Who's a LUCKY adopted dog?? Chico (!!), Bailey, Ruby, Peyton, and Jax have all gone home!

Meet the new arrivals who are waiting for their forever homes...

Romeo the 8-wk old border collie mix pup is back out for adoption! Romeo screams "HURRY!" if you are interested- this pup is just terrific, and puppies don't last long!



Kyle is wonderful! We plucked this lucky fellow from Denver animal control yesterday, where he was literally waiting for his life to be saved since pit bulls can't be adopted from their agency. He's very camera shy so we were challenged to get a good photo of this big boy, but to know him is to love him! He's sweet with people and other dogs. 2yr old St. Francis Terrier....



Meet Gracie! This fabulous chocolate/white border collie is 5 yrs old, the *perfect* age for her breed! Gracie is sweet with everyone. She needs to lose a few pounds so if you need a workout buddy, choose Gracie!



Still at IMHS waiting for homes--Clancey and Josie the black Labrador Retrievers (these dogs are perfect! where are all the Lab lovers out there?), Sadie the lab/boxer mix, Star the dachshund mix, Barney the black terrier, and dear Brady, whose situation is becoming quite desperate.

IMHS is open EVERY DAY for adoptions...hurry over--your new best friend is waiting for you!!

Had to throw in some Diesel action for good measure. Anyone able to care for a loveable, big-headed pit bull who loves people and other dogs? Diesel is special...despite that horrible home-scissor job someone did on his ears, he's sweet as he can be, and he's a tennis-ball fetching CHAMP!

SECOND new arrivals update today....our friends at the Denver Animal Control shelter sent a plea for help as they are overcrowded with chihuahuas and in desperate need of help. IMHS rushed to the rescue today, and we took in these two sweet little guys in need of homes:

Max is a chihuahua/terrier mix and this little man is SWEET! What a super nice dog he is...we think he'd be terrific with other dogs, cats, and gentle kids....


And Lucy...Lucy is a red Chihuahua and she is petite pup! This young girl is a spunky puppy at only 7 months of age. She likes other dogs and would do best in a home with mature youth or adults...

Little dogs are a ton of fun and have lots of love to give, too! Come meet the huggable mutts of IMHS any day...we're here every day for adoptions!

CALLING ALL YELLOW LAB LOVERS...Walter's here! This 10-month old purebred Labrador Retriever pup needs a forever home where he'll receive the love, attention, and exercise he needs. He is 79 pounds of pure joy, and love.

Labs are very pack-oriented, bright dogs. They crave companionship with their people and poor Walter was in an unfortunate circumstance in which he was alone for 12 hours a day.

Walter is incredibly sweet, loves kids, dogs and has lived sucessfully with cats, too! Please help spread the word about his need for a forever home...




ADOPT! Your new best friend is waiting for you. IMHS is open EVERY DAY for adoptions...we hope to see you soon!

Frampton, 4 yr old mini poodle, male, very sweet and cuddly, likes people and other dogs...


Irish, 1 1/2 yr old pug/Chihuahua mix female, she wants to be friends but this baby is VERY worried in the shelter and could use some TLC and a low stress permanent home...

...and Benny, what a cutie! This poor boy was left at another local shelter when his previous owner went to jail. Benny is 9 yrs old, compact and adorable, and such a little gentleman! We were called to the rescue today when the other shelter became short on space, and we hope to find a forever home for Benny soon!


Also still at IMHS in need of homes are PACO the Chihuahua, SCAMP the wirehaired dachshund mix, big ROCKY (the fabulous) black lab/pitbull mix, and last but never least TESSA the smartest terrier/shepherd ever!

***Our digital camera "retired" itself today, to our dismay, and we desperately need a new (or gently used) one! If you can help us by donating a camera, we'd be so grateful! We need a digital camera every day for marketing animals for adoption, and maintaining our photo files for newsletters, special reports and such! PLEASE, if you can help...call us today at 303-838-2668 or swing by any day between 8am - 4pm (til 7pm Weds evenings)....thanks so much, everyone!***
