Our Pets

Macy – Legal Beagle

Macy was a very particular lady and arguably the alpha of the dog pack. If she wanted something, she had no qualms making it very clear to both Moses and Shiloh that they were not to have it. Underneath her leadership attitude, she was all love and affection, however. She would paw at your lap until you cuddled with her and loved to snuggle under any blanket that someone was trying to use, afterall, it was her blanket and she was just letting you borrow it.

Macy crossed the rainbow bridge in October of 2021, but spent many CO days hiking, camping, napping and sunning throughout the day. You could always find her lying in the only spot of sun on the floor, wherever that may have taken her.

Shiloh – The Beagle/Basset a.k.a. Bagel – Legal Beagle in Training

Shiloh was rescued when he was roughly four years old, which made him somewhere in the ballpark of seventeen when he passed away this past spring. He and Macy were connected at the hip, but usually just coexisted with Moses.

Shiloh was an interesting part of the family. He was the sheriff and alarm, he was the worry wart, and was also the best cuddler on the planet. His best achievement was to nap for 5 hours straight without moving. His favorite activities included pacing the house waiting for his humans to come home, barking at doors and eating everything in sight. He was a much loved and invaluable member of Althaus Law.

Moses – The Siberian Husky

Moses was the founding father of Althaus Law and loved by everyone that met him. Unfortunately, we lost this brave soul in 2020, but he will always be remembered. He had a great plan in place that fortunately transferred all his assets and love to those who needed it most.

Moses loved everyone and was quick to greet all with his wet nose. As anyone who has ever had a husky in the family knows, shedding was on the top of his priority list. Underneath all that fur, however, was a kind-hearted and much loved member of the Althaus Law family. If you had a chance to meet him, you undoubtedly left happier than when you walked in, and probably with some of that dog hair on you too. RIP Moses, we miss you.

Skye

Skye is a Siberian Husky, Great Pyrenees mix that spends most of her day wrangling 3 and 4 year siblings around her house. When at work, she is wrangling 3 to 4 attorneys at a time, ensuring our work product is pristine, and time is managed efficiently with treats and walks around the lake. She is also part of the welcoming committee in our Northglenn office, and she looks forward to meeting you!

Moof

Moof was just a few months old when she was adopted into the Seale family. We originally named her after Mufasa but that just didn’t fit. Moof is much more her style. Though she hasn’t been climbing with us yet, she has enjoyed little walks outside, as long as she can still see the front door (not huge on snow, though). We try to spoil her with all kinds of toys, but we have found that Moof specifically likes old shoelaces and other strings. Boxes that are about to be recycled are another one of her favorite things. She does occasionally cuddle with us, usually right when the person whose lap she has selected has to get up for whatever reason. Overall, Moof is a funny little cat who brightens our everyday!

Heidi

Heidi loves to annoy her big sister, Moof, and chasing any kind of string that appears in her line of sight. She can be heard purring from miles away, though she is great at hiding in the shadows to catch those unsuspecting strings (hence, Heidi). She truly is the sweetest little cat friend for Moof that there ever could be.

Kat – Excellence. Enthusiasm. Compassion. Authenticity.

These are the words that Kat lives by as he sleeps 20 hours a day. Andrew adopted Kat right after his 8th birthday from Sloppy Kisses Animal Rescue in Highlands Ranch, and they have been best buddies ever since. We don’t know much about Kat’s back story, but Sloppy Kisses stated that Kat had been sent to them after he had been in a kill shelter in Texas. Kat has very few teeth and no front claws but exudes confidence due to his elegant half moustache. Kat loves to poop, eat, stare out of the window, and encourage other cats to get their estate plans so that all their toys are sure to be passed on to their kittens and so their kittens can avoid cat probate. Andrew is incredibly thankful for Kat’s companionship, and sometimes gets the feeling that Kat thinks that Andrew is his pet, instead of the other way around. Kind of makes you wonder who rescued who? 

Nala

Nala is a one-year-old rescue pup from Burlington, Colorado. She is a mix of Pitbull, Doberman, Rottweiler, and Husky. Despite her intimidating breeds, Nala is the sweetest little girl! She loves all people and animals. Nala is our attorney Andrew's dog, and sometimes we wonder who rescued whom! Nala's favorite person in the world is Andrew's mom, Nancy. Nala's favorite place is the dog park, and her favorite time of day is when Ruby gets to work! You can see Nala daily at Althaus Law, sporting her pink collar and famous pearl necklace. Nala is a little bit timid sometimes, but she is growing and becoming more comfortable. She will be excited to greet you with her big smile when you get here!

