Stella

Sweet, loyal, 3-year-young American Bulldog mix with a laid-back attitude toward life searches for her ' Thumper'.  I don't mean to confuse you readers by throwing a random name in there so, to clarify, my name is Stella but I remind my amazing foster mom of the innocent deer, Bambi.  Just like Bambi, I am searching for a Forever Best Friend.  And, just like Bambi, I faced tragedy in my young life as my former human companion had to transfer to hospice care and wasn't able to take me along.  Although my heart was broken, I didn't want to add to the family's suffering so I put on my strong face, expressed my gratitude for all the love we shared and am ready to find another fantastic human family with the help of Paws & Co. Adoptions.

I am so very thankful for my loving, nurturing foster mom who is helping me during this difficult time of transition.  She has nothing but great things to say about me and I do my very best to relay my gratitude toward her via my very expressive eyes and ears.  Although I'm a bigger-sized pup at 50-lbs., I can be a bit timid when I first meet new people or canines.  With that said, I've gotten along just fine with other laid-back canine companions.  I have yet to encounter any young children or cats so please inquire if such creatures are part of your family.

My perfect human companion(s) are patient, easy-going and enjoy lazy days lounging around on the couch (with a nice stroll or two around the 'hood, of course).  While I know some basic indoor doggie manners (I'm crate-trained and know how to "sit"), I'd love some further training to help me learn exactly what is expected of a superstar adult canine family member.

Might you be my 'Thumper'?  If so, please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today and mention Stella!

Mister Snuggles

Welcome to your entertainment for the evening – the primetime season premier of “The Beverly Hill-chi’s”!  Starring Me: Mister Snuggles (you can call me Snuggles for short).  Our show’s primary objective is naming characters after their most endearing personality trait (which happens to be snuggling for moi); secondary objective is attracting loving, committed humans to contact Paws & Co. Adoptions and set up a personal autograph session with the star (that me – Mister Snuggles if you need a reminder!).

A little background about our leading man – I’m a 4-6 month young Chihuahua mix who weighs about 10-lbs and will probably reach a hefty 15-lbs or so when I reach adulthood.  Don’t fret – I’m not like many of those child-stars that have grown up in Hollywood as I’m absolutely on my way to becoming a productive member of society.  I’m learning the ropes of being an excellent housemate – mastering pottying only outside or on potty pads, quickly conquering  a doggie door and learning some basic obedience commands.  I’m rather well-behaved on a leash (you never know what agents you’ll run into out there and first appearances are important!) and I get along swell with all humans (including kiddos) and dogs I’ve encountered.  I’ve been asked about “cats” but I’m not too sure what “cats” are – so if a cat is part of your family, we’ll need to ensure compatibility (chemistry is everything in our entertainment industry!) prior to making a life-long commitment.  Like all young’uns, I’ll need a family with the time, patience and dedication to help me grow and develop into the superstar adult canine that is my destiny.


If you’re looking to welcome a young, handsome superstar in to your family, please email my Paws & Co. peeps at pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today!

Tegan

Well, now that Juan Puablo’s Bachelor season is a wrap, it’s time for America’s next Bachelorette and, fortunate for you, you’ve stumbled across the leading contender!  Me! Teagan! A 4-month-young, 15-lb (destined to gain a few – maybe an adult weight of 25 lbs?) beauty who is eligible to join your family forever!

As a puppy, I’m playful, friendly with all creatures I’ve met and am figuring out the ropes of what is expected of a stellar, beloved adult canine family member.  I am a fast learner and already know how to use the doggie door, sleep in a crate and enjoy doggie toys.  Of course, I’ll need a family with the patience, time and dedication to help me really excel in the people-pleasing department! 

As an eligible bachelorette, I read on google that I should keep up with current affairs (well, I already let you know that the Bachelor finale occurred?!?), demonstrate good character (I’m friendly, loving and have a great sense of humor) and be socially involved in our community (I’ve met some great folks in both the Colorado shelter (where I ended up as a stray) as well as some great city-folk here in Denver!)  Check! Check! Check!

Might you fulfill all my ‘checkboxes’?  If so, please email Paws & Co. Adoptions at pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today!

Jax

ABSOLUTE charmer.
ABSOLUTE lover.
ABSOLUTE commitment.

Hello there. I’m Jax – a 45-lb cattle dog/German short haired pointer mix who happens to be a black-and-white kind-of-a guy (both physically and emotionally).  Speaking of black-and-white, I remind my foster mom of that comic strip character Dennis the Menance as I’m quite the sweetie-pie but can get myself into trouble when no one is looking (can’t all young pups!?!)  I’ve bounced around quite a bit in my 2-year-life and I’m looking for a human(s) who will ABSOLUTEly commit to providing me the safe, quiet life for which I yearn.

While I can be a bit fearful of new people, I am an amazingly sweet, attentive, loyal pup once I know you are a trusted human. In fact, my favorite passstime isn’t all that dog-park craziness – it’s simply relaxing with my human companion(s).  Given that I find adult humans a bit intimidating, I definitely shouldn’t live with any of those unpredictable human ankle-biters that you humans refer to as ‘children’. 

When I’m not ‘actively chillin’ with my people, I enjoy tossing around & pouncing on my doggie toys, challenging myself with a yummy Kong-toy and munching on a ice cubes. I know how to use the doggie door, know some basic obedience commands and will go willingly into the crate (as long as I’m rewarded with a scrumptious treat!)  Speaking of ‘rewards’, I need a human(s) who will ABSOLUTEly commit to continuing the positive reinforcement training that I’m currently receiving in my awesome foster home.  The Paws & Co. folks can help introduce you to some positive reinforcement techniques (I’m very food motivated!) if you’re not familiar with the term.

