A happy tail is the sign that a good dog has found a home

What began with the Denver dogs of Western Australian Shepherd Rescue continues with Colorado Herding Dog Rescue. Below are kind words of grateful guardians and our growing pack of happy herding dogs that found a forever home—over 165 pups and counting!

I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything with Wesley (now named Timber!). He’s absolutely perfect and I love him so much! He’s been settling in so well and I love him to death, thank you for everything and helping me find him:). He really is the absolute best!
