Today’s Boulder’s Dog of the Day is Addie, a joyful, ball-loving pup who perfectly captures everything we love about dogs — and everything dogs love about Boulder, Colorado.

For Addie, life revolves around one simple truth: the ball is everything. Toss it once, and she’s locked in. Toss it twice, and you’ve made a friend for life. Whether she’s sprinting across Boulder’s open space, bounding through a grassy field, or proudly trotting back with her prize, Addie plays fetch like it’s her calling.

Why Addie Is Pure Boulder Energy

Boulder is one of the most dog-friendly cities in the country, and Addie is living proof of why. With miles of open space, mountain backdrops, and off-leash areas designed for happy, healthy pups, this town was made for dogs who love to move.

Addie thrives here. She’s happiest with room to run, a favorite ball in her mouth, and the wide Colorado sky overhead. The Flatirons don’t distract her — unless the ball stops bouncing.

Addie’s Signature Move

Her favorite move? The full-speed launch — ears back, eyes locked, legs flying — followed by a proud return and a look that says, “Again. Obviously.” Addie doesn’t just play fetch; she commits to it with heart and soul.

She reminds us why dogs make Boulder even better: they keep us outside, moving, smiling, and present in the moment.

Addie isn’t just chasing a ball — she’s chasing joy. And in Boulder, that’s what Dog of the Day is all about.
