Bo

Hi there. I'm Bo and I have a very, very important job...to make sure my humans are happy!  I'm a 2.5 year-old Bernese Mountain/German Shepherd mix who was relinquished to a high-kill shelter after another dog in the home was picking on me (not *my* fault!)  Since being rescued by Paws & Co., I've moved on from my relinquishment disappointment & I'm thoroughly enjoying ensuring the happiness of my foster parents!

I'm a big, friendly guy who seems to enjoy the company of all humans (young & older) and cats I've encountered.  I have quite a submissive personality and I appreciate more low-key, relaxed canine companions.  Since I'm so busy ensuring my humans' happiness, I'm not too interested in such things as toys or rough play - I'd much prefer a calm leash walk, snuggling and simply being in my humans' presence.  Of course to keep my foster parents happy, I only potty outside and I'm quickly learning basic obedience commands.  I don't really love being separate from my humans, so I'd do best with a family who can spend a significant portion of their time with me.  Don't worry, I'm not high-maintenance, I simply enjoy some company!

If you're searching for a young man who will spend his life ensuring your happiness, please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website today - remembering to ask for Bo!

Medford



"Pick me! Pick me! Me! Me!" -Donkey, Shrek 2001

Good day! I'm Medford, an 8-week, 16-lb puppy who may be part Shepherd? Part heeler? Part angel? No matter my exact DNA, I'm a euphoric, sensitive, happy-go-lucky guy who reminds my foster dad of "Donkey" from Shrek!  While waiting to meet my FOREVER FAMILY, I'm living every moment to the fullest & trying to figure out exactly what will make me a superstar large adult canine citizen.

Since being rescued from an overcrowded shelter just days before my scheduled euthanasia date, I've already demonstrated that I'm great with young children (I've enjoyed the company of children as young as 1 y/o!) and I LOVE all dogs I've met.  I also spent some time around a cat and we just ignored each other.  Like any puppy, I LOVE playing games (fetch and tug-of-war are my favorites) but I'll need a family with the time, dedication and patience to ensure that I become the well-mannered canine that such a large dude should be. 

If you're interested in meeting (and hopefully "picking me!"), please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website today.  Applications from smelly ogres, princesses, dragons or just friendly humans are all welcome!

Cloe


Cloe bio

Looking for a brush with fame? Look no further...you found your chance by browsing my bio!  I'm Cloe, a young Doberman Pinscher pup who, along with my sister, Abby, is famous around Paws & Co. for being two of the most adorable pups in history!  I'm the larger pup (although we both have huge paws and will surely be large beauties when fully grown) currently weighing in just over 12-lbs (at 8 weeks!) and I have TWO white back feet (it's pretty stinkin' cute, if you ask me!)  I love to play with my foster family (both 2-legged & 4-legged) and I'm quickly learning basic puppy manners (including leash walks (soooo fun!) & potty training).  I love to run in my sleep (there are just so many squirrels and rabbits to chase in my dreams!) and I love the smile on my foster mom's face when I wake up after an especially fun sleep-run :)

Like all puppies, I'll need a family with the time, dedication and patience to teach me what is expected of a first-class adult canine.  I do have a head start though as I'm friendly, curious & eager to please!  After too much drama in my first few weeks of life (I was actually on a euthanasia list in an over-crowded shelter...GULP...), I'm an optimistic, fun-loving puppy who is excited to settle down with my FOREVER FAMILY and learn that there are fabulous humans out there who will commit to a life-time of love and fun!!

While I love my sister, we are both definitely open to being adopted to separate homes.  If you're interested in bring some joy into your life, please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website today - being sure to mention the famous sisters!

Looking for a brush with fame? Look no further...you found your chance by browsing my bio!  I'm Abby, a young Doberman Pinscher pup who, along with my sister, Cloe, is famous around Paws & Co. for being two of the most adorable pups in history!  I'm the smaller pup (although we both have huge paws and will surely be large beauties when fully grown) currently weighing in around 10-lbs and I have a white back foot (it's pretty stinkin' cute, if you ask me!)  I love to follow my foster family (both 2-legged & 4-legged) wherever they go and I'm quickly learning basic puppy manners.

Like all puppies, I'll need a family with the time, dedication and patience to teach me what is expected of a first-class adult canine.  I do have a head start though as I'm friendly, curious & eager to please!  After too much drama in my first few weeks of life (I was actually on a euthanasia list in an over-crowded shelter...GULP...), I'm an optimistic, fun-loving puppy who is excited to settle down with my FOREVER FAMILY and learn that there are fabulous humans out there who will commit to a life-time of love and fun!!

Ewok

Hello! I'm Ewok, a pint-sized 9 year-old Brussels Griffon who is searching for my Forever Family! True to my breed, I'm intelligent, cheerful and spunky and will make an excellent companion to some lucky Family!  Given that my obnoxious puppy-years are behind me, you can enjoy a well-mannered, polite pup who is already housetrained and knows basic obedience commands.  However, in the spirit of full-disclosure, I must mention that I thoroughly enjoy chasing my tail just like a young puppy!  

I appreciate the company of all people (young and not-so-young!), dogs and cats that I've encountered and I'm quite the snuggler (I sure hope my new Family will let me on the couches...)  As a longer haired pup, I don't mind baths or grooming (in fact, I appreciate the special attention!)  And, did I mention that, as a Brussels Griffon, my coat is hypoallergenic and my facial expressions are amazingly human-like?!? 

If you want to read a life-time of gratitude in my facial expression, please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website today - ensuring that you mention Ewok!

