Wee Lil’ Callaghan O’Grady

Top o’ the Morning to ya! I’m Wee Lil’ Callaghan O’Grady and, at 12 wks and 6.5 lbs, I’m doing my darnedest to grow into my fantastic name (I’ll probably be about 15-20 lbs when full grown)!  I’m a happy-go-lucky lad (called “Cal” for short ) who is thought to be part terrier/part teddy bear.   Seriously – there’s no other explanation to my fluffy, cuteness except to presume that I’ve got some teddy-bear-genes on the inside!

I’m a snuggly, cuddly bear who loves to be held.  Don’t get me wrong, I can romp with the best of pups (I especially love romping with my 75-lb canine foster sibling) but, at the end of the day, I’m just looking for a warn lap to nuzzle up in.  Like all puppies, I need a family with the time, dedication and patience to teach me ALL that is expected of an adult canine.  Given my young age, I’m likely to get along well with all creatures and I’d love continued exposure to friendly children, cats and dogs as I grow.

Need a little lucky charm for St. Patrick’s Day 2014?  If so, please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today and ensure you correctly spell and/or pronounce my name:

Wee Lil’ Callaghan O’Grady !

Bella

Ciao Bella! Bella – beautiful outside. Bella – beautiful inside. Bella – ME!

 Ciao to you all. I’m Bella – a 3 year-young lab/husky mix who is 100% beautiful both inside and out.  I’m simply a victim of my genetics as my former family decided I grew too big for their family.  While I’m sad about leaving the children (who I adored) in my former home, I’m an optimistic gal who has full faith that I’ll find my perfect Forever Family with the help of Paws & Co.! 

At 70 loveable lbs, I’m looking for a home with a yard where I can stretch my beautiful legs.  I’d love a doggie sibling or two (although not mandatory!) as I get along well with all dogs I’ve met.  I’ve yet to encounter a cat so I’m not quite sure what I think about them.  I’m a young, energetic pup who needs a family with the time and dedication to keep us both active and healthy.  Our active time should be enjoyable for us both as I’m rather well-behaved on a leash!

 As my former family didn’t have enough time to care for me, I can be a bit “clingy” to you humans.  I like to follow you all around the house and I don’t love to be left alone.  I just know that my perfect Forever Family will help me learn to feel secure and trust that you’ll always come home to me!

 If a beautiful-on-the-inside & beautiful-on-the-outside girl might fit well into your family, please emailpawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today. Until then, Ciao Bella!

Scarlett

“After all…tomorrow is another day.”

Good day! I’m Scarlett & the above quote by fancy Ms. Scarlett O’Hara perfectly illustrates my sunny views on life.  I’m a 1.5 year-young little (40-lb.) lady who, for some silly reason, was relinquished to a shelter along with my doggie friend (named Rhett, of course!)  While no one is sure why our former human companion(s) couldn’t keep us, the Paws & Co. folks really don’t believe is was behavior-related as I’m a sweet-as-tea lady!

I get along just peachy with all dogs I’ve encountered through Paws & Co.  And, while I seem to LOVE all humans I’ve encountered, I might just knock over those youngins in my exuberance displays of athletic spasticity (how’s that for a visual, eh?!?)  As far as the feline species, I have yet to encounter them but my foster mom, bless her heart, thinks I probably shouldn’t cohabitate with a cat given my strong instinct to chase squirrels.

I’ll need a family with the time, dedication and patience to help me learn exactly what is expected of a stellar adult canine.  I’ve got a head start, though, as I’m already crate-trained, potty-trained and I’m quickly learning some basic obedience commands. 

Might you be interested in givin’ me some sugar for the rest of our lives?  If so, let’s start already by your emailing mail pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today!

Rhett

Frankly, my dears, I DO give a darn!

I give a darn about my about doggie bones (fun! fun!); I give a darn about keeping your carpet tidy (that’s a polite way of saying I’m housetrained) but, mostly, I give a darn about making you humans happy!  

Good day! I’m Rhett – a 1 year-young, 45-lb shepherd mix who is a lover-not-a-fighter.  For some reason, my doggie girlfriend (named Scarlett, of course!) and I were relinquished to a shelter. While no one is quite sure why our former human companion(s) couldn’t keep us, the Paws & Co. folks really don’t believe it was behavior-related as I’m quite the (Southern) gentleman! 

