George #162

Which way did he go, George, which way did he go? 

Ahem…hello!  I’m George and my wise, mellow outlook on life would make me the perfect go-to guy for some lucky human.   I’m a 50-lb, 1 year-young husky who was initially found as a stray.  When no one claimed me, I was oh-so-fortunate to end up in a foster home through Paws & Co.!  My stunning eyes have become the talk of the Paws & Co. folks as many-a-volunteers have gotten 'lost' while we gaze lovingly at each other :)

I’m a rather well-behaved gentleman who is housetrained, good on a leash and pretty darn calm for an adolescent boy.  I get along well with all dogs I've met but I have yet to meet any young children or cats.  With that said, I'm likely to get along well with any and all calm, friendly creatures. My ideal Forever Family is a chill home to match my chill personality. Since I enjoy the company of people so very much, I'd love a home where I get to spend the majority of days with my Family.  I'm also quite the athlete and I'll need to be in a home with a secure yard & fence to keep me safe at home!  

If you’re looking for a handsome, laid-back canine companion, I just might be your go-to-guy!  Please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today!

Chuckie

Chuckie

Calm, sweet, undemanding 4 ½ lb. Yorkie seeks a Forever Valentine to share life with.  After a few too many weeks in a shelter (I was picked up as a stray), I’m thrilled to be able to await my Valentine’s arrival in a warm, loving foster home. Speaking of “warm”, I thoroughly enjoy wearing fashionable sweaters and my very favorite spot is in the lap of loving humans.  When no lap is available, I spend a good part of my days chasing the rays of sunshine around my foster home (in order to optimize my direct-sunlight-snoozing, of course!) 

At 8-years-young, I have all those annoying puppy-habits out of the way – I’m already potty-trained and I promise to not chew up your slippers (although I might just snuggle up in them if you leave them unattended!)  I already know some obedience commands including sit, come and shake.  According to the two young girls in my foster home, I’m also quite the amazing dancer (I’ll do quite the jig on my hind legs as long as my performance is rewarded with a treat!)  Did I mention that I don’t shed? 

I seem to get along well with all dogs I’ve met (while there are none in my foster home, I did great in the small dog playgroup in the shelter).  While cats aren’t familiar to me, my foster home includes a guinea pig (that’s nearly as big as me!) and I just ignore him so I’d likely do fine with any and all well-behaved creatures.  Of course, I’ll need a meet-and-greet with any potential family members to ensure that we’re compatible roomies.

If a low-maintenance, handsome, snuggly guy might fit well into your family, please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the website today (ensuring you mention Chuckie!)

Odie

Odie Bio (#164)

“Garfield, is that you?”

Hi-ya! I’m Odie-the-Chihuahua and I’m searching for my Garfield. Given that Garfield is only ranked #437 in the most-popular boys names, I doubt your name is actually Garfield – but, since I can’t speak English, I might refer to you as “Garfield” in my mind if that’s ok.  After all, who wouldn’t want to be part of one of the best dog-human partners in all of American comic history?

At only 5-lbs, I can be a bit timid when I first meet people but I warm up quickly (especially if you offer some snuggles!)  While I spent some of my first 6 months in a rural shelter, I’m still a young pup who’s a very fast learner and I’m quickly learning how to be part of a family.  While I enjoy the company of all humans I’ve met, I don’t think I’d much appreciate the unpredictable-ness of toddlers so I should probably stick with you better-behaved humans. I do love most dogs I’ve encountered (I love to show off my “play-with-me” pose that sure makes folks smile)!  I have yet to meet those creatures you humans refer to as “cats” so I’m not quite sure what I think of them.

My Foster Dad compares me to Alfalfa (from the Little Rascals) given that I’m a skinny, shy, all-around good kiddo!   Garfield? Alfalfa? Odie? Honestly, I don’t care what you call me – but let’s get our life together started!  Please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co.

Roxanne/Roscoe Kittens

Roxanne and Roscoe #157, 158

Hi! I’m Roxanne and this is my wingman, Roscoe.  We’re fabulous 9 month-young DSH kittens found as strays in rural Colorado.  We’re not your average kittens – we share an EXTRA special bond.  You see, I had a problem with my left eye and Roscoe was my wingman in every sense of the word when we were homeless – helping me find food, stay safe and even providing me comfort and cuddles.  Lucky for us, someone noticed us (probably because of our EXTRA specialness) and we were rescued by Paws & Co. where I received necessary medical care.  I may now only have 50% of the eyes of most cats, but I’m 100% happy-go-lucky and we're ready to pounce into our Forever Family!

