Meet JR. This social and easy-going 14-year-old kitty has been waiting patiently and is now ready to find his new forever home. JR is chatty and affectionate and loves to be in the company of people. This mature kitty will likely do well with a polite dog but would prefer to be the only kitty in his new home. Do you think you could be his perfect match? Come in for a visit with this lovely boy today! JR is available for adoption at the Longmont Humane Society....
Meet Chocolate, a 13-year-old ShihTzu-poodle, and Caribou, a seven-year old Alaskan Malamute, who live with companion Cindy Silvis.

This job entails walking the county open space trails and greeting guests while reminding them of the rules, such as keeping dogs on leash. When Bryn isn't wearing her official green "Bark Ranger" scarf, she chases her dog sister, sleeps, and begs for cookies!...
This is Jax, twin brother to last week's Mist. He can be a little shy but is a very loving boy who enjoys cuddles, treats, scratches behind the ears and staring into your soul. He's more than happy to sit and spend slightly too much time watching you, thinking how lucky he is to know you. Jax isn't interested in playing fetch like other dogs, he's not even interested in other dogs-he would much rather spend time with his sister and his human family....
This is Mist, a 9-year-old Sheltie pup who looks like she's all sugar and spice, but is super spunky. During one car trip, not only did she snub a complimentary treat from a friendly banker, she also jumped up on the dashboard of her owner's car. Hunkered down beneath the windshield, Mist refused to move back to the safety of the passenger seat or floorboard. Think Mayhem from the Allstate commercial, but cuter. Despite all this, Mist is a loving dog who enjoys naps in the sun and playing with...
Featured this week is Iggy, who resides in Niwot with companions Dawn and Jeff Server of Meadow Lake Honey. Writes Jeff, "Iggy the bee cat watches over his realm from his favorite warm spot near the barn. He enjoys chasing down voles, field mice and an occasional tomato hornworm caterpillar. We call him the bee cat because he likes to hang out with us while we work the beehives out in back. Not sure if he's got a taste for honey, but he does love popcorn."...
Blizzard (Blizzie) is an extra small (8.5 lbs.) miniature schnauzer who lives with her human companions Dave and Rhonda Curran. Writes Rhonda, "Her parents were named Snow and Ice. She's been our little princess here in Niwot for 15 years. She still loves taking walks - but on her terms: temperature not too cold and not too hot. With the way she gets around and continues to wag her stubby tail, you'd be surprised to know she can't see or hear much of anything. Her senses of taste and smell...
Mica and Kira are both true snow dogs and love nothing more than romping in fresh powder. Mica and Kira live in southwest Longmont with their humans Linnie and Ben. Mica is a nine-year-old Border Collie mix and Kira is a Husky and Swiss White Shepherd combo....
Kayuh is a 2 year-old energetic husky who loves snowboarding and playing in the snow. She also enjoys running around her Oma's house and tearing the leaves off plants. She rarely has any down time, but when she does, she loves snuggles with her owners, Kirsten Maurer and Mat Tocko....
Meet Missy, a "well-behaved" two-year old cat who lives in Gunbarrel with companion Mabel Stewart. Writes Mable: "She is curious, and always needs to be apprised of what I'm reading or writing. She is easily distracted though; here, a sound outdoors draws her attention before I can capture a snapshot of her facing the camera. We're just enjoying a lazy afternoon in Gunbarrel. She's an indoor cat but has lots of open-aired windows to keep abreast of what the squirrels, birds, and butterflies are...
This adorable menace is Ripley, an 11-week old goldendoodle retriever adopted last month from the Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies (goldenrescue.com) by Courier editor Jocelyn Rowley and her family. She enjoys cavorting in the snow, playing with her new friends Lucy and Louie in obedience class and hiding under the bed from the vacuum....
Bear and Mini are two sophisticated, urbane canines. They live in Denver, but vacation in Gunbarrel. Both have found the Gunbarrel staff to be attentive and considerate. Walks are plentiful, especially with trips down the Cottontail Trail and summer swim time at Twin Lakes. A cold nose in the face of staff members at sunrise always produces a breakfast fit for royalty. Their only complaint is not enough scraps on the floor....

Wall-e is a four-year-old yellow lab who lives with Niwot High staffer Michelle Baker and believes he's human. Writes Baker, "He is not named after the Pixar robot. I was lucky enough to have the pleasure to be his human from my family in Iowa. They love to fish for Walleye and Pike, and I wanted to honor their passion. His real name is Wallingford Pike, or Wall-e for short. Also known as Wallace, Waller, and Walls. He's a lover, not a fighter and always wanting to please. He loves the dog...
Meet Maverick and Goose, whose names honor two of America's greatest fictional Cold War heroes, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell and his partner Nick "Goose" Bradshaw, who trained during the 1980s at the US Navy's Fighter Weapons School in San Diego, California, before a tragic accident led to Bradshaw's death. While the canine Maverick and Goose don't feel as much "need for speed" as their cinema counterparts, they do enjoy "long walks, playing fetch (or keep away), and spending as much time with...

Writes Alexandra, "I never intended to have a huge white dog, but as it happened, Zianna lives with us and enriches our lives to no end.
