Oreo is a Slow Burn Dog. Capital S, capital B.

He's not going to sprint across the room and launch himself at you the first time you meet. He's not going to gaze up at you with his whole heart on day one. He's going to sit across the room, look you over, and think about it. Maybe for a while.

Oreo has been at our shelter longer than any other dog here, and in that time he has developed opinions. Standards, even. He watches. He weighs. He does not hand out his trust like it's a free sample at Costco.

But here's what happens when you pass the vibe check.

He starts following you around. Not in a weird way, but in the way that means you've been promoted to Favorite Person. He leans into you when you sit down. He brings you things. Toys, mostly because Oreo is a toy guy, a "this is my ball, and I would like you to throw it approximately eight hundred more times" guy.

He's housebroken. Crate-trained. Good with other dogs. Polite in the way that matters.
He just needs you to give him a minute.

That's the thing about trust that's actually been earned. It means something.

Oreo needs someone patient, someone steady, someone who isn't going to take it personally that he didn't immediately lose his mind over them. If you've ever been the kind of person who takes a while to warm up too, honestly? You might be exactly who he's looking for.

Come meet Oreo. He doesn’t fall fast, but when he does, it’s real, and it’s yours. https://www.hsppr.org/pet/a1784381/

Storm drain: 0. Tiny kitten: 1.

When Animal Law Enforcement Officer Wilson responded to a call about a kitten trapped in a storm drain, it wasn’t as simple as reaching down and scooping the little one up. The frightened kitten had hidden deep inside the pipe and couldn’t even be seen at first.

Officer Wilson got creative, using food and some careful maneuvering with his equipment to coax the kitten closer. The moment the tiny feline stepped into position, he safely secured the kitten and pulled him to safety.

Once out of the drain, it became clear this little survivor needed more help. The kitten is battling an upper respiratory infection and was unable to see, but is now receiving plenty of TLC from our veterinary team.

From the community member who made the call, to Officer Wilson’s patience and quick thinking, to our veterinary staff providing care, this tiny life is getting the second chance they deserve.

We’ll be rooting for this little fighter every step of the way.

Tiny paws. Big responsibility. Endless rewards.

Kitten season is here, and our tiniest residents need your help.

Neonatal kittens are some of the most vulnerable animals we care for. They require bottle feedings, warmth, and lots of love around the clock—and they simply can't do it without foster families.

You don't need to be an expert. We'll provide training, supplies, and support every step of the way. All you need is a little time and a big heart.

Whether you're a seasoned foster or have been thinking about trying it for the first time, now is the perfect time to make a life-saving difference. Every bottle fed, every ounce gained, and every purr is because someone like you said "yes."

Ready to become a hero for homeless kittens?

Hello, humans. Pawl McCartney here.

I've had a bit of a *long and winding road.*

I arrived at HSPPR as a stray, so the truth is nobody knows much about my early days. What I can tell you is that I've seen a thing or two. I've got some old scars, a little street cred, and until recently, a badly injured front leg that was causing me a lot of trouble.

The veterinary team decided my best path forward was amputation. And let me tell you - what a relief. I was already getting around on three legs before surgery, so joining the official tripod club wasn't too much of an adjustment. These days, I'm hopping around just fine and feeling better than ever.

Now that my street-touring days are behind me, I'm ready to settle into retirement. My dream lifestyle includes soft beds, regular meals, air conditioning, and people who think I'm the most handsome guy in the room. (They're usually correct.)

Since I came to HSPPR as a stray, my caregivers don't know how I feel about children or other animals just yet. If you've got resident pets or little humans, slow introductions will help us get acquainted at my pace.

I've also earned the right to be a little selective about my accommodations. A home with minimal stairs would be ideal, and ramps are always appreciated by a distinguished tripod gentleman such as myself.

What you'll get in return? A sweet, resilient dog with plenty of love left to give and a personality that's still writing its greatest hits.

So, what do you say? Are you ready to help me leave my street-dog era behind and embrace the indoor luxury life?

All you need is love... and maybe a few treats. ❤️🐾

I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Bailee!

I'm an 8-year-old pup looking for a family to call my own and a comfy couch where I can show off my expert napping skills.

My favorite things include long walks, playing chase, squeaky toys, belly rubs, and spending time outdoors. I've also been told I have a pretty great smile, and I'm always happy to share it with new friends.

I've lived with children before and enjoyed their company. While I can be a little nervous around some men at first, I warm up quickly when given the time and space to get comfortable. I've lived with other animals too, but I'd prefer to be the only dog in my home so I can soak up all the attention for myself.

At 8 years old, I've found the perfect balance between adventure buddy and couch companion. Whether we're heading out for a walk or settling in for a relaxing afternoon, I'm happiest just being with my people.

I've been waiting patiently to meet my new family and am still hoping for my very first visitor.

Come visit me and see if we'd be a good fit. I'd love the chance to make you smile as much as you make me smile.

Calling all former HSPPR residents (and honestly, all pets everywhere).

We'd love a little life update.

The last time we saw many of our adopted pets, they were looking for families. These days, we're guessing they're busy serving in important household roles such as:

• Director of Squirrel Surveillance
• Chief Crumb Cleanup Officer
• Senior Couch Comfort Specialist
• Neighborhood Barking Consultant
• Executive Director of Following People Into Bathrooms

You know. Essential work.

If your pet is an HSPPR alum, share a photo in the comments and tell us their current job title.

And if your pet didn't come from HSPPR, we'd still love to meet them. Every household needs a dedicated Snack Inspector or Professional Sunbeam Napper.

Our staff loves seeing pets thriving in their homes, and we'd love to fill the comments with happy faces, wagging tails, and a few very important employees.

Drop a photo below and tell us: What's your pet's current position?

Hi, I'm Harley!

I'm looking for a family that can keep up with my playful side and appreciate my professional-level napping skills.

My favorite things include playing fetch, getting scratches behind my ears, and curling up in my crate for a cozy snooze after a busy day. Speaking of crates, I'm already crate-trained and potty-trained, so I've got some of the important stuff figured out.

I've lived with children and another dog before, and while I'm ready for my next adventure, I'm hoping to find a patient and active family who will help me settle into my new home.

If you're looking for a best friend who can be your playmate, walking buddy, and couch companion all in one, I think we should meet.

What do you say? Could my new home be with you?

WOW. You did it.

Yesterday, during our very first Day of Giving, this incredible community came together for animals in a big way. Thanks to your generosity, we raised more than $42,500 to support homeless, injured, and vulnerable pets right here in our community. And the first $25,000 of that was matched by Hill’s Pet Nutrition!

Because of you, animals like Dixie will receive the medical care, second chances, and love they deserve.

Every donation, every share, every comment, and every person who helped spread the word made a difference. We are especially grateful to Hill's Pet Nutrition for their generous matching gift, which helped your support go even further for animals in need.

The impact of your kindness will be felt long after yesterday. It will be felt in every wagging tail, every healing patient, every safe night's sleep, and every happy adoption story still waiting to be written.

From all of us at Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region—and from the thousands of animals who will benefit from your compassion—thank you for making our first Day of Giving such a success.

We couldn't do this work without you.
