@little_dash_of_whiskey & Carrie

We got Whiskey when she was only 6 weeks old and a tiny 4lbs. She is mine and my boyfriend's first dog together. I say she picked us cause when my boyfriend held her the first time she just kept licking his face! (Which she has done everyday since) But taking care of her was a battle from the beginning. She had health issues almost from day one with us, but luckily nothing too crazy and we pushed through and took care of her every step of the way. She has now grown into a beautiful 50 lbs of Love,...


@charlie_the_brown_pup & Laura

Charlie is the sweetest dog I have ever met! She is a rescue as well! I got her at 7-8weeks old and fell in love with her instantly!

She is my "partner in crime " we go everywhere together! From beach, pool, hikes, when she was a baby I would even take her to my college classes with me because I thought she was too young to be home alone. I work at a vet, so all my days at work she came with me and started to be know as the clown of the vet, with her...


@lifewithtucker & Chandra

My husband and I got married in 1996, in 1997 we adopted a dog from a puppy rescue here in CO. His name was Riley. Riley lived with us and our 4 kids until 2008, when he crossed the rainbow bridge. When we lost Riley, my husband and kids were crushed. We vowed we'd never get another dog, because when they pass, it's just too hard.

And we didn't.

But fast-forward to Oct 2011, and puppy fever hit us hard. The Humane Society of Boulder Valley(HSBV) had some puppies come in on the PetSmart Rescue Wagon(PSRW) and they...


@lioneltheridgebackdobiemix, #princesskatie & Amanda

Both Lionel and Katie were adopted. We got Lionel first. He was 7 years old and had been in the shelter for 18 months. I had lost my job and had some free time and was getting pretty depressed so I thought volunteering at our local shelter might cheer me up and help dogs in need while filling my free time...so I went to fill out an application and looked at the dogs while I was there. As soon as I saw Lionel, I thought my boyfriend would love him. My boyfriend went to meet him a day later and the...


@blitznbane & Alejandra

Blitz is a three year staffordshire bull terrier and Bane is a one year old American staffordshire terrier.

Blitz was our first pitbull and completely changed our minds about their breed. Blitz is the sweetest baby ever. He loves to cuddle and to give kisses. He likes to think that he’s the worlds greatest guard dog but as soon as anyone walks through the door he’s a complete mush. He also has the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen. He will most likely give you kisses until he has successfully licked your lips off.  Bane is a loving,...
