Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Durango, Colorado

Meet Cricket



At 10 years old, this sweet shepherd mix never imagined she'd be starting over.



Cricket recently lost her mom, and now her dad is in hospice care. With no one left to care for her, she had to say goodbye to the only home she's ever known. In just a few short months, her whole world has changed—and now she's looking for someone to help her feel safe again.



Despite everything she's been through, Cricket is gentle, kind, and doing her best to take it all in stride. She's been good with other dogs and cats, and more than anything, she just wants a soft place to land and someone to love her through this next chapter.



Right now, Cricket is also dealing with some medical concerns—she's showing signs of a possible UTI, bladder infection, or urinary incontinence. She'll be seeing our vet Wednesday morning to get answers and start treatment, but we know we'll need support to get her feeling comfortable and healthy again.



Here's how you can help Cricket: Foster – Give her a quiet, cozy place to decompress while we get her medical needs sorted

Adopt – Offer her the loving retirement home she deserves

Donate – Help cover her upcoming vet visit, diagnostics, and any medications she may need



Cricket has lost so much—but she still has so much love left to give. Let's come together and show her that her story doesn't end here



If you can foster, adopt, or donate toward Cricket's care, please reach out.