Like most kittens, we’re playful and love to explore all our home has to offer.  We’re both already litter-box trained and adjusting to living with one of those canine creatures.  We absolutely love all well-behaved humans although we have yet to experience very young children.   Like all adoptable pets, we’ll need to meet all future family members before deciding if our two-some will fit into your family!

If you’re interested in meeting a fabulous pair who can teach us all a thing-or-two about love and loyalty, please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website TODAY!

Bernard

Bernard

Live simply - that’s my motto. Pretty perfect for a 1.5 year-old Boxer/St. Bernard Mix named Bernard (“Boxer” didn’t seem to fit such a gentle giant as myself so we took the simple route and named me “Bernard”). I’m a larger guy at about 65-lbs who appreciates the simple things in life – cuddles, antler-toys to chew, leash walks and a warm home.  I love the company of all humans and other dogs I’ve met – although I have yet to meet young children or cats I’m not quite sure what I think of them. 

Now, I don’t want to give you the impression that I’m a couch potato as I still have a bit of a puppy-side (I absolutely love to romp around with my canine pals)!  Like any larger adolescent, I need a family with the time, dedication and patience to teach me exactly what is expected of an exemplary canine citizen – but, no worries as I already am crate-trained, potty-trained and know some basic obedience commands (sit, shake and down).

When my foster mom was asked to pick a pop culture character that I reminded her of, she chose Jim Halpert from The Office. A witty, intelligent and loyal dude who makes the ladies swoon?!?  I’ll take it!   If such a gentleman might fit well into your family, please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website today and let’s embark on our simple life TOGETHER!!

Pogo

Pogo Bio #161

What do you get if you combine a chincilla and an opossum? Perfection, that’s what!  Howdy there! I’m Pogo (yep, I share a name with that personable opossum from the 1960s-70s comic strip) and I look like an overgrown Chincilla.  Opossum + Chincilla = perfection, for sure!

At 5-years-young and 9-lbs-small, I’m quite the snuggle-bug and I’ve been friendly with all humans (even kids!), dogs and cats I’ve encountered.  I’m not quite sure how I ended up at a rural animal shelter as I’ve always done my darnedest to be good (I’m crate-trained, potty-trained and know some basic obedience commands).  Us opposum/chincillas are optimistic by nature, though, so I’m only focused on the here-now-and-future – which I just know will be fantastic! 

If a mild-mannered, friendly guy might fit well into your family,

Parka

Min Poo Parka in a parka here!  

Howdy! For those of you that didn't catch onto my clever humor, my name is Parka; I love to wear parkas to stay warm and I'm Miniature Poodle!  I'm only about a year old and, somehow, I ended up as a stray in Denver (WITHOUT A PARKA…IN WINTER!)  Brrrrrrr!  Fortunately, I ended up at a great Denver Shelter where (after about a month) my foster family saw me and just KNEW they needed to get me out of the shelter environment (spending my first holidays in a shelter wasn't the best).  BUT, I'm an optimistic guy who cannot wait to spend a lifetime of special days (holidays or not!) with my Fabulous Forever Family!  

I absolutely LOVE all people I've met - although very young kiddos aren't part of my foster world so I'm not quite sure what I'd think of those unpredictable babies.  My foster family does include a 50-lb canine sibling and we seem to just ignore each other (although we do share her dog bed very nicely together).  I also hear there's a grumpy cat somewhere but he has yet to make an appearance in my presence.  As with all rescue pets, I'll need to meet all of my potential Forever Family members to ensure that we're all ready for a life-time commitment.

As you can tell from my photo, I'm quite handsome and my most endearing physical feature must be my lopsided ears…I've heard folks squeal about just how "adorable" they are!  

Might you be the lucky human that I get to share the rest of my (holi)days with?  Might you even feature my ears on your 2014 holiday card?  I have a great idea…a photo (or 2) of our entire family with the holiday greeting, 

"Lopsided-eared Min Poo says 'Happy Holidays to You!'"  

…a guy can dream can't he?!?
