Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Meet Briar

This tiny boy may be small in size, but he's HUGE in personality. At almost 3 months old, Briar is a spunky, energetic little guy who keeps everyone on their toes—and often makes you forget just how small he actually is.

As the tiniest of his litter, Briar has learned to make up for it with confidence, curiosity, and a whole lot of playful spirit. He's the one who wants to stay up late playing while everyone else is winding down for naps.

Briar and his siblings were sadly abandoned in a box outside a rural shelter in Oklahoma, but despite that rough start, he is incredibly people-focused and truly craves human attention and connection.
He enjoys the company of other dogs, does well with cats, and is already showing early training progress—working on puppy house training and learning to sit for his meals like a smart little man.

Briar has also fully recovered from kennel cough and is now healthy, happy, and ready for his forever home.
