Chinakhov / Dewey

General Notes | Hailing from Arkansas and recently making his way to Colorado, Dewey is the kind of soul who makes the world feel a little softer just by being in it. This sweet, gentle puppy is still discovering his place in the big, wide world, and he approaches everything with a quiet, observant grace that is impossible not to fall in love with. Dewey is a little on the shy side, but once he knows he is safe, he blossoms into the most adoring companion you could ask for. He isn’t the type to bark for attention; instead, he will gently lean against your leg or rest his chin on your hand just to let you know he’s happy you’re there. He is looking for a patient, loving heart to help him gain his confidence, and in return, he promises a lifetime of quiet loyalty and heartfelt companionship. If you are looking for a steady, sweet, and soul-deep friend to grow up with, Dewey is waiting for you to lead the way.Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us.

To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process. We will not respond to emails about animal availability or allow meet and greets without an approved adoption application on file. Please Note | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption. We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved.  Your application is good for one year from the date of applying for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle. We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!