My fear issues extend to other dogs so I probably shouldn’t cohabitate with any other dogs at this time.   I also have some skin allergies and need to be on a special diet – it’s really no big deal but my potential human just needs to be aware (there are no secrets here!)


I just know that I will make some really lucky human SO happy.  Might you be the ABSOLUTEly perfect match for me?  I might sound like a lot of work, but I’m ABSOLUTEly worth the investment!  Please email Paws & Co. Adoptions at pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today and ask about Jax!

Dublin

Dublin 

Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah!

Ahem…oh, excuse me - ya caught me singing.  Well, top o’ the mornin’ to ya!  I’m Dublin – a 1.5 year-young, 45-lb brown-eyed girl searchin’ for my Forever Family.  As a stereotypical Labrador, I’ll make a great family dog for any human family consisting of older children and doggie-siblings (and an adult or two – or more for that matter!)  Cats don’t seem to appreciate my keen interest in them (what fascinating creatures, eh?!?) so I probably shouldn’t live with any cats. 

For some crazy reason, I ended up an unclaimed stray at a rural Colorado shelter.  It seems that I was well-trained in my former home as I am comfortable in a crate, know some basic obedience commands and I’m potty-trained.  I get a little overwhelmed with joy when I first see you humans so I’ll need a family that can help me learn to keep 4-paws-on-the-floor when you first come around (although, if I do say so myself, my 2-legged Irish jig is pretty darn cute!)  

Laughing and a-running, hey, hey,
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping
And you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.


Might a happy-go-lucky Irish-American canine be the perfect match for your life?  If so, you’ve found your gal! Please email Paws & Co. Adoptions at pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today!

Delilah

Hi-ya! I’m Delilah, a 14-week Rhodesian Ridgeback/Shepherd mix who keeps having a recurring dream where some face-less (but clearly AMAZING human) is serenading me to the following song…

Harrumph…insert music here…

“Hey there Delilah – What’s it like in Denver City?
I’m a few miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Lanny’s Clocktower can’t shine as bright as you
I swear it’s true…”

I’m a cuddly, friendly, stinkin’ adorable puppy who absolutely LOVES when my foster mama carries me around (yep…she is still able to carry me at 25-lbs but that won’t last long as the Paws & Co. folks predict I’ll be about 80-lbs when full grown!!)  I’m starting to learn all of those basic doggie manners (I especially need redirection about what is and is not a chew toy!) but I definitely will need a family with the time, patience and commitment to help me develop into a polite, well-behaved girl – after all, no one thinks it’s cute when an 80-lb dog doesn’t know her manners!  Since I’m such a young, sweet, impressionable gal, I’d probably get along well with all creatures (dogs, cats, young kids) but need early, consistent exposure to different creatures and environments so I can learn to trust and love all beings.

Now…back to my puppy dream…

“Hey there Delilah
You be good and don’t you miss me…
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here’s to you
This one’s for you”


Please hurry on up and email Paws & Co. Adoptions at pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today!  We’ve got a life to start already!

Molly

Molly 

Hi-ya!  I’m Molly, a 2 year-old, 35-lb. Boston Terrier who has heard that there are human families out there who actually enjoy sharing their lives with the family dog(s) – providing a lifetime of love, exercise, yummy food, treats, snuggles, etc, etc, etc!  Woah Baby! SIGN ME UP!

I spent my first two years of life a bit neglected.  I lived with another Boston Terrior (potentially my mom but no one is sure) – mostly outside – and we didn’t receive too much human attention.  Man-oh-man – how life can change!  I’m LOVING life at my foster home – enjoying the company of my foster canine sibling, leash-walks around the ‘hood, those “Kong” treats with peanut butter inside and, most of all, CAR RIDES!  If I must say so myself, I make quite an adorable copilot with my pointy ears and big ole’ Boston Terrier SMILE!  Some other adorable characteristics include my ability to ‘barrel’ my way under blankets as well as rubbing my back on the floor while I grunt with happiness.  I’m quickly learning the ropes of being an indoor dog – I’m (mostly) potty-trained, know how to sit and I’m adjusting to a crate for short periods of time. 


Might you be that fantastic Forever human who will show me that the world really is a good, fun and exciting place?  If so, please email Paws & Co. Adoptions at pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today!

Sassy

Good day, gentle-people.  I'm Sassy, a proper 6 year-old, 53-lb English bulldog who is looking for love.   Although I try to live up to my refined proper-English-lady roots, I just can't help the frequent snorts & other noises that I emit.  Guess I'll have to focus on the positive side of these body acoustics...they (generally) make you humans *smile*!!

Despite our "sourpuss" expression, us English bulldogs are considered docile & affectionate.  I don't disappoint as I'm a super-star cuddler!  I’m great with most people once we get to know each other – although I’m a little suspicious of those rug-rat-humans (their manners can be a little questionable) so I’d prefer living with older children and adults only please.  My amazing foster mom compares me to Meryl Streep as I make middle-age look GOOD – full of class, grace and still with a long ‘career’ of snuggles & smiles ahead of me!

Through no fault of my own, I’ve bounced around between several different homes.  One of my previous families kept me in a crate for prolonged periods of time so I’m not a huge crate-fan.  Don’t worry, I make my English-people proud as I seem to have great house-manners.  I can be a bit picky about other dogs (enjoying the company of some – but not others) so I'll need to meet all family members to ensure that we'll make good life-long companions.  No one (including me!) is sure about how I’d cohabitate with a cat as I have yet to have any witnessed encounters. 


Won't you please come meet the short-est, square-est gal available for adoption through Paws & Co. Adoptions?!?   You can start the process by emailing pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or filling out an application on the Paws & Co. website TODAY!
