Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Sweet, gentle, and full of love—meet Brad (aka Thorn)

This tiny boy is almost 3 months old and is truly the definition of a little sweetheart. While his littermates may bring the chaos, Thorn is the one bringing the calm—laid back, loving, and happiest just hanging out with his people.

Don't let his small size fool you—this little guy has a big heart. He may grow to be medium-sized, but right now he's the perfect compact cuddle buddy who just wants to be close. He and his litter mates were abandoned in a pampers box on shelter doorstep but despite that, he craves human attention.

Thorn enjoys other dogs, does well with cats, and is already learning the ropes of puppy life. He's working on potty training and has started learning to sit for his meals like a very good boy.
He and his siblings were sadly abandoned in a box, but you'd never know it from how much he loves people. Thorn truly craves connection and affection—he's ready to bond deeply with his forever family.