Farrah

"Good morning, angels." A famous line from a famous show starting my namesake, Farrah Fawcett! Hello! I'm Farrah, a 2-3 year-old stunningly beautiful shepherd/retriever/collie mix and, appropriately, I have a fabulous blonde fur coat and amazing strut that I love to flaunt when out on walks!!   I'm actively seeking my Forever Family after being fortunate enough to be rescued from a rural Colorado shelter. 
In addition to my physical beauty, I have a friendly, docile demeanor and I enjoy the company of my super foster mom as well as all other folks I've met.  My foster family doesn't include human children but I've been friendly with kids I've met when out and about.  I have yet to have a witnessed encounter with a cat so please inquire further if a cat is part of your family.  My foster mom describes me as "full of energy, curious, loving, protective, smart/very quick learner!"  In addition, I give really amazing kisses (and who doesn't want to say they've been kissed by Farrah!?!)  Did I mention I'm also housebroken?

One more tidbit that I'd like to mention before we meet...I refuse to model in that iconic red swimsuit that won my namesake world-wide fame in 1976.  So, as long as we both agree to keep red swimsuits out of our relationship, please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website today - ensuring that you mention "Farrah"!

Winston bio

"And 1! And 2! And 3!" 

Howdy good folks, I'm Winston a 7-year-young 35-lb Wheaten Terrier who reminds my foster dad of Richard Simmons with my curly coat, optimistic energy and happy-go-lucky personality!  Even though I may have loads of energy, I always strive to release energy appropriately and then relax at appropriate times (after all, I do have those obnoxious puppy years out of the way!)  Speaking of obnoxious puppy-habits, I have none of those as I'm already potty-trained, know basic obedience commands (sit, shake, down, stay, "go to your place", am kennel/crate trained (I respond to "kennel up!"), and I'm a fast & eager learner!  

I am thoroughly enjoying my foster family and have been friendly with all older children and adults I've met.  I'm not too interested in toddlers and younger children and have chosen to ignore them when in the same vicinity.  I can be a bit dominant with other dogs and, as far as cats, we have yet to have a witnessed encounter.  As always, I'll need to be sure to meet any future canine or feline siblings before determining whether we can be roomies.

I'll leave you with my favorite Richard Simmons quote, "Number 1, like yourself. Number 2, eat healthy. And number 3, you've got to squeeze your buns. That's my formula."  Now hurry up, get off the couch and contact Paws & Co. today!  Be sure to mention "Winston" when you either email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. website!

Sherlock

Hi there & thank you for visiting my very own autobiography site!  I'm told I'm supposed to advertise myself here so I'll give it my best shot!  

I'm Sherlock - a 5 year-young, Beagle/Labrador mix with a mellow nature.  I'm a happy guy who is content to just snuggle up until you want something more of me.  I'm housetrained, crate trained & I already know basic obedience commands. I enjoy the company of other dogs but I've not spent too much time around children or cats so I'm not yet sure what I think of them. I can say that I'm a curious & quick guy who likes to explore the world (I am named Sherlock after all!) so I'll need a family who can ensure that I stay safely contained within my home or on a leash.   In summary, I'm a gem of a canine who will make some lucky human(s) a fantastic life-partner!

2013 has been a tough year as I somehow ended up in a shelter...but I was fortunate to be rescued by my foster family with Paws & Co.! I'm grateful for everyone's efforts to find me the perfect Family & I will spend the rest of my life working to repay all the humans' kindness.  If you want to be the main recipient of my gratitude, then please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website today!

Ollie

Choo! Choo! All Aboard!  I'm Ollie, a 5-year-young terrier/maltese mix who is about as friendly and cute as pups come! One of my most impressive qualities (in addition to my handsome face, of course) is my fabulous howl that I show off whenever I hear a train whistle - it sure makes you humans smile so I just keep on doing it!

I'm a super sweet and mellow guy looking for a low-key family who will be pleased just to have my company.  I am potty-trained and I'm quite the snuggler!  When I'm not showing off my impressive howl, I'm a quiet young man who simply enjoys the presence of all humans and canines that I've met.  I have yet to have the pleasure of meeting young children or cats so we'd need to ensure our compatibility before committing to a life-long relationship (wink!wink!)  

If you're looking for a calm, friendly, sweet companion, you need search no more!  Please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website so we can get on the right "track" (get it?!? "track" as in trains?!? ha!ha!) to our new life together!  Choo! Choo!

Lucy




We're all familiar with "I Love Lucy" but did you know the opening lyrics to the theme song?

I love Lucy & she loves me.We're as happy as two can be...


Doesn't that sound like a perfect theme song for our happy ending together?  Hi!  I'm Lucy - a 1.5 year 55-lb lab/cattle dog mix who strives to live up to my name as an All-American gal!  Since moving in with my foster family in Denver, I've been busy showing off my best traits: intelligence (I already know basic obedience commands), excellent social skills (I get along with all dogs and people (even some "little Ricky's" I've met), manners (I only potty outside) and snuggliness (one of my favorite activities!)  I just need a family with a little love and patience to help become the superstar canine citizen that is my destiny!  I have yet to meet a cat so we'd need to arrange a meeting before deciding if we could be roomies.


I love that I'm the lucky gal who will get that All-American happy-ending story (from humble beginnings in rural Colorado to a nice rural foster home to a foster home in the big city to my FOREVER FAMILY!)  Can you help with my happy ending? If so, please hurry up and email   pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. website.  I'm looking forward when we can trot off into the sunset with you singing the closing verses to my theme song...


And life is heaven you see,'Cause I love Lucy, Yes I love Lucy, and Lucy loves me.


Don't we all LOVE LUCY?!?
