACC before the COB Tuesday March 10, 2026 deadline to meet with a counselor who will review notes and introduce you to the dog to ensure that it’s a good fit. Some dogs may also require an introduction to any dogs they may potentially live with. Home Management Plan 1) Bite History • Minor bite to finder, did not break skin. Dog was at their front door that tried to bite her when she went outside, it growled and bit at her hand but it didn't break skin. 2) DOG INTRO REQUIRED: • Due to over correction in Playgroup and numerous previous failed merge attempts 3) Dog Selective: • Must meet all dogs in the home prior to adoption. • Selective dogs like to choose their friends; they may like some dogs and dislike others. • Muzzle training can be a useful tool for initial introductions to new dogs. • NO DOG PARKS. 4) Possible Resource Guarding Space From Dogs: • Ensure each dog has their own space. • Do not force dogs into each other's space 5) Stranger Danger: • Your new dog is uncomfortable around new people. They may bark, snap, or flee. • They need a slow introduction to new people. Muzzle training is recommended for safe introductions. • Needs a safe place to be away from new people coming into the home. • Your new dog will do best going for walks in low-traffic areas where it is quiet. 6) Possible In Shelter Decline • Due to shelter stress, they have been declining with other dogs • They will need time to decompress in a home and re-adjust to life outside of the shelter. • They may be overstimulated for the first few days after leaving the shelter.
