Meet Pepe - courtesy post - urgently needs new home
Meet Pepe!
He’s a wonderful dog whose people have run into some health challenges plus a job change, which forced them to send him to a Pueblo shelter. Because he needs a good new home right away, we’re stepping in to help.
Pepe is a 1-1/2 year-old Lab/Shepherd mix weighing 60 lbs. He loves people and other dogs, and has never had any issues with either. He’s an excited greeter and he really enjoys kids, but because he's tall and still working on some jumpiness when he's excited, he'd do best with older kids for now. He'll also need slow intros with fearful or reactive dogs, but he'd really love another friendly dog in the household to play with.
His ideal home would be with either a couple or family -- and if one of the adults works from home, all the better! His people say a one-person household would be tough for this interactive and curious boy. He loves being part of what people are doing, especially if they're doing adventuring outdoors!
His people have worked with a trainer in Colorado Springs, so Pepe knows his basic cues: sit, down, stay, wait, “with me” for heel/loose leash walking, watch me, leave it, drop it, etc. He’s also been training on impulse control.
Pepe has puppy energy but he’s a sweet, active, eager-to-learn dude. He’s an energetic boy who needs an enclosed backyard or large property to run around in and explore, and adopters who have an active lifestyle.
He enjoys squeaky toys, going for walks and hikes, playing fetch, and learning and interacting with people.
He’s a real cuddle bug who likes to sleep in the bed, although he’s also crate-trained.
For more info and/or to apply to adopt Pepe, see his post on the Pueblo, CO Humane Society's website. Their contact info: [email protected]; 719-544-3005.
Once Pepe is adopted, his adopters are welcome to contact Summit Dog Rescue. We can offer training support and a harness for him.
Please pass this on to anyone you know who can help this great dog. Thanks.

Disclaimer: The companion animal you are interested in is a courtesy post. Summit Dog Rescue often helps dogs and cats outside our organization to find their forever homes, and these are called "courtesy posts.” By courtesy posting pets from owners and other rescues, we offer our website (and sometimes email assistance) as a resouce to help their pet gain extra exposure. The pet’s bio comes directly from the owner or rescue, and we expect them to provide accurate information, to the best of their knowledge. Summit Dog Rescue in most cases has not met or evaluated these companion animals, so no information about a courtesy post dog or cat is guaranteed. We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or damages to any person or property caused by any courtesy post animals. Courtesy post pets are the sole responsibility of the owner and the adopter. In addition, SDR cannot take these pets in if the courtesy post adoption does not work out.
Also, although we occasionally might ask you to email us (if you’re interested in adopting a courtesy post pet), it’s just so we can help the owner or rescue connect with applicants. You’ll be adopting your new pet directly from the owner or the other rescue, not from Summit Dog Rescue. Please let us know if you’re comfortable with us sharing your information with the owner of the courtesy post pet.