Duke

Duke, aka Dukert, aka Dukie Boy, aka Walter, is a 40lb Cattle Dog Mix rescue and professional napper. Don’t let his barking fool you, he is a big softie, that’s just how he expresses himself. He is not shy to let you know when he doesn’t like something, or if you aren’t doing what he thinks you should be, he will let you know! He loves being outside, playing in water or snow, and herding his human siblings. His favorite past time is lounging in his bed or doing tricks for treats! Watch out for his tail when he’s excited, it becomes an unintentional weapon and has knocked plenty of cups off the coffee table! Don’t hold it against him, he’s just an excited boy!

Hercules

Hercules, being the runt of the litter, was small but mighty—and boy, did he grow! Weighing in at just over 70lbs, this Boxer/Husky mix is the life of the party and quite the singer. Hercules' favorite season is Winter, because there's nothing Hercules loves more than to run around outside in the snow! Thunder, fireworks, hail, this guy isn't afraid of anything (unless it's a spray bottle of water, then all bets are off). He absolutely adores his older sister, Ziggy, and tries his hardest to get her to play with him... though he hasn't been successful yet.

Ziggy a/k/a Ziggy Stardust a/k/a Ziggy Smalls

Ziggy is a whole 12lbs of personality! Contrary to her nicknames, this Jack Russell terrier mix is a very quiet pup and is not a renowned singer. She was rescued as a puppy just outside of LA and has been a part of the family for the past 14 years. Though she may be a little old lady, she still runs this household! Her younger brother, Hercules, pests her all the time with his whippersnapper antics.

Barley

Barley's story is that of rags to riches; she was found in a dumpster as a kitten and now sits at the top of the kibble food chain with her loving family. More dog than cat, she keeps up with her two canine siblings, Hercules and Ziggy, to make a very lively household! With her preference for playing with plastic rather than actual toys, it seems this lovable and rambunctious kitty will never forget her roots.

Toby – Head of Security

Toby, who is a Bichon Frise, is head of security at the Althaus Law. This loveable seven pound dog makes sure to alert everyone of anyone entering the firm as his barks are much bigger than him. He only works part time at the firm and he is a very hard worker, as he only naps 5 hours of his shift.

Alba

Alba may be a black Collie/Lab mix, but her personality is pure sunshine. With her sleek dark coat and her one-of-a-kind purple tongue (yes, like a giraffe!), she turns heads wherever she goes. Equal parts adventurer and professional napper, Alba loves long hikes, playful zoomie sessions, and then curling up for a well-earned snooze. She’s gentle, goofy, and always ready for her next outdoor excursion. Alba is currently accepting applications for a future sister and can’t wait to have a built-in best friend to share her adventures with.

Pippa

Pippa is the undisputed boss of the Navarrette family. She is sassy with a capital S, but loves to cuddle with her mom and dad whenever possible. Her favorite things to do are nap in the sun, bully her younger sisters, and survey her kingdom by patrolling windows around the house.

Rosie

Rosie is an archetypal scaredy cat with a heart of gold. Though shy around strangers, she loves to (loudly) chat with her family about the day’s happenings when no one else is around. Rosie loves proofreading her dad’s work while lying on his office desk, sleeping on her mom’s sweaters in the closet, and chasing all things shiny and interesting.

Lucy

Lucy is the newest edition to the Navarrette family and is quickly becoming the princess of the group. She is the epitome of a lapdog, and loves working as her mom’s assistant during work hours. Lucy enjoys going on long hikes, playing fetch, and hanging out with her gang of fellow Cavalier King Charles Spaniels at daycare.

Dio

Dio is an elderly lady who has been part of the Jones household for over twelve years. She was adopted from the Dumb Friends League (now Humane Colorado), where they described her as "not really a lap cat" who "mostly keeps to herself." That turned out to be false advertising; ever since coming home, she has claimed Liz's lap as her full-time throne. Her favorite hobby is napping, but when she is awake, she enjoys scowling judgmentally.

Chapo

Professional alarm system in a very small body. I bark at everything, despise the mailman on principle (never met him), and strongly object to the rabbits that stand sentry in our yard like tiny London guards.
Off duty, I’m a sweet, cuddly, playful little dog who believes in naps, snacks, and maximum snuggles. 

Artemis

Queen of chaos. I irritate Chapo, my dog brother, knock things over when I’m hungry, and accept cuddles strictly on my terms—preferably when it’s cold and you’re warm. Independent and watchful, I carry myself like a tiny version of my Greek goddess namesake, Artemis—fierce, untouchable, and only affectionate when I choose to be.
