Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Denver, Colorado

Meet Lolis!

At just 10 months old, this beautiful shepherd mix has already come so far. Lolis was found wandering the streets of Cleveland, TX, searching for food—but today, she’s safe, loved, and learning what it means to be part of a family. And she is truly the sweetest soul.

Lolis is a calm, gentle, low-maintenance girl who absolutely ADORES belly rubs and soaking up affection from her people (kids included!). She’s crate trained, loves to relax, and is happiest just being near you.

She gets along well with other dogs in her foster home and even enjoys visits from a calm senior lab next door. That said, Lolis can be a little timid and unsure, especially on walks—so slow, thoughtful introductions to new dogs will be important for her success.

Like many pups who haven’t had an easy start, Lolis is still building her confidence. She can be shy at times, but with patience, love, and a few tasty treats (she’s very food motivated), she continues to blossom more every single day.

Her ideal home will:

-Be patient and supportive as she grows her confidence
-Continue her basic training (she’s already off to a great start!)
-Offer lots of love… and belly rubs, of course
-Possibly have a calm, friendly dog to show her the ropes (not required)

Lolis is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. She is ready to start her next chapter. Lolis is that special kind of dog, the quiet, gentle one who just wants to feel safe and loved. And once she does, her sweetness shines in the most beautiful way.

If you’re interested in adopting Lolis, apply online at www.uppupandaway.org. Meet and greets only happen once approved as an adopter. If you’re already an approved adopter or foster, feel free to DM your interest.