I get along just peachy with all dogs I’ve encountered through Paws & Co. And, although I have yet to meet any young children or cats, my sweet-as-pecan-pie temperament is likely to mesh well with all friendly creatures.  Of course, like any adolescent boy, I need a human with the time, patience and dedication to teach me exactly what is expected of an exceptional adult canine.  Don’t fret, however, as I’m intelligent, cuddly and oh-so-eager to please!

I’m searching for the perfect human who simply gives a darn about me. (S)he must give a darn about snuggling with me; give a darn about how adorably cute my curly tail is; and gives a darn about providing the secure life I deserve!

Fiddle-dee-dee!  Come meet me!  Please hurry on up and email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today!

Charlie

Charlie 

“Happiness is a warm puppy” –Charles Schultz (Peanuts creator)

What about a 55-lb, 1.5 year young handsome-as-all-get-out pup with a lifetime of happiness to offer?!? That’s me! Charlie!  A young, relatively low-maintenance dude who is happily adapting to life outside the shelter and inside my warm foster family.

I enjoy the company of all humans I’ve met although my meetings with children have yet to occur.  I’m also unfamiliar with the feline species so I’m not quite sure what I think of them.  I think my foster-dog-sibling is just swell and a Forever-doggie-sibling might be fun.  Like all adoptable pets, I’ll need to meet all potential Forever Family members to ensure our compatibility.  While I’m not currently that  into the “fetch” game (there are so many other things to explore!), I absolutely LOVE stuffed animals (I especially love tossing them up in the air and pouncing on them as they return to earth!) as well as bones, carrying around tennis balls and wrestling with other dogs.  Did I mention that I’m also an expert kisser? 

My foster family is experienced with fostering and states that I’m “one of the easier fosters” they’ve ever had!  So glad to hear that as I don’t want to be a bother! 

Now that I’ve told you a bit about myself, I’ll end with my absolute favorite Charles Schultz quote:  “All his life he tried to be a good person. Many times, however, he failed.  For after all, he was only human. He wasn't a dog.”

I promise to love you through all of life’s ups and downs (and hope you’ll return the favor!)  Let’s start our life together already by you emailing pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or filling out an adoption application on the website today (don’t forget to mention Charlie!!)

Maggie

Maggie 

“Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.” –Dr. Seuss

G’day, happy human! I’m Maggie – a 45-lb, 3-year-young unique gal (maybe a “Sheiver”?  That’s a Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix for those of you who don’t speak ‘Dr. Seuss’!)  I’m a mellow, loving pup who loves nothing more than to please you humans.  Since I ended up in a shelter as a stray, not too much is known about my past (according to Dr. Seuss, “Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple”. )  What’s the “answer” he refers to?  Well…love, warmth and family of course!  Anyways, my past is my past and I fully appreciate that, “You ought to be thankful a whole heaping lot, for The places and people you're lucky you're not!”  My past does nothing but make me appreciate my present and look forward to my future!

I’m quite the great house-mate in my foster home – never pottying indoors, learning basic obedience commands and offering infinite cuddles (45-lbs is definitely the perfect lap-dog size , eh?!?)  I get along well with all humans and other dogs I’ve met but I’m not quite sure about those creatures you call cats (I simply haven’t met any yet so not sure my opinion).  Don’t worry, when I come across a cat, I’ll be sure to let you know my feelings…after all, I’ve always “meant what I said and said what I meant”!

Has my clever, unique doggie biography impressed you?  If so, let’s meet and start discovering all the “places [we] will go”!  Please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today!

“You're off to Great Places!

Today is your day!

Your mountain is waiting,

So... get on your way!” 

Sarah

Single, excessively delightful, black Labrador mix seeks caring, lovable family for lifelong companionship.  

A bit about myself: I'm Sarah - a 40-lb, 2-year young gal who is described as “sweet, sweet, sweet to the bone; beautiful spirit with great energy” by my foster mom.  I’m house-trained, know some basic obedience commands as well as how to walk on a leash and I’m even crate-trained (for short periods only, please!)  I’m an expert tail wagger and am very eager to please all around me. 

Future companion family must include at least one adult human and may also include human children, other friendly dogs or even cats (I get along with all friendly creatures I’ve encountered)! 

My foster Mom even uses the word “perfect” to describe me! In fact, she says “perfect size; perfect disposition; perfect manners”.  Of course, none of us are actually perfect, but I’m blushing a bit hearing how she describes me!

Might I be the gal to warm your heart this winter (and for many more winters ahead?!?) If you think we sound like a potential ‘match’, please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today!
